Very strange error perhaps with Virtual PC

[CrimsonKain]

Ok so I have this ISO C:\WXPFPP_EN.ISO that I created.

I load it with Daemon Tools and go check the winnt.sif

In the [unattended] section I see OemPreinstall=Yes. Good.

Now I tell Virtual PC 2004 to load the same image. I check my winnt.sif and it says OemPreinstall=No. So I double checked my files on my hard drive and remade the image and did the whole scenario again and...same thing!

So now I'm just really, really confused.

Has this happened to anyone else before???

Double check you're modifying the right file, and making the ISO from the place you think you are.

I have two folders XP_UN_SP2 and XP_SP2_UN and I get them missed up alot.

Yeah I've double and triple checked a few times now. It seems like Virtual PC is capturing some sort of cache of the image (because at one point OEM was set to no).

Instead of mounting the image with Virtual PC I mounted the virtual drive Daemon created and it recognizes the difference.

I have a feeling that if I restarted my computer things would be working ok but I have a few important downloads going right now.

Ah well problem solved one way or the other. Thanks though.

On the Virtual PC controls- Select CD - Release Image each time you change the CD.
