Topic: DP Base uses incorrect syntax in WINNT.SIF?

I noticed that DP base will always modify the WINNT.SIF so that the flag for MSDosInitiated will be set to "NO" (without quotes). This is technically not the correct value because setup is looking for a numeric value for this particular entry (0 or 1). Reference: the ref.chm in the XP SP2 deployment kit from MS.

Not that this is terribly important since we all seem to get by smile

Huh? I think that this means Both are allowed then... I've ALWAYS (in the past 4 years or so) used "no", and never had any problems with it...

Actually I think what happens is that any unknown value resorts to the default value (0) in the MSDosInitiated entry. "1" indicates you are using install disks, which nobody touches these days.
