Aaragon Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Hey all,Im trying to figure out why my unattended install wont fully load. It does the preinstall stuff fine (copyng files, start menu, saving settings etc.) but after the first reboot things go bad. I can get as far as the "Welcome to Windows" splash screen but then it reboots and wont actually load windows. It doesnt give any error messages or any cluse as to whats going on Heres my winnt.sif file:;SetupMgrTag[Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes"[Unattended] FileSystem=* OemPreinstall=Yes UnattendSwitch="yes" UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword="XXXXX" EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=4 OemSkipWelcome=1[UserData] ProductKey=* FullName="Aaragon" OrgName="Zeti Prime" ComputerName=Mainframe[Display] Xresolution=1280 YResolution=1024 Vrefresh=72[TapiLocation] CountryCode=1[RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 Language=00000409[Branding] BrandIEUsingUnattended=Yes[URL] Home_Page=http://www.ewnet.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php[Proxy] Proxy_Enable=0 Use_Same_Proxy=1[Identification] JoinWorkgroup=Alaska[Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes[Components] msnexplr=offPerhaps Im missing an entry or maybe I have conflicting entries....I dont know.

[BM]Crusher Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 a few of your programs won't install correctly because there are two lots of /V 1 instead of one /V 1 and one /V 2 (the ones with two commands, have to be a 1 and a 2 obviously, you are just overwriting the first value with the second, example: Acrobat Pro 6, O&O Defrag etc etc)if it was rebooting because of one of your app installs, it would have ot be one of the first ones on the list... have you tested the silent install methods through windows yet? (on a running machine obviously) as in, run the silent install command from a dos prompt and see if it installs correctly and doesn't reboot the machineIn [GuiUnattended] you should addAutoAdminLogon=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaragon Posted May 31, 2004 Author Share Posted May 31, 2004 Thanks for your help [bM]Crusher, guess I didnt totally understand the /V1 /V2 commands. Makes perfect sense now however As far as not being able to get into windows, I rearranged the order of some of my [unattended] and [GuiUnattended] input values as well as adding your suggestion and now Windows loads right up.
