winnt.sif [components] folder not recognized

[spacesurfer]

hi,

i have in the components section of winnt.sif folder, msn explorer and msn messenger set to no so it won't install.

however, it still installs.

moreover, i want fax services to install but it won't.

i checked for spelling and it's all correct.

can't figure it out.

it's not an nlite. it's an untouched CD with sp2 integrated

any suggestions?

(i don't thim oempreinstall=yes should be an issue in this?)

Just open nlite and check if fax services is in there in the first place. Don't mod anything unless you want to.

Can you post your winnt.sif? And take out your serial number. Most ppl forget...

It looks fine to me, (what is homenet anyway? just asking) so it must be your source.

Sorry. Try removing stuff in nlite not from winnt.sif.

[spacesurfer]

Do I need the unattendedswitch="yes"? I didn't think I need that since installing or removing compoents is not related to an unattended install.

[Homenet] are properties for you network. By setting ShowTrayIcon=yes, it shows your Local Area Network icon in tray.

Found this in microsoft's help file in deploy.cab.

This doesn't work either, even though I have it enabled.

Although the name of my workgroup is being recognized, the rest is not being recognized.

I use unattendedswitch=yes and it works for me. Don't know if you need it though. Try removing all your xxxxxxx=Yes under [components] and see if it works and still installs them.
