oobeinfo.ini ignored on the cd

[Guest]

Hi,
I'm creating a slipstreamed sp2 cd with a winnt.sif file for an unattended
cd installation.
I would like to use the oobeinfo.ini file to avoid some of the following
screens after the 1st boot:
1) connectivity test
2) registration
3) user creation
4) windowsupdate activation etc..

The winnt.sif file works but it looks like my oobeinfo.ini file is ignored.
The oobeinfo.ini file is located on the cd in this directory:
\i386\$OEM$\$$\system32\oobeinfo.ini

I also tried the following path:
\i386\$OEM$\$$\system32\oobe\oobeinfo.ini

Both locations did not succeed. Why is the file ignored, is the path on the
cd wrong?

For a CD (and RIS), $oem$ needs to live at the same level as i386, not
beneath it.

You also need the OEMPreinstall=Yes line in your winnt.sif file.

Hope this helps

Oli
