Can't install unattended from HD


Recommended Posts

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\i386

But 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

    msmsgs=off

[branding]

    BrandIEUsingUnattended=Yes

[Proxy]

    Use_Same_Proxy=0

Anyone know what the problem is?

Thanks!

:) 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?
