Hi!

I'm currently having some trouble with my WINNT.SIF:

;SetupMgrTag
[Data]
    AutoPartition=0
    MsDosInitiated="0"
    UnattendedInstall="Yes"

[Unattended]
    UnattendMode=FullUnattended
    OemSkipEula=Yes
    OemPreinstall=Yes
    TargetPath=\WINDOWS
    UnattendSwitch="yes"
    WaitForReboot="No"

[GuiUnattended]
    AdminPassword=xxx
    EncryptedAdminPassword=Yes
    OEMSkipRegional=1
    TimeZone=110
    OemSkipWelcome=1

[UserData]
    ProductKey=xxx
    FullName="xxx"
    OrgName="xxx"
    ComputerName=xxx

[Display]
    BitsPerPel=32
    Xresolution=1024
    YResolution=768
    Vrefresh=100

[Identification]
    JoinWorkgroup=xxx

[Shell]
    DefaultStartPanelOff=Yes
    CustomDefaultThemeFile="%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\Windows Classic.theme"

[Networking]
    InstallDefaultComponents=Yes

[GuiRunOnce]
    %systemdrive%\UNATTENDED\install.cmd

As you see I've defined the classical Windows-theme as "CustomDefaultThemeFile". Everytime I am testing within a virtual-machine (VMware) I see the Royal-Blue-Design, which is the standard design of Windows Media Center Edition 2005, which I am using. Even tried to use DefaultThemesOff = Yes instead of CustomDefaultThemeFile, no success. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

No one replied to you in more than 18 months? WTF?!

I am trying to set this theme myself with tweaks and its not working.

Maybe try this:

[shell]

DefaultThemesOff="yes"

CustomDefaultThemeFile="%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\Windows Classic.theme"

I will post back my results, I am not using the DefaultStartPanelOff tweak you're using.

EDIT: You don't need any entries in WINNT.SIF.

Just use this reg tweak:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes]
"InstallTheme"="%ResourceDir%\\themes\\Windows Classic.theme"
