diesel_98a Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 line 18 refers to the guiunattended, but i am not seeing anything unless it has something to do with the admin password, if there is no password it should have only 1 mark on it, unless u have those marks in there in place of the password, also is the time zone code correct???[GuiUnattended]AdminPassword=""""""EncryptedAdminPassword=NOOEMSkipRegional=1TimeZone=85OemSkipWelcome=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Line 18 appears to be AdminPassword=""""""Too many of those quotation marks are causing the error, when there should only be two.If you don't want a password set, use:AdminPassword=*And if you do... use:AdminPassword="yourpasswordhere" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 just a question i was thinkingof though could i setup my blueyonder internet access through this method its an applicationMight be possible, try to identify what installer package it uses by viewing the Install Types listed at http://www.MSFN.org/unattended/xp/applications.htm then you should be able to work your way from there.

chicp Posted August 10, 2003 Author Share Posted August 10, 2003 1. Start the setup application using the -R switch (Use Command Prompt)e.g.Setup.exe -R2. The normal setup screens will appear, asking you questions as you go along such as destination directory, etc. It's CRUCIAL that you do not choose the "Restart the computer now" option. If you do, you will terminate your batch when you run an unattended installation.SORRY for asking but could someone explain how i go about doing thisin command promptwhat is the r switch trying to setup kerio firewall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 You can either browse to the directory where setup.exe resides in via command prompt, OR create a shortcut to setup.exe and edit this shortcut to add the -R switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveXP Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Start>Run>Command promtAfter that copy the directory link in to Command Promt (Or Just Drag the Files in to the Window for Command promt) and press the space bar and type -R and hit enter this will create a setup.iss file in the Windows Directory.DONT CHOSE RESTART TAHT THE END OF THE PROGRAMafter setup has finshed copy the setup.iss file to where you need it.
