Noobie help with unattend

[lammypie]

Ok I've been following the discussions here for some time, and am very new to the world of VISTA and Unattended installations. very keen to move the folder locations such as programdata and users etc.

I used the Windows System Image manager to make this xml, I save it to a floppy and its in the drive when VISTA ultimate 64-bit installs, it reads the floppy and I think its going to work but after installation is complete. The folders are in the standard place on the C drive so the modifications in the answer file were just ignored.

I note one line at the end of this file points to the image file on my hard disk, however I'm installing from the DVD and it wouldn't be able to access that harddisk as its not connected anymore. Could this be the problem?

Also I use an Intel Core2Duo 6600, but the system image manger only had x86 or AMD64 for the loder options, where is the intel option for 64bit.

It is 64-bit Vista I'm trying to install.

from unattend.chm

FolderLocations specifies the location of the user profile and program data folders.

Note:

This setting is valid for upgrades.

How true the Note is I don't know

I'm sure there may be a way but just not discovered yet that I know of.

Don't worry, we all new to this even after a year of jacking with it
