2 or 3 Problems with unattend.txt

[deadlock]

Hi All,

I'm building an unattended windows XP installation using Bootix Administrator.

There are a few options that are configured in the unattend.txt, but they don't get set properly for some reason which I'm unable to determine.

ProductKey = "12345-12345-12345-12345-12345"

We have a MLA so I use a VLK in the unattend.txt. Above key isn't real of course. Our unattend.txt is built dynamically by the PXE Boot Disk. If I check the C:\TEMP\unattend.txt during the installation (open cmd window with SHIFT-F10, type c:\temp\unattend.txt|more), everything seems to be correct. I've tried al possible types. With quotes, double quotes, without, spaces, no spaces, etc.

The key works when I type it in manually.

The two other problems have to do with this section:

[shell]

CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\Windows Classic.Theme"

DefaultThemesOff=Yes

DefaultStartPanelOff=Yes

None of this is applied after reboot. How is this possible? Because all websites I've seen say that what I'm trying to do is correct.

The install is Windows XP NL Pro VLK SP2 integrated based.

I had the same problem with a Volume License key.

Use ProductID instead of ProductKey.

 ProductID=12345-12345-12345-12345-12345

Not sure why your theme isnt working. Try deleting the DefaultThemesOff line.

Hero! The serial-part is working. I'll just f*ck up the registry for the themes I think in cmdlines.txt.

I got it to work with GPOs pushed out using ZEN

With your themes

[Shell]
CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\Windows Classic.Theme"
DefaultThemesOff=Yes
DefaultStartPanelOff=Yes

try removing

CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\Windows Classic.Theme"

so its

[Shell]
DefaultThemesOff=Yes
DefaultStartPanelOff=Yes

setting default themes off should put classic on by default
