Windows Welcome wont Go away!

[GDragoN]

Hi,

I have read all about this on the forum, but none of the solutions work. My install is totally unattended, except this part. I get Windows Welcome. I create user here and then windows logs in that user, and execute start.bat. Here is Gui part of Winnt.sif:

[GuiUnattended]
    TimeZone=95
    AdminPassword=*
    EncryptedAdminPassword=NO
    OEMSkipRegional=1
    OEMSkipWelcome=1

And I have useraccount cmdlines.txt:

net user "The Unbeliever" /add
net localgroup Administrators "The Unbeliever" /add
net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited
REGEDIT /S autologon.reg
EXIT

and reg file for it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DefaultUserName"="The Unbeliever"
"DefaultPassword"=""
"AutoAdminLogon"="1"

I have modified installation with nLite, but I didn't use nLite unattended options.

Where is the problem with installation?

Its recommended to read the official guide here - http://unattended.msfn.org

from head to toe, since that is the base on which the unattended forum builds upon. Simple things already mentioned in the guide, will not be again found in the forums.

As for this topic:

This is what you need to be present in your winnt.sif:

[Unattended]
UnattendSwitch="yes"

quoting from http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/reference.htm

UnattendSwitch="yes"

Specifies whether Setup skips Windows Welcome or Mini-Setup when preinstalling Windows XP Home Edition or Windows XP Professional using the CD Boot method. Set this to yes to skip the "Setting Up Internet Connection" and "Create User Accounts" screens.

Yeah! It works. Thanx.
