unattended answer file install via SMS package

[jj12]

we are trying to setup a sms package to perform an
unattended install of Windows XP using an answer file.
However when the package runs the setup does not get the
product key from the answer file and prompts the user to
input the product key.

The format of the answer file looks like this:

[Unattended]
Unattendmode = FullUnattended
OemPreinstall = No
TargetPath = *
Filesystem = LeaveAlone

[UserData]
FullName = "Name"
OrgName = "Company Name"
ComputerName = *
ProductID= XXXXX-YYYYY-ZZZZZ-AAAAA-BBBBB

Does this format appear correct for the answer file?

The command line in the sms package uses the following
format:

i386
\winnt32.exe /UNATTEND30:XPanswerfile.txt /BATCH /NOREBOOT


Does the format of the program command line appear
correct?

Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks!

You need to change:
\winnt32.exe /UNATTEND30:XPanswerfile.txt /BATCH /NOREBOOT

To:

\winnt32.exe /UNATTEND30:Winnt.sif /BATCH /NOREBOOT

Just rename the XPanswerfile.txt to Winnt.sif and you
should be fine.
