Network unattended missing ASMS file

[flekso]

1) I'm trying to setup a small LAN using unattended. I'm currently testing with VMware, ran into problem at T-39(start of GUI setup) with the message "the file 'asms' on the xp cd is needed..." .

The problem can be 'solved' by xcopying the asms folder to the root of the destination drive afterwards, but that beats the purpose of unattended setup.

Any clues ?

2) Also, why does some entries in unattend.txt have quotes around them and some don't, like MsDosInitiated=0 or MsDosInitiated="0", is it ok to go without quotes ?

3) Can someone please check my unattend.txt for the reason of failed copy of $oem$ folder ?

Delete your product key from your post!!!

Try changing MsDosInitiated to = Yes instead of 0

@ flekso - your Product Key is a well googled Pirate Key. I suggest you post requests when you are using a genuine copy of XP...
