Missing vmscsi.sys during WinXP install?

[Wuhtzu]

Hey out there!

Im getting this really anoying error when i try to do my unattended windows install. Ive created a disc which hodls WinXP Pro UK, SP2 and hotfixes. With the first answerfile I created it worked great and installed perfectly. But then i decided to try some more, and then i added some more lines and the $OEM$ folder to the disc...

The error im getting occurs when windows is copying files, here it says that it cant find the file vmscsi.sys. An screendump of the error can bee seen here:

Im using VMware Workstation 5 to test the install. Because of that im using a SCSI driver, which I manually presses F6 to use.

Everything worked perfectly untill i added some extra lines of code, the $OEM$ folder and Ad-Aware for testing the intall of an application.

The answerfile im using is:

;SetupMgrTag

[GuiRunOnce]
    %systemdrive%\windows\resources\install\apps_install.cmd

The new lines of code added since the install worked is:

[Unattended]
    DriverSigningPolicy=ignore
    OemPreinstall=yes
    UnattendSwitch="yes"

[GuiRunOnce]
    %systemdrive%\windows\resources\install\apps_install.cmd

Anyone who could think of an idea to solve the problem?

I'm getting the same problem only with a different driver.

And I believe that F6 will not work if you have OEMPREINSTAL = YES

in your winnt.sif file.

Well... I think thats a good explanation! But when you say that the F6 doesnt work, what do you mean? Because I can press F6 without a problem and select which driver i want to use, but it still makes the error....?

Anyone else who have a suggestion?
