Hey guys...

yesterday i read a tutorial for creating an unattended installation CD für Windows XP. I did everything described in tutorial. When i executed the XPCREATE.CMD the following message appears:

Error: "8.3 File name support not enabled."

Press Enter to Exit

What is wrong?

Here my XPCREATE.INI:

[XPCREATE]

BOOTIMGFILE=C:\temp\xpbootimage\xpbootimage.bin

COPYSOURCE=YES

Welcome to MSFN, [VII] !

Somehow, most likely through a registry setting, you have disabled 8.3 file name creation. This is often done to "speed up" disk access. However, XPCREATE needs it. I forget the registry setting, but it is something that YOU have done, as Windows allows 8.3 file name creation by default.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem

NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation

This should be set to 0.

Thanks, homiebrah, for pointing out that registry setting.
