minimal winnt.sif for portuguese XP

[underpressure]

Hi, i'm new here

i want to make a minimal winnt.sif file just for ProductKey, SkipEula and remove windows messenger and msn explorer.

i'm using windows xp (portuguese version) sp2 slipstreamed with nLite.

Can anyone give me a example of the winnt.sif?

Greetings from portugal!

We could, but you could also use the Search button to find one yourself...

Why don't you use nlite to do that for you?

Hi there,

1. Just copy and paste the below into notepad:

;SetupMgrTag
[Data]
    AutoPartition=0
    MsDosInitiated="0"
    UnattendedInstall="Yes"

[Unattended]
    UnattendMode=FullUnattended
    Repartition=No
    FileSystem=*
    OemSkipEula=Yes

[GuiUnattended]
    OemSkipWelcome=1
    OEMSkipRegional=1

[UserData]
    ProductKey=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
    productid="XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX"

[Components]
    msmsgs=off
    WMAccess=off
    msnexplr=off

(this is the minimal set according to what you asked, with values which will ensure that it won't fail)

2. Replace the "XX" characters above, with your actual key.

3. Save it as a plain-text file - name it "winnt.txt".

4. Rename the file to "winnt.sif".

5. Put this file in I386 folder.

That's it. Boot up from the CD, and the things you wanted to be pre-filled will be automatically taken from above. And setup will ask you for the things left un-specified in the above set.

you should change

UnattendMode=FullUnattended

to

UnattendMode=DefaultHide

to avoid error notice in gui setup

No, using fullunattended is the most suited, in this case. "DefaultHide" causes some other problems, LOL.

If you do all 5 steps as above, you won't get any error - it will work exactly in the way "underpressure" wants it to.
