screeb Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 Hi All,I remember reading about this somewhere here, but could not find the post(s) once the problem reared it's ugly head on me.I have created what seemed to be a good W2kSP4 Slipstreamed Unattended install(Praise to all who provided instruction). Afterwards, I went to add a windows component (other Network File and Print Services>Print Services fo Unix) and was prompted to "Please insert the Windows 2000 SP4 CD". I think that somehow I must not have copied the install files to the target hard drive. I have been back through the forums, but can't find where to stipulate this in the sif. Any thoughts will be appricated.TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screeb Posted April 5, 2004 Author Share Posted April 5, 2004 More info:I didn't mention that this was an unattended CD install and that the request to "Please insert Windows 2000 SP4 CD" was prompted for on the computer I had installed it on. Again, this was when attempting to install further windows components on that same machine. The WINNT.sif follows:..........................................................;SetupMgrTag[Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes"[unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=No TargetPath=\WINDOWS WaitForReboot="No"[GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=35 OemSkipWelcome=1[userData] ProductID=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX FullName="Username" OrgName="" ComputerName=COMPUTER[Display] BitsPerPel=32 XResolution=800 YResolution=600 Vrefresh=75[RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 Language=00000409[identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP[Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes[branding] BrandIEUsingUnattended=Yes Home_Page=http://www.xxxxx.com[Components] msmsgs=off msnexplr=off[Proxy] Proxy_Enable=0 Use_Same_Proxy=1.................................................................Please tell me what I'm missing.Thanks again.

diesel_98a Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 u seem to be missing this section from the winnt.sif: [Components]. u will have to check the win2k deployment tools to see how u can add it to automatically install when the os is installed.

Aaron Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 You won't need those two in Components for Windows 2000 (msmsgs=off and msnexplr=off). Because it doesn't come with Windows Messenger or MSN Explorer, only XP does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilou_Gateux Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 in your $oem$ directory add or edit :CMDLINES.TXT[Commands]"regedit /s .\srcpath.reg"andSRCPATH.REGWindows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup]"Installation Sources"=hex(7):43,00,3a,00,00,00,00,00"SourcePath"="C:""ServicePackSourcePath"="C:"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]"SourcePath"="C:\\I386"the source files should be copied from your CD to C:\I386When you add optional components, the setup looks in c:\I386 for finding source.
