SibTiger Posted May 8, 2004 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devil270975 Posted May 8, 2004 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SibTiger Posted May 11, 2004 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKE515 Posted May 12, 2004 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
