Would anyone like a script that....

[DaveXP]

if you are on about the winnt.sif maker that in with my script it is a custom made program.

[cje]

I think i will discontinue my script and test out davexp's script there is no need for two scripts that do the same thing. But thanks for all the help.

I got the rar file working. It helps if i have the correct version of winrar.

found one small error in the script,

this line

start /wait Winntmaker\Setupmanager.exe

should be

start /wait Winnt\Setupmanager.exe

greetz to the board members

Great board btw :-)

[DaveXP]

know because the script needs you to save the winnt.sif in the root folder if that correction there you just said was in place it would save in the winnt folder thats why its called winntmaker.

here are a few errors i have found.

1) Also please ensure that you have placed your Service Pack if any in the root

of xpsetup folder and renamed it to SP1.exe or SP2.exe which ever one applys

to you.

error...

Windows cannot find 'svcpack\SP1.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and the try again. To search...

------------------

SP1.exe is in

\Unattended_script\xpsetup\SP1.exe

comment:

it looks like i need to put sp1.exe in 2 directories. NOTE SP2 has same problem when looking at the code.

2)'Please' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

The system cannot find the file specified.

i hope this helps

ok, perhaps you should rename de dir winnt in the rar file so it say's winntmaker.

I do like this script very much.

Thanks for sharing...
