Dear to everybody and excuse me for my bad english, but i'm italian :hello:

I've a trouble of this type: i do an unattend file for an automatic installation of windows xp pro sp1. But when I lunch "unattend client01" from a client windows 98 i received an error of this type:

"Script file specified (C:\Windows\Winnt32\unattend.txt) inaccessible or invalid." :no:

I attached unattend.txt what's wrong? Thanks!

Hi, and welcome to MSFN.

Maybe the command is running from a different location, and the unattend.txt at a different location. But to know what is going on, it would be helpful for us to know what exactly this command does:

unattend client01
Is it a batch-file? where is it placed? Is the install-source on hard-disk or on CD?

Or do you mean to say you run the below?

winnt.exe /unattend client01

We need some more details here. :)

Thank a lot for your response ;)

unattend client01 is a batch file. Unattend.bat is a bat file located in a shared folder on my hard disk.

Shared folder is named winxpdist located in c:\.

In this folder there is 3 files unattend.bat, unattend.txt and unattend.udb

Unattend.udb have the list of computer, while unattend.bat call unattend.txt for an unattended installation. In this folder there is also the folder i386 made by setupmgr.

I hope this is useful... I hope!!!!!!

OK, work-arounds... don't we love it when it has to be done... :P

You could use this set of values in winnt.sif and have RunOnce commands in that batch file

[SetupParams]
  optionaldirs="I386\function"
  userexecute="CMD.exe /C %systemroot%\I386\function\setupp.cmd"

The above will run at T-9. "function" is a folder placed inside "I386" install-source. It will get copied to HDD as above.
