Bypass "Welcome to Microsoft Windows", etc.

[exrcizn]

I'm having trouble finding info on bypassing two things in the XP setup. The "Welcome to Microsoft Windows" screen and the "Who will use this Computer" (user setup) screen. Can someone offer help with this?

Thanks!

Thanks buletov, that took care of it!!

I now have a new problem however I haven't researched it yet. I'm now getting a Windows XP Setup Wizard screen where I have to click next to get it to continue. This has never appeared before.

If I find a fix I'll post it however if anyone knows right off what the fix it please jump in. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

My apologies Buletov, tell me what you mean...

take a screencapture and post it, is what he meant. lol.

I'm guessing you're talking about the VERY FIRST screen in the GUI part of Setup? do you have OEMSKIPWELCOME in your WINNT.SIF file?

UnattendSwitch="Yes"

LOL! I thought that's what that meant but didn't want to assume!

I got it to work with the OEMSkipWelcome=1 entry in the winnt.sif.

Thanks so much for your help. Got my first unattend CD! Woohoo!
