Hi!

I finally got my unattend cd working but now I am trying to install third part softwares after I install my windows.

I've done everything I read here http://unattended.msfn.org/ and when I test my installation it says that it could not copy a file.hlp and I click esc and it says it could not copy a dll.

Can I keep that folder with the files so I can use it later?

here is my sif:

;SetupMgrTag

%systemdrive%\install\start.cmd

here is my start.cmd

ECHO.

ECHO Deleting Temp Installation Files...

what can be wrong?

:/

when does it give you these file copy errors? During windows install, or during the third party software install?

i'd think that its a strachted cd. it probably didn't copy the files over correctly

check the cd. and crc values....

Hi

check your system

is the folder C:\Install on the machine

you run the start.cmd from the folder C:\Install..

how you copy the install.cmd to the machine

is on your cd the $Path right???
