briandugas Posted January 12, 2005 Posted January 12, 2005 Ok, I read all the guides here, but I'm having a problem. I slipstreamed SP2 into my WinXP Pro. Most of the installation is automated, like inputting the key, region, and other stuff. But it keeps stopping at the Welcome screen, and makes me click "Next" a bunch of time while that music plays in the background.I fixed my winnt.sif file to include AutomaticUpdates=yes in the [unattended] portion, and I also included the firewall section as well, mentioned at this website. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks.Brian
Alanoll Posted January 12, 2005 Posted January 12, 2005 UnattendSwitch=YESShould be added to GUIUnattend i think, or Unattend one of them. OEMSkipWelcome is working, it's just doing something other then what YOU thing it's doing. (It's skipping the INITIAL welcome screen during SETUP, you're past there)
briandugas Posted January 13, 2005 Author Posted January 13, 2005 That did it. Thanks. I remember that line, I don't know how it got removed. Too much copying and pasting. :-)
C00l_IcE Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 I tried the UnattendSwitch=YES in both GUIUnattend and Unattend and i still get those logon screens showing up.Suggestions?
Cartoonite Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 Please be more specific, C00l_IcE. Which screens are you getting? Maybe you could also post your answer file so that we can take a look?
Alanoll Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 I tried the UnattendSwitch=YES in both GUIUnattend and Unattend and i still get those logon screens showing up.Suggestions?are you refering to the LOGON screen, or the USER CREATION screen? there is a difference.
C00l_IcE Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 The screen where u get to configure your internet connection and user. just after the XP logo animation. Music is playing while hoing through those screens.Here is my sif filewinnt.sif
Cartoonite Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 Still a little confused here. Are you talking about the screen where you have to input a user name for one or more users? (I believe the screen has a set of boxes to input names for up to 5 or 6 users, with the first one being labeled "Your Name.")
C00l_IcE Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 hehe, It's the screens where u have to configure the auto updates, internet connection settings, and microsoft registration right before the Welcome screen....
Cartoonite Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 *Hangs head in shame.*I think I'm going to have to go do a manual install of XP. It's been so long that I'm clueless. Or maybe you will take pity on me and can post a screenshot or two?
C00l_IcE Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 I'll have to redo a setup with Virtual PC. i'll do that later on. Can't right now
Alanoll Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattend OemSkipEula=yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS DisableDynamicUpdates=Yes Repartition=NO UnattendSwitch=No WaitForReboot=No Hibernation=No AutoActivate=Yes UnattendSwitch=YesYou have both YES and NO for UnattendSwitch, pick one. Remove the other. (hint, you want the YES)
C00l_IcE Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 UnattendSwitch=NoThat was my mistake. Thanks for your help guys!
Cartoonite Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 Dammit. Now I will never figure out what screen he was talking about!*Sighs.*
