It will be effective only if booted from cd... (or you can see what switches to use if you don't boot.... run "i386\winnt32 /?")

Be sure to save it as winnt.sif, not winnt.sif.txt

(i don't mean that you're stupid it's just sometimes people don't see that extension if they have hidden extensions)

so if i just wanted adaware i would put

ECHO.

ECHO Installing Lavasoft Ad-Aware 6 Build 181

ECHO Please wait...

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\AdAware\aaw6181.exe /s

and save as winnt.sif

@cullend11, it seems that you don't understand the basics...go and read it from the scratch.

The part where you said "$OEM$ file" blew my will to help...sorry but you made too much mistakes, read the guide carefully and come back.

winnt.sif can't be used like that
