Prabhu Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 Line with ' ; ' semicolon are comments.....u can skip them...and regarding Number of cd's: you can ommit the [Components] section as I have selected some features from CD2 (Win 2003 R2) so it requires. But you if try without [Components] section you shall get it working!
