How to force new install instead of update?

[toreach]

Hi all,

im pretty new to all of these unattended things. But this Site helped me a lot to get it working easily. So fiirst let me say "Thank You".

My first goal was to have an installationversion right on my disk. And till now everything is working fine but the serial acceptment in case i delete the upgrade folders.

If i delete those upgrade folders ill get this "Only Fresh Install" message. I click it and next message is "There was no valid Product ID found". But it is valid because i can fill it out manually and the setup will start copying the files and so on.

If i dont rename/delete the upgrade folders and run the setup it will start updating my current installation and so on without any interaction needed. The serial is valid in this case but it isnt if i delete the winnt upgrade folder.

So either i need to know if there is a switch or modification so i can force setup to do a fresh installation every time without having to delete those folders or even better find a way to delete the upgrade folders w/o this error.

Please tell me how i can get through this! (Its all about WinXP and testet with different versions and languages. Always the same.)

//edit1: ok, my fault, forget what i said! somehow its working now with a clean English Pro SP1 Version using only the deploy tools. No problem with deleted folders and serial! i guess i have to read a little more to figure out what i did wrong on the other versions. only difference is that i used the created unattend batch file this time instead of typing it in the command box.
