X-Ecutioner Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 I'm planning on making a HTA based frontend for my unattended installs to be used within WinPE (or BartPE). This frontend will give u all possible options for a winnt.sif file and output it to a certain location. then the finish button will execute the installation with teh unattend file as a parameter, My question is...has anyone had problems with running HTA files in PE?? and also, if I put the winnt.sif file onto the ramdrive, will setup be able to use it??
mbouchard Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 I use HTA's for essentially the same thing. I prompt the tech for some information, which I then pass to a VBscript which then Diskparts/formats the HD and then writes the unattend.txt and other files to the HD. I have not had any issues with this procedure running under PE.Mike
likuidkewl Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 If you use a %variable% in your in your winnt.sif you will have issues in PE. Setup will tell you that you have a invalid script or something along those lines, my way aroud this, granted I didn't really look into it, was to run a batch file that ran after diskpart to copy the needed bathc files to a folder in the C:\drive and then hardcoded them into the Winnt.sifHTH
