I am not sure if I understandf what you mean, but whatever your answer file is , if it is unattend.txt or what, but if you have created a unattended.bat file, you must use that.

Setup alone dont know that it shall run unattend. txt , if you dont tell it.

Try to start setup with the *.bat file you created....

are you trying to install from Within Windows? if so, svgusta is on the right track. You have to use a switch when calling setup to tell it to use the answer file. The answer file is ONLY automatically used if you boot into the CD.
