Hi sneferu,

winnt.sif Looks almost allright, but the section

[GuiRunOnce]
Command0=%systemdrive%\install\batch_file1.cmd

Should look like this i think:

[GuiRunOnce]
    "%systemdrive%\install\batch_file1.cmd"

I think that will solve the problem!

Let me know.

For all those who have replied thanks very much

Maybe you have to specify the localisation of your OEM folder on the CD.

[unattended]

OemFilesPath = "..\$OEM$"

I've read several times that there is a problem with windows copying the $OEM$ folder.

I did'nt think we needed to specify the $oems$ files path as i followed the instructions on the msfn website

I agree, i dont use it either and think it's only needed if you have different locations for the files. (correct me if i'm not wrong)

@sneferu:

Did it work out for you?

I have tried all the solutions mentioned by everyone but still nothing seems to work. Does anyone know if this problem is related to xp sp2 thanks all once again
