Curious problem.

[Screwz Luse]

So, I was working on a Windows 2003 unattended DVD, when I ran into a problem. It looks like before installation, the files in $1 are copied over but my commands in the cmdlines.txt aren't being executed. Here's my cmdlines.txt file:

[COMMANDS]
"rundll32 setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 .\setup.inf"
".\Registry.cmd"

Here's my winnt.sif:

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

[Unattended]
    UnattendMode=FullUnattended
    UnattendSwitch="Yes"
    OemSkipEula=Yes
    OemPreinstall=Yes
    WaitForReboot = No
    TargetPath=\WINDOWS
    DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore
    NonDriverSigningPolicy = Ignore
    OemPnPDriversPath="REMOVED FOR H-SCROLLNESS"

[GuiUnattended]
    EncryptedAdminPassword = No
	AdminPassword = "none"
	AutoLogon = YES
	AutoLogonCount = 1
	TimeZone = 035
	OEMSkipRegional = 1
	OemSkipWelcome = 1

	DefaultStartPanelOff = Yes

[RegionalSettings]
    LanguageGroup=1
    Language=00000409

[Identification]
    JoinWorkgroup=HOME

[Networking]
    InstallDefaultComponents=Yes

(I also tried commenting out UnattendSwitch="Yes" due to something mentioned in the old unattended guide that I dug up)

Any thoughts why it wouldn't execute my setup.inf or registry.cmd files? I just can't figure it out. It's probably something stupid that I didn't do.

(BTW: I used almost the same $OEM$ folder and winnt.sif file that I used with a working XP Unattended installation)

These files are located in the directory as commands.txt?

The Directory structure and such look like

root

--$OEM$

----cmdlinest.txt

----setup.inf

----Registry.cmd

----$1

----$$

You should remove the

.\

because the files are in the same directory!

but .\ should still have the same effect as it gets the path of the working directory which at CMDLINES.TXT is $OEM$. But do try without .\ as Bashrat suggests.
