Topic: experiment with unattended install and driver packs

im trying to do an unattended install of xpsp2 but i am having trouble. my trouble starts with the addition of driver packs to my nlited xpsp2 install cd. everything works fine if dvd is booted normally and install takes over after the boot process. if i try to start the install from this command line "winnt32.exe /noreboot /unattend15:winnt.sif" the install has copy errors of presetup.cmd and setuporg.exe not being in the \windows folder and dspdsblr.exe and others not being in c:\. again, this only happens if i have integrated (method 1) driver packs into the build dvd. unattended install from a dvd without driver packs works ok.  install using my command line must change other built in commands or sequences that are changed by running the driver packs integration. is there a way to run the install from a command line with a still have the integrated drivers packs work properly?
please show example.

thanks

Re: experiment with unattended install and driver packs

Hi
welcome to DriverPacks.

a method 1 should not be asking for setuporg.exe.

Wich DPsBase version do you currently use?

The answer was 42?
Kind regards, Jaak.

Re: experiment with unattended install and driver packs

yes. your right. it was method 2 with no ktd. i guess i might have went all around the question i really needed to ask. how can i build a xpsp2 dvd with driver packs added and be able to use a command line to run the
unattended install? i do have nlite which is what i tried first but i am having problems as described in my
first post.

thanks

Re: experiment with unattended install and driver packs

minimum you have to do is successfully run presetup.cmd before you run winnt32 (which means :\OEM\ must be available)

this is not a supported method atm so you may not get many responses.

Re: experiment with unattended install and driver packs

ok great! what im doing is copying the dvd to hdd 0 part 1 so oem is definitely available. would this be a correct
batch cmd:

echo Starting Presetup Command
presetup.cmd
echo
echo
echo
winnt32.exe /noreboot /unattend15:winnt.sif
exit

also, how do i get a hold of you or do you check the post every so often?

thanks
