thanks

running xp?

No windows 2k sp4

what is the error?

Doesn't explorer.exe load on first boot?

I got the same, i solved it like that:

after the setup is done start.cmd is executed via the guirunonce in the winnt.sif,

it contains only three things: the IE6 Setup and the import of RO.reg (to logon automatically and to place a runonce key for a second batch (start2.cmd)) . When its executed, it installs IE6, imports the regkeys (they have to be expanded regkeys if u use variables) and the uses shutd0wn.exe (which i copied from a winxp install to my $oem$\$1\system32 folder to make it work) with the option -f -r -t 3

Next time the PC starts up, the second batch is executed that does the rest, THEN the install works properly with no errors.

start.cmd:

CLS
@echo off
TITLE Windows 2000 SP4 - Unattended Installation

IF EXIST D:\CD.txt set CDROM=D:
IF EXIST E:\CD.txt set CDROM=E:

ECHO.

REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\RO.reg

ECHO.
ECHO Restart
%systemroot%\system32\shutd0wn.exe -f -r -t 3 -c "Dieser Neustart ist sehr wichtig!"

EXIT

start2.cmd:

RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\Install\

EXIT

RO.reg:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]
"Setup2"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,44,00,72,00,69,00,\
  76,00,65,00,25,00,5c,00,69,00,6e,00,73,00,74,00,61,00,6c,00,6c,00,5c,00,73,\

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"AutoAdminLogon"="1"

(the "Setup2"=hex(2):25,00.... is the expanded reg key to make the runkey take the variable %systemdrive%, it means: %systemdrive%\install\start2.cmd)

the other way to make it, would be using Reg.exe, what isn't available in the normal windows 2000, if u want to use that, read about it somewhere in this forum.

thats basically the stuf i did to make it work...
