sandman_qc Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 First I would like to say hi to everybody. This tutorial is quite great actually. But I do have one problem. When it's time to install the extras it doesn't work. It says it doesn't find my "applications.cmd" and "applications.cmd" on C:. I don't know why it looks on c: for them. I must have missed something in the tutorial, even tho I read it about 10 times now.In my $oem$ --> $1 --> I have the 2 following folders: DRIVERS and INSTALL.In the INSTALL folder, I have 4 directory + the following: applications.cmd, main_batch.cmd, services.reg and unattended.bat. Maybe the last one isn't in the right place?Here's my Winnt.sif code:;SetupMgrTag[Data] AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes"[Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=No TargetPath=\WINDOWS DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\Videocard;Drivers\USB2\Drivers;Drivers\Ecran" [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=35 OemSkipWelcome=1[UserData] ProductKey=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX FullName="XXXXXXXXX" OrgName="" ComputerName=Nasty[Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=1024 YResolution=768 Vrefresh=120[RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 SystemLocale=00001009 UserLocale=00001009 InputLocale=0c0c:00011009[Identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP[Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=No[NetAdapters] Adapter1=params.Adapter1[params.Adapter1] INFID=*[NetClients] MS_MSClient=params.MS_MSClient[NetServices] MS_SERVER=params.MS_SERVER[NetProtocols] MS_TCPIP=params.MS_TCPIP[params.MS_TCPIP] DNS=Yes UseDomainNameDevolution=No EnableLMHosts=Yes AdapterSections=params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1[params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1] SpecificTo=Adapter1 DHCP=Yes WINS=No NetBIOSOptions=0[Components] msmsgs=off msnexplr=off minesweeper=off pinball=off zonegames=off[GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\main_batch.cmd %systemdrive%\install\applications.cmdAny help would be greatly appreciated...

Aaron Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Everything that is in $OEM$\$1 gets copied over to the hard drive during text-mode setup, so $OEM$\$1\Install becomes C:\Install.But the $OEM$ copying won't take effect when you have "OemPreinstall=No" in winnt.sif, so change it to Yes.btw, you said you read over the tutorial 10 times, I find it hard to believe you missed that bit on the bottom of http://www.MSFN.org/unattended/xp/winnt_sif.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandman_qc Posted October 10, 2003 Author Share Posted October 10, 2003 Thx man! I'll give it another try. Btw, I did read that Important note but I tought it was only to install the extras silently. My english is not that good when it comes to such nuances. Anyway, thx a lot.Btw, is my unattend.bat file at the right place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 What's inside unattend.bat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandman_qc Posted October 10, 2003 Author Share Posted October 10, 2003 I have this:@rem SetupMgrTag@echo offremrem This is a SAMPLE batch script generated by Setup Manager.rem If this script is moved from the location where it was generated, it may have to be modified.remset AnswerFile=.\unattend.txtset SetupFiles=E:\i386E:\i386\winnt32 /s:%SetupFiles% /unattend:%AnswerFile% /copysource:langBtw, I did an install with the oempreinstall turned on to yes and it worked great. Thanks so much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Good You can delete unattend.bat, its to tell setup where to locate the answer file (winnt.sif), but cd-rom drive letters can differ when used on another PC other than your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandman_qc Posted October 10, 2003 Author Share Posted October 10, 2003 Ok! One last thing (I know I'm asking a lot), I was wondering if it's possible to turn off the Welcome screen when XP first launch. You know, where they ask if you want to activate your copy and your name, etc. Btw, thx A LOT for the fast reply. I owe you one... or two...
