unattended installation + ie admin kit

[Guest]

hi

im working for days now on an unattended installation of xp.

no problem with the winnt.sif file so far, it works fine

i downloaded the ieak 6 and was nice surprised of all these useful options you have there, and so i decided to melt it with my unattended copy. but how? i foind a lot of articles on how to successfully complete the ieak steps. ok, so i have two main folders, the 'desktop' and the 'ins' one

since in the [branding] part of the winnt.sif file, it says, i should set install.ins into the $OEM$ folder, i copied all the content from both main folders wiht all cabs infs and the install.ins file(s) into the $OEM$ folder

i burned a copy and the windows setup didnt call the install.ins file. after the installation finished i started the install.ins file myself and it asked me if i wanted to change the internet settings. i was happy cuz i thought, hey it worked, but it didnt. after the dialog box i didnt notice that something ever happen. a hoax?! =

well. is there a way to implement the install.ins installation setup of ie into the windows setup? and if not, its no big problem, cause i will set the installation part into the [guirunonce] section. but how? i tried some syntax with the ie6setup.exe, like ie6setup.exe -finstall.ins and smiliar. but nothing worked

please help me

thanks so much, since im siting here and trying for days

best regards
