unattend installation: SETUP COULD NOT LOCATE WINNT32.HLP

[pankajtakawale]

Im trying to install WinXP SP2 unattend installation from WinPE 2.0

I followed following steps:

-N/w boot WinPE 2.0

-create parttion, format partition using diskpart

-net use p: \\RemoteBox\windist passwd /user:RemoteBox\usernm

p:

p:\i386\winnt32.exe /syspart:C /s:p:\i386\ /u:p:\i386\unattend.txt

I get this error:

"Setup could not locate winnt32.hlp. Help is not available"

if i remove /u:.... section, setup starts fine in attended mode.

Pl advice

Try adding the /tempdrive:<drive> option to your launch command.... works for me! Not on x64 though...

Nope its not working too for me.

I have winnt32.hlp file under I386 folder

Hmmm, problem solved. switch for winxp+sp2 winnt32.exe is "/unattend1" and not /u. Replacing /u by /unattend1 solved the problem
