Error concerning directory structure

Featured Replies

Hello people,

I read the guide on unattended.msfn.org and after I read 3 more ones, cos the guide left some black holes in my mind.

Unlucky, after doing of my best to configure erverything properly, I'm experiencing an error after the first reboot, the one that comes before the real installation process comes, after it has copied all the needed stuff from the CD-ROM.

The error window is the following:

errore3bs.th.jpg

Since that's an Italian sysgen and prolly most of you are American, this is the translation:

"An error that forbids the installation to go on occured. The internal sygen program data structures are damaged. Click ok to view the log."

The log isn't much helpful as it says the same.

I placed the hotfixes into the \I386\SVCPACK directory, the applications in \$OEM\$1\applications and the drivers in \$OEM\$1\drivers

I set the value of OemPreinstall on yes (OemPreinstall=Yes).

For better help these are the configiuration files and the shell scripts that I'm using.

This is the winnt.sif

Thx in advance for help and I apologize for my bad English whether I made some mistakes, but I'm Italian. :D


It's a bug in the MSFN guide. It should be:

---winnt.sif------------

;SetupMgrTag

[Data]Autopartition=0

MsDosInitiated="0"

I don't see anywhere in the guide where it has that option stated wrong. Though I'd be glad if you pointed it out.

Now I have some minor problems:

-I have a windows asking me where I want the files to be extracted and of course I want to make it stealth, by default the path is \system32\inetsrv\;

-Directx 9.0c syntax error when intalling (I used dxsetup.exe /SILENT as I read somewhere here).

is DXSETUP.EXE the file you got after extracting the DirectX redistributable?

And I'm guessing QCHAIN.EXE is causing the problem. Run the file in your current installing and select a temp path. Go to that folder, and inside there is the REAL QCHAIN.EXE you should use.

I forgot to extract the DirectX cabinet file into a directory under \$OEM$\applications.

Now I guess it should work.

Is qchain responsable for the system32\inetsrv issue?

Not entirely sure what issue you're refering to.

@Nazgul

And that's why you don't use software that's almost two years old :P
