Hi All,

I'm trying to create an unattended install for windows 2000. So far i can use all of the documentations i've found on this site. Now i stumble on one problem: Installing IE 6.1. In windows XP it's allocated in SP2 i think.

Now i want to do an unattended install of IE 6.1 in 2k. 2 things go wrong:

- If i create one with the complete IE set of files downloaded i can use the /q option, but then it only extracts files and it reboots at the end

- if i create a set with iexpress then i need to check all the options, so eventually i don't have an unattended install.

Can someone help me with the correct switches so i can install IE 6.1 without reboot and without interaction? I know you're all crack's in XP but i hope you can help me further with 2k?!

Hi Ge-Flopt, of course we'll help with win2k as well!

Use the "/Q:A /R:N" switch, instead of just "/q" alone. That should solve your problem, I think?

Otherwise, if you find it a bit difficult to do it manually, you could use the XPCREATE section, which has a program called 2KCREATE, which will make it all automatically.

Do post back, on how it goes, or for any other problems.

Thank you... Thank god there is vm ware and VNC, so i test it from my girl-friends place

Heres whats working for me currently:

ie6setup.exe /q /r:n

Hmm got it working with /q:a and /r:n only for some reason it doesn't install drmclien.dll didn't get copied. Fixed this with a pre patch that copies that file and now everything works... on to the next app

Hmmm eventualy it doesn't work I'm going to test it on a real pc but it starts giving error messages about stream.sys, mpe.sys etc.

Going to test it on a real pc!!

Tested on a live system but it doen't work:

it starts popping up error messages:

mskssrv.sys

stream.sys

mpe.sys

streamip.sys

slip.sys

ccdecode.sys

nabtsfec.sys

he can't find and at the end he needs to reboot

Anyone an idea?

A little kick to bring it under attantion... anyone?

Maybe one of the CAB files that install IE are damaged. Try re-downloading?

Thanks for the tip, but i soubt if it works: I did a full download allready and, tested also with a download during the install...

Never mind... I think i'm going to try WXP.... Thanks for the help... I'll be back, to keep you busy
