Hey everyone, my first time creating an unattended installation and everything has gone fairly painlessly until now. I load my .ISO in Virtual PC and I get the error (after I boot from CD)

"Line 29 of the INF file \i386\winnt.sif is invalid. Setup cannot continue. Press any key to restart."

I've checked the code over in the .sif file and I can't find anything that would be causing this error, besides a few misspellings which I corrected.

Here's my code.

Any and all oppinions will be greatly appreciated.

Just from briefly looking over it, i noticed that you dont have a value for OEMSkipRegional

I will try that right now, Bor3d, and get back to you ASAP. Thanks for the quick input!

=( Nope, still gives me the same error.

Try adding quotes around your Full name and orginisation name.

Sweeeeeet. It seems to work now. Thanks very much for your help, b0r3d.

No probs!

That's what i'm here for

Ok, now it installs fine but it doesn't copy over my batch files nor my reg file. Hmm... man I'm tired, I'll work more on this later today.

Your missing the command=0=

[GuiRunOnce]
    Command0="%systemdrive%\install\main_batch.cmd"

I have never used more than one command here so i am only guessing that the the next lines should be command1 and command2.

Yeah, it works now, forgot I had to have the batch files in the install dir.

Again, thanks for everyone's help.

Wait, ok, now I have another very tiny problem. I reg-hacked (using someone elses) my system and I have it tweaked the way I want it except for one thing: every shortcut is displayed as "*.lnk" and it's really annoying. I much rather just see the shortcut overlay (which I do).

Anyone know which reg setting this is so I can delete it? I would post my reg file but it's hella-long (20kb, to be exact). Is this to big? LOL

EDIT: I also have a problem with my desktop being stuck in the "Center" position and it's grayed out so I cannot change it. Again, I have no idea which reg setting this is. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Ok, ok, last thing, promise. I'm trying to find a reg hack that disables all Windows system sounds.
