When booting My VM with the CD drive mapped to my iso image i recieve the error mesage "Line 180 of the INF File \i386\winnt.sif is invalid Setup cannot continue. Press any key to exit." after "Setup is inspecting your hardware configuration..." I have used this winnt.sif file many times. I have even created a new VM to see if the error goes away. I still recieve it. Ieven tried to edit the file and i still get the message at line 178. Line 180 is in green and removed data is in red

If line 180 is Home_page = http://acconet.acco.com/

, then it might be that, i had a similar problem with the Home_Page in winnt.sif file

BlueMe,

Line 180 is not the link line.

Thanks for helping

Yes.. seen that, sorry, i've just woke up, about that.. i'm thinking.. u might wanna try word Wrap off maybe it points to another line.. just saying.

2 of the same section headers may confuse the interpreter into producing an error.

BTW, the Winnt.sif posted would have looked good in [ Codebox ] ... [ /Codebox ] without spaces in the tags.

here u r another err0r :

[GuiRunOnce]%ProgramFiles%\Install\start.cmd"

this should be:

[GuiRunOnce]"%ProgramFiles%\Install\start.cmd"

and u can also check the deploy.chm file for the reference since the setup indicates it is the cause of the err0r

Setup never lies
