Unattended installation issue.

N

news.microsoft.com

I am having two issues with my unattended installation.

1. When the resolution is incorrect a msgbox pop's up telling me to let
windows pick, this isnt a big deal but it stops the proccess. I read that
the AutoConfirm=1 line under the [Display] section will fix this. I have
not had success.

2. I still continue to get the Welcome Windows setup dialog that asks about
updates and usernames, I would like to have this skipped also. From what I
understand the UnattendedSwitch="yes" under the [Unattned] section should
prevent this, I have not seen this to be the case.

Below is a copy of my winnt.sif file, any help is greatly appreciated!

Have you tried UnattendSwitch - i.e. removing the "ed"-part.
