Unattended XP build

[rdalling]

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...

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!

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%"
