Unattended Upgrade switch dilema

[wood co]

Hi all

When running an upgrade of 2000 to XP, you have the option to use the
/unattended switch for a straight forward upgrade, but you are prompted for
the serial.
When you build an unattended file with he serial only in, setup runs a
completely new installation, ignoring the current previous install. How do I
get over it?

TIA

In the [Unattend] section Add

Win9xUpgrade = Yes (if upgrading from the toy operating system line)

or

NtUpgrade = Yes (if upgrading from NT or 2000)


For more information see the ref.chm and deploy.chm in deploy.cab

Nope...

But please note taht the "NtUpgrade = Yes" entry is valid only for
Winnt32.exe.

If OemPreinstall is Yes, do not set NtUpgrade to Yes.
