[Help] Win95 Full Unattended

[The008]

I'm having problems to install Win95 unattended. I a batch file (msbatch.inf) to automate the setup process, but I can't get it full unattended. When the system reboots, it asks for network identification and computer name:

and I'm using this msbatch.inf:

[Setup]
EBD=0
Express=1
InstallType=1
PenWinWarning=0
ProductID=XXX-XXXXXXX
NoPrompt2Boot=1
Uninstall=0
VRC=1
CCP=0
[System]
DisplChar=16,800,600
[NameAndOrg]
Name=Black
Display=0
[Network]
ComputerName=BLCK
Workgroup=Group

Am I doing anything wrong ????

Thanks guys!

I tried changing the InstallType to 3, but didn't work either.

I tried changing the InstallType to 3, but didn't work either.

In Win98, there is a utility you can use to make your own msbatch.inf file, there maybe a similar one you can use for Win95. Its called batch98 and its in the resource developers pack. Hope this helps ...

[jaclaz]

Did you try to put quotes to the names:

[Network]ComputerName=BLCK

Workgroup=Group

should be:

[Network]ComputerName="BLCK"

Workgroup="Group"

In my experience quotes or no quotes don't matter if there are no spaces after the equal sign.

But quotes do matter [crackers do matter = nod to Farscape] if there are any spaces.

This is valid for all INF files.

Hope this helps.

[The008]

there are no spaces in the end of the lines, but tomorrow I'll try putting quotes and see what happens.

I created unattended installations for Windows 98 too, but I hadn't problems, and I'm not sure if I can make a FULL unattended installation for Win95. Anybody got a Full Unattended Win95 Setup? 'cause we can compare the MSBATCH's...

Thanks guys

[MDGx]

If quotes are only at the end of the line, SETUPX.DLL/ADVPACK.DLL will NOT correctly interpret them.

Quotes must be put both at the begining and at the end of the line.

Example:

[Version]

Signature=$CHICAGO$

[DefaultInstall]

AddReg=AR

[AR]

HKU,".Default\Software\Microsoft\Windows Script Host\Settings",DisplayLogo,0x00010001,0

HKLM,"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\EXPLORER.EXE",,,"%10%\EXPLORER.EXE"

HKLM,"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\EXPLORER.EXE",Path,,"%10%"

[sourceDisksNames]

1=,,0

Or this...

Correct:

[Network]

ComputerName="BLCK"

Workgroup="Group"

Correct:

[Network]

ComputerName=BLCK

Workgroup=Group

Incorrect:

[Network]

ComputerName=BLCK"

Workgroup="Group
