WINNT.SIF

[dukeminus]

Like I stated earlier this is my first attempt at doing an unattended install with Win2000. I have posted the start.cmd and the guirunonce command line. Am I supposed to have anything else. Am I missing anythig?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Okay I have an issue.. this is my first time making an unattended install and the basics are easy but I ran into issues on the intermediate section where it refers to winnt.sif This file doesn't seem to exist on my CD anywhere nor does a copy of winnt.si_ The only file that resembles any of this is a file in the I386 folder called Unattended.txt. Where does one go from here?

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

correction: winnt.sif has no problems whatsoever interpreting environment variables.

%systemdrive% is perfectly fine, and recommended.

You need to enclose the commands in quotes for the GUIRunOnce section, try

[GuiRunOnce]
"%systemdrive%\install\start.cmd"

Well nevermind.. i found out... i somehow completely missed the unattended portion of first beginners section and there it says ti name it from unattended.txt to winnt.sif.
