Poddy Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 (edited) First of all, i've searched and i've only found 1 entry regarding this problem:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=8488&hl=i have tried cancelling the network, yet that failed, so i am opening this thread.This is my first time creating an unattended install, so I'm assuming i have made an error.When i load the setup from the boot(I use Virtual PC to test it) all works fine, text mode copys the files over, and copys my files i have set in $OEM$ folder too.Then the usual reboot, GUI mode occurs, although as it seems everything is working fine it isnt. all the animations are working, there is no sign for a freeze. But no matter how long you leave it on, i have tried for hours it does not continue with the installation. It is stuck at the T-39 point there are no progress bars appering at all like they are supposed to and i do not recieve any error of any kind.Version in subject:Windows XP Proffesional build 2600What have i changed:- Slipstreamed SP2 into a original installation, build 2600- Slipstreamed hotfixes with the RyanVM packs and included the WMP10 addon pack- Created the basic unattended setup- set 2 drivers, Ethernet card and USB Cable modem to install using the winnt.sif- installed Office 2003, using advanced setup, and a couple more programs, all using RunOnceEx- Applied the UXtheme.dll replacement using nLite- Changed Setup billboard (From a source linked from the forum)- Changed boot screen(installed by RunOnceEx)- Added theme files to Windows\Resources\Themes using $OEM$\$$\Resources\Themes- Applied the theme to be default using winnt.sifAlso the contents of the files i edited:Winnt.sif;SetupMgrTag[Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes"[Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS Repartition=No UnattendSwitch="yes" OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\001_LAN;Drivers\002_CABLE" DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore[GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=7063a420d47671d8aad3b435b51404eefc35e5b4c84b17fe90e3937e6726ee05 EncryptedAdminPassword=Yes OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=135 OemSkipWelcome=1[UserData] ProductKey=xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx FullName="Mors Dyce" OrgName="Poddy Interactive."

Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 (edited) Without reading everything in detail, this is my guess: disconnect the USB cable modem during setup, connect it AFTER you're logged in.EDIT: or put a router in between.EDIT2: and this is also incorrect:[GuiUnattended] & nbsp Edited October 21, 2005 by Bâshrat the Sneaky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poddy Posted October 21, 2005 Author Share Posted October 21, 2005 (edited) Thanks for the quick reply, i'll try that.By the way i believe that was made from posting as it dosent appear in my file.Update: it didn't work, i'm trying to start all over testing each step, if it works hopefully i'll find the problem that way.
