SibTiger Posted May 8, 2004 Posted May 8, 2004 I know I must be missing something obvious. I want to run an unattended install from my hard drive. From the command line, I type:"d:\winsetup\i386\winnt32.exe" /unattend:d:\winsetup\i386\winnt.sif /s:d:\winsetup\i386But I keep getting the error message: "The specified Setup script file (d:\winsetup\i386\winnt.sif) is inaccessible or invalid. Contact your system administrator."Here's what winnt.sif looks like:;SetupMgrTag[Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes"[unattended] UnattendMode=DefaultHide UnattendSwitch=Yes OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes DisableDynamicUpdates=Yes Hibernation=1 TargetPath=\WINDOWS WaitForReboot=No Repartition=No[GuiUnattended] AdminPassword="XXXX" EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=0 OemSkipWelcome=1[userData] FullName="" OrgName="" ComputerName=Computer1 ProductKey=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX ProductID=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX[Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=1024 YResolution=768 Vrefresh=60[RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=5,1[identification] JoinWorkgroup=MSHOME[Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes Home_Page=http://www.google.com[Components] msnexplr=off msmsgs=off[branding] BrandIEUsingUnattended=Yes[Proxy] Proxy_Enable=0 Use_Same_Proxy=0Anyone know what the problem is?Thanks!-Mike
devil270975 Posted May 8, 2004 Posted May 8, 2004 make sure it is not read only or try renaming it to unattend.txt winnt.sif is for cd install only i think
SibTiger Posted May 11, 2004 Author Posted May 11, 2004 I don't know what I'm doing wrong... I can't get rid of the error message. Is it because I'm trying to start it from the within XP? I have my Windows install directory on drive D:, and I'm trying to run the unattended setup after Windows XP has booted. Would that give such an error message?-Mike
IKE515 Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 I had the same problem. I failed to take off the [GuiRunOnce]. But that isn't listed on your Winnt.sif.
