I am so close to completing my perfect unattended XP install cd I can taste it. I have been at this for nearly four months now and today I ran my latest incarnation - everything went really well no critical updates, no recommended updates apart from one wee glitch.

My cd is a hybrid of Green Machine's XPCREATE (Indespensable) which I use to slipstream all the hotfixes and MSFN's XP / 2003 CD Guide (A life saver) which I am now getting into deeper to install various apps and reg tweaks post first boot. Also, I have to say that this forum has been such a help and an absolutely fantastic education. So, a huge thanks to everybody for all the knowledge shared here.

Anyway, back to my glitch. Today I got a problem at the 13 mins to go stage. A grey window popped up saying something to the effect that I had used an incorrect parameter. Underneath there were a lot of various switches displayed - one of which I expect must have been the correct parameter. Now, I have to admit, I have no idea just what exactly is going on at the 13 mins to go stage but I suspect it may have something to do with the reg tweaks? I say this only because all the apps appear to be instaling fine post first boot.

The only other modification I have made to the cd recently was to add WNTIPCFG.EXE into the SVC-X2M folder during the XPCREATE phase. Perhaps this could have something to do with it? Anyway, I attach my reg tweaks file in the hope that someone can find something wrong with it.

Thanks in advance.

um...no search??

this has NOTHING to do with your regtweaks. Its one of your Hotfixes. Check your thread in the XPCreate forum.

No attached picture or the exact wording of the error?

Maybe it's the WMP9 /DisallowSystemRestore switch, or what Alanoll said.

i think it's 817778 aka Advanced Networking Pack
