Hi

I know my request makes a mockery of unattended, but i want the Welcome to windows bit to appear, at the end of the installation, and just before the desktop,

Please can some one tell me what answers i have given that are stopping this from happening.

Thanks for any help on this.

i think it should be

OemSkipWelcome=1

Oemskipwelcome is not the answer

Hi

I didnt think it was, but what is

Thanks

You have to set OemPreinstall=Yes for OemSkipWelcome=0 to work.

Hi

Getting a bit confused now, what do i have to do to enable the Lets spend a few minutes etc....

Thanks

Hi

Below is the winnt.sif i am using, and according to the info on this page

http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/reference.htm#guirunonce

The OOBE should appear at the end of installation, but it doesn't.

Can somebody help please.

The disk i am using includes SP2

Its ironic that when i first learnt how to do an Unattended, it took me ages to find out how to get rid of the OOBE, now i want it back i cant get it.

Hi

Thanks for your help gunsmokingman.

Seeing how i am unable to sort this out, using a XP-SP2 iso.

Have gone back to basics, i have created a XP-SP1 iso, and used this winnt.sif file created using nLite, and still i do not get the OOBE section at the end of installation.

Can anybody else help please

see what happens when you leave nLite out of the process all together.

use the default unattend.txt (winnt.sif) maker included in the SP2 deployment tools (Support\Tools\deploy.cab). It's called setupmgr.exe. Use it instead.

And once more, DON'T USE NLITE. Eliminate ALL the variables.

Hi

Thanks for the reply.

I have already tried the default unattend.txt ( see first post)

I have tried lots of different answers, but still i dont get the OOBE.

Could you check out my first post, and see what you think is wrong.

Thanks

Hi

I have just created another winnt.sif file (using setup manager) and made another iso, and still the OOBE does not appear.

If the UnattendSwitch is not entered, shouldnt the default kick in, and the OOBE appear.

I have tried it with it, without it, =Yes, =No, none of it makes a difference, the thing does not appear.

This is as bad as when i first learnt how to do an unattended, then i couldnt get rid of the thing, now i want it back, it wont appear.

I know the little ******* is there somewhere!

HELP!

did you recreate the ISO complete without the use of nLite and not adding ANYTHING besides the answer file?

and because I'm sick of it, USE CODE TAGS WHEN POSTING CODE!
