Check if my winnt.sif is proper

**Stalix** · September 14, 2004

I didnt even know about an unattened winxp cd untill 2 days ago. I was soo thrilled, i thought finally, no more clicking next,next,next...

well I had a WinXP Pro Corp slipstreamed SP1 CD, Itook that and I slipstreamed SP2 using AutoStreamer. Then I used nLite to free up some space put some need appz on ther like Photoshop CS, Sound Forge 7, WinRAR, K-Lite mega codec pack... and some more misc apps.

I just had a few questions like where do you put that reg file to make it run the first time you logon, i couldnt find a place where it explaines where to put it and how to make it run.

and i wanted you pros to check my WINNT.SIF file to make sure I di everything right, here it is.

and please tell me anything else I am forgeting or something else i need to do to make it completley unattended.

1. Don't join and demand people do your work for you. At least introduce yourself first.

2. The guide is pretty simple.

3. Download Virtual PC, and test it out

**Stalix** · September 14, 2004

Sorry if i seemed mean it wasnt my intension. I just wanted you more experinced people to check my winnt file but if you dont wanna fine!

**buletov** · September 14, 2004

hello,

I think everything is OK, good luck.

**Elgreen** · September 26, 2004

Could someone tell me why this part of the code in winnt.sif doesn't work for me ?

[Components]

msmsgs=off

msnexplr=off

freecell=off

hearts=off

minesweeper=off

pinball=off

solitaire=off

spider=off

zonegames=off

I have it in my winnt.sif and I always get pinball, soliteire etc. installed -- why ?

**prathapml** · September 26, 2004

Some of the threads here had got their winnt.sif problems solved when they changed the position of the relevant section. So maybe a try could be given to that?

This is the order in which I have mine:

;SetupMgrTag
[Data]
[Unattended]
[GuiUnattended]
[UserData]
[Display]
[TapiLocation]
[RegionalSettings]
[Branding]
[URL]
[Identification]
[Networking]
[Components]
[SetupParams]
[Shell]
[GuiRunOnce]

It seems that (for example) having the [Components] block before the Identification block would leave [components] unprocessed.

Do tell us on how it works out.

**Elgreen** · September 27, 2004

I moved the [Components] to other place, and still it doesnt work...

Maybe there's sth wrong with my winnt.sif???:

;SetupMgrTag

[Branding]
    BrandIEUsingUnattended=Yes

[Proxy]
    Proxy_Enable=0
    Use_Same_Proxy=0

[GuiRunOnce]
    %systemdrive%\Temp\Install\komendy.cmd

Maybe it's all about the UnattendedInstall = Yes syntax which I dont have ??

"The value must always be set to Yes if you preinstall Windows by using the CD Boot method. " - Im not sure what it means.

edited out to remove product key!

@Elgreen

;this one doesn;t work
[Components]msnexplr=off
pinball=0
freecell=off
hearts=off
minesweeper=0
solitaire=off
spider=off
zonegames=off

Try this instead.

[Components]
   msnexplr=off
   pinball=off
   freecell=off
   hearts=off
   minesweeper=off
   solitaire=off
   spider=off
   zonegames=off

**SiMoNsAyS** · September 27, 2004

my section looks like this and works...

[Components]
    accessopt=off
;    autoupdate=off
    calc=off
    fax=off
    msmsgs=off
    msnexplr=off
    moviemk=off
;    freecell=off
;    hearts=off
;    minesweeper=off
;    pinball=off
;    solitaire=off
;    spider=off
    zonegames=off
    hypertrm=off
    chat=off
    dialer=off
    mplay=Off
;    wmaccess=Off
;    wmpocm=Off

...note that the ";" before the line disables that line.

@Elgreen

Do not post your key, it could lead to your licensed key being invalidated/blocked!

**Elgreen** · September 28, 2004

That's not my key.

It's a key which already was in the winnt.sif(unattended.txt) after integrating service pack2 pl. !!!!!!!

And it works !!! ???? (maybe this is a some sort of provocation from M$ ?? )

Hey - mayby this is why [components] section doesn't work (i'll check that )

This leads to my further question : in SP1 I had an entry "ProductID=xxxx-xxxx...."

in SP2 it has to be changed to "ProductKey=xxxx-xxxx...." ? wright ?
