To quote or not to quote


Recommended Posts

I'm just starting out learning about unattended CD installs. I'm not sure where in the winnt.sif the answers I type in (or cut & paste in) should have quotes included. Some from the setupmgr had them - others didn't. Sorry if this has been covered before.

Thanks,

magic

You need to include quotes around strings with spaces and around strings that use environment variables.

Passwords are case-sensitive and must be enclosed in quotes.

This is confusing to me see below some "yes" answers are quoted some are not. Some of the =0's are quoted some are not?

AutoPartition=0

MsDosInitiated="0"

UnattendedInstall="Yes"

AutomaticUpdates=yes

[unattended]

UnattendMode=FullUnattended

OemSkipEula=Yes

OemPreinstall=yes

UnattendSwitch=yes

DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore

TargetPath=\WINDOWS

oemPnPDriversPath=Drivers\000_Broadcom440_Lan;Drivers\001_Promise_RAID

OemSkipEula=Yes

TargetPath=\WINDOWS

I believe that you can't go wrong with putting everything in quotes. Correct me if im wrong :unsure:
wrong :)

I did think so, and I found out its not that way.

The only definite way is to go with what the setupmgr creates for you - just notice where it puts quotes and where it doesn't. And for values that setupmgr won't create, you have ref.chm in deploy.cab.
