Unattended CD Problems

[OXXO]

, i tried to make a Unattended CD with the XP SP2 without asking for a CD-Key.

I made a functionally custom boot menu, i followed all the steps provided and i tested the CD and everything is ok.

Now... i wanted to make a unattended CD and that's were my problems started. I configured a Full Unattdended txt from setupmgr.exe found on DEPLOY.CAB and the results were unattended.txt and unattended.cab.

I renamed unattended.txt into WINNT.SIF and i moved this one to the I386 folder.

My I386 is located here: D:\OXXO\SETUP\XP\Professional\I386

This is my WINNT.SIF:

and this is my WINNT.BAT generated by setupmgr.exe:

@rem SetupMgrTag
@echo off

rem
rem This is a SAMPLE batch script generated by the Setup Manager Wizard.
rem If this script is moved from the location where it was generated, it may have to be modified.
rem

set AnswerFile=.\WINNT.SIF
set SetupFiles=systemdrive%\SETUP\XP\Professional\I386

systemdrive%\SETUP\XP\Professional\I386 /s:%SetupFiles% /unattend:%AnswerFile% /copysource:lang

I use Microsoft Virtual PC to test my ISO that is made with cdimage.exe. In WINNT.SIF i have the command: OemSkipEula=Yes and when i boot from cd i have to press F8 for Eula agreedings so i figured that the SIF is not working in the first place.

Maybe you can figure what is wrong

Thanks!

Removed product key

Thanks for the product key, but I already have one!

Now get rid of it.

When you edit your post, you may also like to put your winnt.sif file within codebox tags too!

I managed to do an unattended CD but is working only with a simple boot menu (like the original XP CD).

Any idea how can i chain this unattended cd with a cdshell multiboot menu?

I tried to chain this one into a multiboot menu but it doesn't read the WINNT.SIF commands

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
