April 23, 200422 yr does anybody else have to press the next button one time to get past the first GUI screen in an unattended windows XP build?It is the last command I have to totally automate my install process...Roger
April 23, 200422 yr what first gui screen?i would suggest though that it is a problem in your unattend file (winnt.sif if you have bootable cd installation)have a look at some samples from MSFN Unattended XP or have a quick look at mine... your problem will be under [userData], [unattended] or [GuiUnattended]If you are unsure of what any of the options mean, get the Setup Manager and take a look in the 'unattend.txt' section of "ref.chm" help file!;SetupMgrTag[Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS Repartition=No UnattendSwitch="yes" WaitForReboot="No" OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\001\Chipset;Drivers\002\Video" DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=MUST-HAVE-AN-ADMIN-PASSWORD EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=245 OemSkipWelcome=1 [userData] ProductKey="ENTER-YOUR-VALID-CDKEY-HERE" FullName="Have to type something here" OrgName="Have to type something here" ComputerName=CantLeaveThisBlank [Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=1024 YResolution=768 [TapiLocation] CountryCode=61 Dialing=Tone AreaCode=08 [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 Language=00000c09 [identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=No [NetAdapters] Adapter1=params.Adapter1 [params.Adapter1] INFID=* [NetClients] MS_MSClient=params.MS_MSClient [NetServices] MS_SERVER=params.MS_SERVER [NetProtocols] MS_TCPIP=params.MS_TCPIP [params.MS_TCPIP] DNS=Yes UseDomainNameDevolution=No EnableLMHosts=Yes AdapterSections=params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1 [params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1] SpecificTo=Adapter1 DHCP=Yes WINS=No NetBIOSOptions=0 [Components] msmsgs=off msnexplr=off hearts=off minesweeper=off zonegames=off AccessOpt=off autoupdate=off certsrv=off chat=off deskpaper=off dialer=off fax=off fp_extensions=off hypertrm=off IEAccess=off OEAccess=off WMAccess=off WMPOCM=off media_clips=off media_utopia=off mousepoint=off netoc=off objectpkg=off rec=off reminst=off rstorage=off rootautoupdate=off templates=off TerminalServer=off WSWebClient=off [shell] CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\Corona.theme"

April 24, 200422 yr exactly what screen do you have to press next on?is your cd bootable or do you use floppy disks?are you using modified files?have you tried UnattendMode=DefaultHide ? this shouldn't fix it though!by the way, DetachedProgram executes at the start of GUI mode setup... you can use it along with Arguments to run an SFX extractor for example (instead of using the $OEM$ folder)this code is probably incorrect (guessed) check rar SFX extraction switch![GuiUnattended]DetachedProgram=OEMSFx.exeArguments="-x %systemdrive%"would run "OEMSFx.exe -x %systemdrive%"
April 26, 200422 yr Author That was exactly the problem. Thanks for your helpToo many paramters to watch!Roger
