ceez Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 everynow and then I have to install win98, I was wondering if there's a way of making a fully unattended install. I googled this idea and came up with the following:Edit the MSBATCH.INF file and enter the following:[batchSetup]Version=3.0 (32-bit)SaveDate=04/11/01[Version]Signature = "$CHICAGO$"AdvancedINF=2.5LayoutFile=layout.inf[setup]Express=1InstallDir="c:\windows"InstallType=3ProductKey="xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx"EBD=0ShowEula=0ChangeDir=0OptionalComponents=1Network=1System=0CCP=0CleanBoot=0Display=0DevicePath=0NoDirWarn=1TimeZone="Eastern"Uninstall=0NoPrompt2Boot=1+So far everything went well except the following:In the beginning before it begins to copy the files it asks for a user and company nameThan after the 1st reboot of the copying files, it shows you the username and company once again, you have to physically click [ok]. The next screen is the serial which it types in but still prompted to click [ok] to it. That's it, there on after is the usual end of the installation and done.Anyone has any idea about this. I would like to make ALL my OS "hands free"! thkzceezps- eventhough WinME sucks, the same could prob be applied to it also, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b0r3d Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 The only operating systems from Microsoft that matter anymore are XP, 2k, NT4 and soon 2k3 and Longhorn. The rest have been emptied from the recycle bin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venim Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 Well I created a MSBATCH.INF but where do I put it?I have at work some computers at work that run win98 and doing the installation unattended would help me ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 I haven't got a copy of Win98 handy atm, but according to a Knowledge Base Article:Running Setup with the Batch (.inf) FileIf the Msbatch.inf file is located in the Windows 98 Setup folder, Windows 98 detects it and use it to install Windows 98.Here are some articles I found:http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=214727http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/...rt7/wrkappd.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jia Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 yes you can create a msbatch.inf file and put it in the win98 setup folder.with the Batch98 you can create a perfect batch file and when the setup goes on ,the only thing you need to do is to click OK twice.here is the batch file i created.
