arkady187 Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Hmmm another question I hope someone can answer for me. During an unattended installation it gets to the point were it says registering files and then pops up with a messaging sayings "choose directory for extracted files". I believe this is suppose to be answered from winnt.sif under target path. On that line I have targetpath="\winnt". When the popup comes up it defaults to c:\winnt but I still have to say ok. Am I in the right area or do I need to be looking somewhere else?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jito463 Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Try putting \WINNT in " ". In your first post, you had it with " " around it, so I figured you had it that way in your winnt.sif, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkady187 Posted October 14, 2004 Author Share Posted October 14, 2004 Gonna try that right now. I had the quotes around there from before because I was trying to figure it out myself before asking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkady187 Posted October 14, 2004 Author Share Posted October 14, 2004 Nope didn't work.... got to the same screen "performing final tasks" --> registers components and comes up with Choose Directory for Extracted files. Darn the luck Your continued help is appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkady187 Posted October 16, 2004 Author Share Posted October 16, 2004 Still hoping someone could figure out why.Just a repeat on the problem. Prompt pops up while setup is registering components and says Choose directory for extracted files. Much appreciate to whoever replies.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdoe Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Do you have something in $OEM$\CMDLINES.TXTIt looks like an application want you to choose a directory for extracting files before installation (no silent switch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkady187 Posted October 16, 2004 Author Share Posted October 16, 2004 I don't believe I have anything in there. I will have to check on monday. What components are registered during that part of installation.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arkady187 Posted October 19, 2004 Author Share Posted October 19, 2004 Actually I don't have a cmdline at all. I tried changing the hotfixes to see if something in there was getting extracted and that wasn't it. I have no drivers. Only two applications are installed during unattended but of course thats in guirunonce. Also attempted to redo the entire thing from scratch and still got the popup during install.Stupid thing!

arkady187 Posted October 19, 2004 Author Share Posted October 19, 2004 I would just like to say thank you to jito and jdoe. Jito for being the first to respond and jdoe for giving me the info that something was trying to actually extract it self and didn't have anything to do with the regular windows installation. I found out one of my hotfixes didn't have the necessary switches to completely install silently. So thanks again!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilvoice Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 if you have the qchain hotfix being installed during svcpack.inf, then thats your problem, you need to extract qchain.exe and just add it to the bottom of your svcpack.inf...it asks you to choose directory, and somewhere it says inetsrv...you just need to find the qchain hotfix number, as I dont know it off the top of my head.
