NanakiXIII Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 I had a go at creating an unattended XP install today, using the tutorial on this site. My first try has ended in failure however, and I don't know enough about this to find out what I did wrong, so I'm hoping someone will be willing to help me. The setup works fine at first, but after a reboot, when it loads the graphical part of the setup, it just crashes and reboots my computer, loads up to the same point and crashes again, etc.Here's what I did to create my faulty CD:I started out with an SP1 CD, copied its contents to my hard drive.I slipstreamed SP2 and a load of post-SP2 updates.I added a winnt.sif file with the wizard for creating the answer file, then added the following:[Data] AutoPartition=0[Unattended] ProgramFilesDir="D:\Program Files" CommonProgramFilesDir="D:\Program Files\Common Files" FileSystem=*[GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\Install\install.batI put some application setups in the $OEM$ folder that are executed by install.bat. I tested that entire setup on an installed XP-installation and it worked fine.That's basically all I did. I thought I was keeping it simple, but I still messed up. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong?
