WINNT.SIF

[dukeminus]

Hi,

I am creating a Win2000 Unattended DVD with Office XP. I was succeful with everything until the Unattended installation reboots. I get the error that the system cannot fint 'C:\install\start.cmd or any of it's components.

During the installation phase everything goes smoothly, I have the install folder on yhe root of C with all of the applications and everything. I can run the start.cmd manualy and it works fine. Why won't the command execute during 2000 reboot?

Please help, this is driving me crazzzzyyyyy!!!!!

Just to confirm, although reading your post it should be...

The Install folder is in the OEM/$1 folder on your cd???

The OEM on the DVD is has follows:

$OEM$

$1

drivers

install

Applications

OfficeXP

$$

$docs

$progs

[dukeminus]

Has anyone else ever had this problem?

[drscouse]

Maybe a stab in the dark.. Im not sure... Does the winnt.sif get done in order, the only difference I can see, is that my GUIRUNONCE is a lot further down the list...???

Maybe nothing though...???

It looks ok otherwise....

Even here http://www.unattended.msfn.org/global/examples.htm in the sample winnt.sif, it is the last entry..??

If it does execute in some sequence, it would appear you are trying to run it before any accounts are even created... as I said, Im not entireyl sure, just an observation...!!

Good look

Like you said....Just a try. I am going to move the GuiRunOnce command down the list. I will post the results.

Thanks

I have changed the location of the guirunonce location. I still get the same error after final reboot. Cannot find C:\install.start.cmd or any of it's components.

HELP!!!!!!

[cyberloner]

start/wait %systemdrive%\install\applications\officexp\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=%systemdrive%\install\applications\officexp\Unattended.mst /qb-

that is the problem i think...

should be

start/wait %systemdrive%\\install\applications\\officexp\\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.mst /qb-

Office know where is your Unattended.mst if run in same directory...

need double \\ else use

"%systemdrive%\install\applications\officexp\setup.exe "

something like that...

[drscouse]

Lol.. should really learn to read posts better.. never saw the start.cmd info...doh!!!!

[oioldman]

just a couple of quick things =>

1; is the install folder created on c: and does it contain your start.cmd?

2; is the applications folder level with install folder or inside - as your .cmd is calling for apps to be inside

1. install folder is created on you %systemdrive% where your windows folder is present

2. cmdlines.txt , RunOnceEx.cmd and regtweaks.reg needs to be in $OEM$ folder

Example:

For more info just go to http://unattended.msfn.org/index.htm

winnt.sif does not know about %systemdrive%. Give a letter.

Does anyone know where to put the Default Gatway in the winnt.sif file and what that syntax is for win2000 unattended install?
