Hi,

Try removing the spaces;

msnexplr= off

Becomes;

Just put a space after msnexplr the entry should be (msnexplr = off).

The items list (in mine winnt.sif) is below:

[Components]

accessopt = off

calc = off

charmap = off

Clipbook = off

deskpaper = off

dialer = off

freecell = off

heart = off

i have the same as pawan and works a treat.

**faisalt** · August 3, 2005

It didn't work for me. I have exactly the same format. I only have 3 components listed, do you think that might be the problem. Is there any other components that needs to be turned off.

Is your unattended setup is working (like windows key, resolution, partition etc.)?

**eirogge** · August 4, 2005

make sure you have

OemPreinstall=Yes

UnattendSwitch=Yes

set in the [unattended] section.

and be aware that OEAccess=No just disables all visible entries to Outlook Express in Start Menu, Quick Launch and so an, but does not disable the installation of it.

**faisalt** · August 4, 2005

I have configured so it prompts me for partition size, computer name, and admin password. Windows keys are being pulled from the winnt.sif file. I have the display section in my answer file, but it doesn't seem like it is getting that information. As i have to change the display to 1024*768. Thanks...

I am going to try your suggestion. I will disable outlook express from group policy as well. I just like to disable all visible entries to outlook express.

OemPreinstall=Yes
UnattendSwitch=Yes

Attached is mine winnt.sif, check all the entry or simply replace with your key & name.

I have exactly the same problem. All settings are applied correctly, except for the entries in [Components] and TimeZone. Has someone found a solution to this problem?

The only thing i can suggest is you try changing

UnattendMode to FullUnattended in stead of ProvideDefault..

But i could be totally wrong...
