mrpitman27 Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Hi everyone when I try to do an unattended install it flickers the screen on/off a few times and then it brings up the regional settings and to fill in and Name, Organization, etc. Why is it doing this? I've followed the guide and still hasn't worked for me yet. Here is the winnt.sif file. ;SetupMgrTag[Data] AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes"[Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=No TargetPath=\WINDOWS[GuiUnattended] AdminPassword="123456" EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=20 OemSkipWelcome=1[UserData] ProductKey=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX FullName="user" OrgName="Home User" ComputerName=HOME[Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=1024 YResolution=768 Vrefresh=85[Components] AccessOpt = Off msnexplr=off msmsgs=off freecell=off hearts=on minesweeper=on pinball=on solitaire=off spider=off zonegames=off[Shell] DefaultStartPanelOff=Yes DefaultThemeOff=Yes[RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1[Branding] BrandIEUsingUnattended=Yes[URL] Home_Page=http://www.yahoo.com Search_Page=http://www.google.com[Proxy] Proxy_Enable=0 Use_Same_Proxy=1[Identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP[Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=YesCan someone look over this and see what I'm doing wrong if any?

mrpitman27 Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 I am testing it right now after I burn this img again. Also, when writing the application cmds. Do I need to have the RunOnceEx and the cmdlines.txt or jus' one or the other? All I'm wanting to do right now is install Adobe 6 Pro, WinRar 3.30 Corp, Winzip 9.0 Corp, XP Plus, Diskeeper 8.0 Server Edition, and WMP 10. And then down the road insert Office 2K3 Pro into it as well. I know it will all fit on a DVD-R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpitman27 Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 Well when I burned the img and testing in Virtual PC it still brings up the Windows Format Screen and then the EULA. How can I just make it format the whole drive and and lets Windows manage the format totally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrpitman27 Posted July 15, 2004 Author Share Posted July 15, 2004 Well that didn't work. Now it stops at the formatting screen. It looks like yours almost except for all the extra stuff you put in yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel_98a Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 did it put any of the name or organization in at all?wonder if it would do any good to try mine and competely remove urs and to try it that way.do u still have it this way:[Data] AutoPartition = 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpitman27 Posted July 16, 2004 Author Share Posted July 16, 2004 Yes it has my name and org, and yes I changed it back to 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel_98a Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 i send what is happening here, u can have everything input but it won't auto format or u can auto format but not input everything. does that seem right??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpitman27 Posted July 16, 2004 Author Share Posted July 16, 2004 No, it won't input anything. The unattended won't work unless you're right there with it to re-input everything. So it's pointless to do an unattended if it won't allow it to insert everything automatically. If I have to be present during the install it's not an unattended install then. It won't even auto partition, nor input anything I have listed in the script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel_98a Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 it could be a problem w/ vpc, might have to actually try it not in vpc. have u done that at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpitman27 Posted July 16, 2004 Author Share Posted July 16, 2004 What do u mean by VPC? Do u mean convert it to something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hp_spec Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 mrpitman27, I think diesel_98a means that you need to try installing this UXPCD on an actual physical HDD (a real computer) rather than through VPC (Virtual PC). Sincerely, hp_spec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpitman27 Posted July 16, 2004 Author Share Posted July 16, 2004 Well, I haven't tried that yet, but it would pointless to make coasters. I've made three of them already, becasue it's not reading the XPBoot.img. I gives error: CDBOOT: cannot boot from CD - Code 5. I made the cd with CDImage Pro in which places the boot img into the ISO it creates with the ISO Creator for WinXP Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
