briandugas Posted January 12, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted January 12, 2005 Share 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briandugas Posted January 13, 2005 Author Share 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. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cartoonite Posted January 16, 2005 Share 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.") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C00l_IcE Posted January 16, 2005 Share 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cartoonite Posted January 16, 2005 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
