I used to have a very successful windows install, that installed software, joined domain, renamed computer etc, but when re-creating it recently, i find that all winnt.sif settings are taken, and after windows is installed, it hangs at a black screen.

The ouse is visible, and i can move it around, but i have to reboot the machine.

After this it has installed correctly, but i need it to auto logon, so i can start installing the software.

Anyone had any experience ?

Here is my Winnt.sif : Passwords and CD-key starred out for secrecy.

Hello...

I ´m German - sorry for my englisch...

i had the same problem - if you integrate a *.reg File into your installation -

look in the +.reg File, if you had a TWEAK -called

## HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx ##

delete it - that runs for me
