Unattended Install for WINFLP

[chaimlg]

HI

I have received a Beta Copy From microsoft of windows FLP (XP LIGHT). It's a nice small windows xp that will work on pI and up computers (how dosen't have any of them?)

I am looking for a method to deploy the windows in my network(from a share or so),

as a new install (from scratch).

The Deploy.cab will not accept the CD as a regular install, In order to create an unattended install.

Anyone have any smart ideas?

Thanks, Chaim

From what I've read (on bink's forums I think) it uses the same method to install as Vista, which is completely different to how XP does it. I suspect it will be possible, and if I get my hands on it I will be looking into it.

You have to run setup.exe with the /guionly switch. It will record the parameters you select in an XML file which can be used for later unattended installations with setup.exe /unattended switch. The setup is based of WIM image, similar to how vista will be.
