pawan Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Just put a space after msnexplr the entry should be (msnexplr = off). The items list (in mine winnt.sif) is below:[Components]accessopt = offcalc = offcharmap = offClipbook = offdeskpaper = offdialer = offfreecell = offheart = offhypertrm = offmedia_clips = offmedia_utopia = offminesweeper = offmousepoint = offmplay = offmsnexplr = offmswordpad = offnetoc = offobjectpkg = offpaint = offpinball = offrec = offsolitaire = offspider = offtemplates = offvol = offWbemCrrl = offWbemFwrd = offWMAccess = offzonegames = off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faisalt Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted 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.i have the same as pawan and works a treat.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawan Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Is your unattended setup is working (like windows key, resolution, partition etc.)?Pawan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eirogge Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 make sure you haveOemPreinstall=YesUnattendSwitch=Yesset 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 Posted August 4, 2005 Author Share Posted 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.

TnT Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 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?;SetupMgrTag[Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated=0 UnattendedInstall=Yes[Unattended] UnattendMode=ProvideDefault FileSystem=* OemPreinstall=Yes OemSkipEula=Yes WaitForReboot=No UnattendSwitch=Yes [GuiUnattended] OEMSkipRegional=0 OEMSkipWelcome=1 TimeZone=105[UserData] ProductKey=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX FullName="" OrgName=""[Identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP[Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes[Components] msmsgs=off msnexplr=off[Shell] DefaultThemesOff=Yes DefaultStartPanelOff=Yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreK Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 The only thing i can suggest is you try changing UnattendMode to FullUnattended in stead of ProvideDefault..But i could be totally wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
