recovery console installation through network

[vci]

hi tomcat!

another challenge for you *g*

when I install win2k with RC (through hfanswer.ini)

he complains about a missing winnt32.exe or wrong winnt32.exe

this happens after first reboot (at T-13?)

when configuring network and other stuff ...

installation through network and unattended.sourceforge.net

[tommyp]

Are you using hfcleanup?

[vci]

no, and without rc it works fine!

[tommyp]

Do you have this same problem when not using an HFSLIP source?

[Tomcat76]

It's possible that a network install can't find winnt32.exe. It isn't copied to the hard disk.

Add this to TXTSETUP.SIF:

[sourceDisksFiles]

WINNT32.EXE = 1,,,,,,,,3,3

And this to DOSNET.INF:

[Files]

d1,WINNT32.EXE

If that doesn't fix the problem I'm not really sure how to do it. I'll search around...

[vci]

thx, i'llt try that!

[vci]

doesn't work!

[vci]

I looked around a bit:

@ECHO OFF

IF EXIST %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\CMDOW.EXE CMDOW @ /HID

FOR %%i IN (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\I386\SVCPACK SET HFSLIP=%%i:\I386

%HFSLIP%\updroots.exe -d %HFSLIP%\delroots.sst

rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %SYSTEMROOT%\HFSLPGUI\HFSLPGUI.INF,HFSLIPGUI

IF EXIST %SYSTEMROOT%\*.TMP (

ATTRIB -R %SYSTEMROOT%\*.TMP

DEL/Q/F %SYSTEMROOT%\*.TMP

)

EXIT

maybe /cmdcons /unattend /makelocalsource fixes the problem?

i'll try ..

edit

is it possible to edit the file after slipstreaming everything?

edit your file and [assuming you do not have hfslip automated] type in MAKEISO instead of typing I have read the instructions. This will make a new image.

[Tomcat76]

The /makelocalsource switch can be added by HFSLIP based on the existence of an entry in HFANSWER.INI but I need to know if it does the job before I insert it. According to the documentation, it is intended to copy the entire source to the hard disk which isn't really what we need...

hmm, it was just an idea, i'll test that ;-)

The current release candidate no longer supports RCLOCAL=1 but you can add it yourself.
