Unattended Setup Problem

[Wonkster]

Hi everyone, what a fantastic forum !!

I am in the process of making my own Unattended install of XP and at the moment I have done the SP2 slipstream, Hotfixes and Apps etc; with great success thanks to MSFN and this forum. The build has been very successfull apart from one little niggle - At T-39 to T-37 I get a setup wizard appear and until I click the OK button it hangs at that point. After I click it the install continues successfully until completetion. Clicking the OK button on the wizard doesn't appear to invoke anything.

Can anyone help me with this niggle.

Maby it helps if we can see your files: (winnt.sif, cmdlines and the rest that could be involved)

dont forget to remove any info regarding serial numbers and passwords etc.

I am having the same issue and it is very fruuuustrating to have it pop up and not continue. I have tried and looked at several different styles of [unattended] commands and found no resolve. I am surprised to see you using 'UnattendMode=FullUnattended' and still seeing that failure point. I wish I could help out more. Here is what I am using with the same problem.

 [Unattended]

    UnattendMode=DefaultHide
    UnattendSwitch=Yes
    OemSkipEula=Yes
    OemPreinstall=Yes
    WaitForReboot = No
    NoWaitAfterTextMode = 1
    NoWaitAfterGUIMode = 1
    TargetPath=\WINDOWS
    Repartion=Yes
    AutoActivate=YES
    DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
    OemPnPDriversPath="drivers\"

[Wonkster]

UnattendMode=FullUnattended seems to be correct as I found what was causing my problem - I just needed to add the following...

Under [GuiUnattended]

Oemskipwelcome=1

Since adding that entry my unattended setup runs without stopping at that annoying Setup Wizard.

Hopes this helps

Wow, I have not seen that before. Thanxs
