KevinGT Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Everywhere I've read says that the unattended.xml file goes on a floppy, usb, or cd-rom, but NOT the disc/device that actually contains Vista. In Windows XP, the TXTSETUP.SIF was placed in the i386 folder. Is there anywhere I can put the xml file so that it is on the same thing with which I install Vista?

KevinGT Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 I can't believe it's that simple, considering we're dealing with Microsoft and all. Thanks alot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitfrotter Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 @all,Be aware that if you put the autounattend.xml file in the root of the DVD and you put the DVD in the DVD player while you are logged on to XP or vista, the autorun option will start and this means the vista installation will start automatically.The autorun option will start the setup.exe from the Vista DVD and this setup.exe looks for a autounattend.xml file which it finds in the root. I learned the hardway and had to reinstall a WXP machine.Greetings,Bitfrotter:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinGT Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 Thanks for the tip; I've removed the autorun.inf from my USB drive, as it's not needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
