n2it Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 I made a Windows 2000 unattended cd and it has sp4 integrated into it.... The install works great, but I have a problem with Internet Explorer.... Here is what happens. When I go and do the critical updates, IE 6.1 is the first thing that installs, after the reboot I get and explorer.exe error and it reboots. Once it reboots, the computer(s) install IE6 and I can do all the other critical updates... If you open up IE and goto "Help" and "About Interner Explorer" it shows the IE 5 logo and gives me an error and I cannot type in text on any searchbar such as google..... Now, I made an unattended Windows 2000 w/sp2 cd and when you do the critical updates, it wants to install IE 6.1 BEFORE sp/4... If I do this method, everything works fine without any errors and it shows the Internet Explorer 6 logo under "About Internet Explorer".So my question is this, is there a way to create an unattended Windows 200 cd w/sp4 that already has IE 6.1 installed and will not give errors...?I imagine that I could use a Windows 2000 w/sp4 cd and make it unattended, but I would have to go out and buy it...! lolThanks,Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tguy Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Here is how I do it. I created a custom Win2K CD with SP4 slipstreamed into to the source files.Using the $OEM$ method discussed at http://unattended.msfn.org I incorporated IE6 SP1. I launch the setup out of my cmdlines.txt file with the following syntax:"C:\WINAPPS\IE6\IE6SETUP.EXE /Q /R:N"/Q installs quietly/R:N suppresses the rebootThis completes before Windows loads the GUI for the first time and has not given me any problems.Hope this helps.tguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incroyable HULK Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I confirm, I do it almost the same way and I get no problems B) I call a batch file from cmdline.txt so I can use variables like %systemdrive% instead of a fixed drive letter (like C:\ in the previous example)Good Luck!
