I have builded my own copy of xp professional sp2 unattended using last version of nlite; I tested it with vmware 5 and all worked fine (no question during install except thos I wanted) but after I got two small problem:

1) automatic updates are still turned off and I have to manually activate them (I choose enable it in nlite options, I think)

2) video resolution is not set to 1024.768 (as I want) but still 640*480 (and windows alert me to set it to higher value)

any suggestion?

#2 is a a limitation of VMWare. Unless you get the right drivers integrated into your source it will always do that. You are just going to have to trust that the resolution part WILL work in a real machine build...

simple thing to problem #2

is

dont change it .. dont touch that tab .. its give u problems in Vmware and cant remember if it does change the screen size in the real pc installl or not .. i just skip that tab and when windows boots up its goes to 800 x 600 in Vmware

try adding the vmware drivers to the iso... see if that fix any problem in testing

#1

i think auto update is enabled by XP default unless you change it

thank you for support.

well, for question 1 and 2: I tried to set resolution to "auto" but nothing changed, also "autoupdates" was set both to "auto" or "on" but same problem, maybe I should try on real pc...

ah, another question: on startup windows always say "please wait, appling user's setting" a second before to log on, then start ok. is it normal? it doesn't happen using standard cd of windows xp....

yep thats normal

its just loading any themes / wallpaper / so on you may have on that account you use

And registry too.

thank you!!

Josef1975, please report if that autoupdate setting doesn't work for you on the real pc.
