Error during unattended installation

[faithlezz]

Hi

There is an error with my unattended Windows XP installation CD, in the final step of the installation it says:

RUNDLL

Specified module could not be found C:\Documents

Does anyone know what this means and how to fix this?

My installation CD has Windows XP Rollup 1, some other hot fixes, my drivers and other programs.

I use RunOnceEx and SVCPACK

Thanks

It is strange that I am the only one who has this kind of problem, anyone?

Ahh.. just means whatever was launched at the time of the error couldn't find what it was looking for, probably Documents and Settings? Since there was a space in your command and no quotes to make it one command, it couldn't find the folder and gave an error.

So, just look for something in your batch files or whatnot and wrap it in quotes. eg..

Change

MOVE C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Start Menu\Programs\Link.lnk C:\Documents and Settings\AllUsers\Start Menu\Programs\Link.lnk

to

MOVE "C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Start Menu\Programs\Link.lnk" "C:\Documents and Settings\AllUsers\Start Menu\Programs\Link.lnk"

Hope that makes sense. Seems more complicated than it should be. Simplest error in the books.

Is 817787 in your svcpack.inf file?

[faithlezz]

Yes

if it says "Specified module could not be found C:\Documents" it defititely is about the "" marks.

if u couldn't spot the problem post your files.
