Hey there,

So I was having my own cool custom unattended XP SP1 CD ....

And now I have the SP2 integrated cd, and I wanted to automate it also. Easy said and done... The usual stuff... And tested in VMWare but to my surprise I got a nice error.

It happens just after the setup finished and it's supposed to start for the first time. It looks very critical and there's nothing I can do, plus the settings are usual, same if I format it for FAT32 also.... Check picture attached.

Would anyone have ANY idea what to relate this to ? I have a winnt.sif and some runonceex apps, as I said the usual, stuff that worked with the SP1 cd ( Current SP2 is original, not a homemade slipstream or anything, the CD is fine alone ).

I have got much of a clue, but i guess that you could get that file and place it in the $$\System32 file then if it needs registering then use regsrv to register the file.

Well I was hoping of a way to fix it, not supposed to happen in the first place, and how exactly to use regsrv ?

Possibly a bad CD image.

Used NLite to make the image, and made like 5 different images so far, I would not think that's the problem, and also failing on the nfts.sys

Regsvr is pritty simple

regsvr32 /s %systemroot%\system32\filename

regsvr32 = The command

/s = Slient instal it

%systemroot%\system32\filename = the directory and file name that it is

I guess that you could always re do your disk see if that solves ur problem.

i've got the same problem, Take a look in your $OEM$\$$\system32 or \web ..and so on ...

the problem come from one of this dir not from a config file. Try to delete some nasty file from these directory ... i'm sure the problem is from here.

What do you mean nasty files ? And if I just use the xp cd with winnt.sif from unattended all is fine, problem is as I said when it tries to start windows first time.... with the $OEM$ dir and fully automated stuff....

i got that problem when the boot image file.

er think its msgina.dll (cant remeber)

was replaced with a version from sp1

Breaker:

interesting, but can you be more specific ? We might just solve this problem.

Thankz !

Hey, I have solved the problem !!!

It was due to RegTweaks.reg ... something in it makes it crash. On a solid unattended, without that reg all was fine, until I ran it, fully and the same problem happend.

So I have added my full regtweaks.reg here, and I will test a lot but if anyone can spot anything that should not be here, or is not recommended, ANYTHING, please let me know:

EDIT: so problem is actualy bootlogo.cmd I have....

CLS

@echo off

bootcfg /RAW "/Kernel=OEMKrnl.exe" /A /ID 1

bootcfg /Timeout 0

EXIT

Can it be that the OEMkrnl.exe from SP1 does not work with SP2 ? how to change/edit to make it work ?

sorry mate that what i was trying to say.

the boot logo file, oemkrnl.exe was replaced by a sp1 version

most of the versions on websites are for sp1

so the only way is to customise it yourself from the sp2

krnl

****, so is there a way to edit it so it works ?

you can get programs to edit the file but i couldnt get

the colour depth or the status bar to move :S
