Hi everyone,

I understand that the ideal is to have a unattended setup (so that you don't sit near your computer) so why make it look good? Do these custom screens work in a normal setup(attended)?

yep

Yes, as winntbbu.dl_ or winntbbu.dll sits in i386 folder in any case.

If you create multiboot installation disk you can make different Setup BillBoard screens for Pro and Home editions.

so all i have to do to get the billboard setup to work is to put the winntbbu.dll on the i386 folder?

Now, quite frankly....

what does that question have to do with "Attended Setup" and "Setup Billboard Screens"?

Nothing, he put his post just in wrong place...
