Not sure if I'm the only one having problems with this, but i've created a new automated install for SP3, and it always brings me to the "Welcome to XP" startup screen, and forces me to create a local account.
With SP2 it doesn't do this. I even went in and recreated the image with no change... Am i missing something simple? I just want it to give me a standard login screen so I can login as Administrator and finish doing what I need to do, not create another dummy local profile.....
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have the same problem. Even though I have set the user preferences I want in the 'Users' tab in nLite V1.4.8, it still wants me to create a user account. The user account screen is blank with no names in it... it doesn't even fill in the first name with the one from the 'Users' tab.
I am trying to integrate an XP SP2 Pro with SP3 and other fixes with various addons.
I have tried it with HIde Pages & Prompt Repair methods and it's the same, either way.
Sure, I can just delete the newly create account I am forced to create, leaving the nLite created account intact along with Guest and Administrator, but that's an extra step I'd rather not have to do every time, plus it sort of defeats the point of an 'Automated' install.
The other issue is that when the system boots, it is supposed to auto logon to the nLite created account, but whether the other user account is deleted or not, it pops an error saying
"The system could not log you on. Make sure your User name an domain are correct, then type your password again. Letters in passwords must be typed using the correct case"
... then I'm presented with the welcome screen and have to click my name to log on... which it then does just fine.
Any help would be appreciated.
Here's my last session ini file.

Out of the Box Experience is normal behaviour of Windows XP installation.
nLite can have it "Skip OOBE" but it's not appearing in your unattended section ("OOBEoff"), so I guesss you did not tick the box.

OOBE = Out Of Box Experience !! LMAO. OK. Thanks for that. It would be handy if there was some explanation of that FLA in the program.. like a tool tip or something. I had no idea what that meant.
FLA = Four Letter Acronym!
Cheers.
OK.. I tried again and this time ticked the OOBE box For off...
It STILL does the exact same thing! Goes through the Protect your computer thing, Add user, etc etc... So I still have to create another account that is not needed.
Any other ideas?

There is one thing that should work. When finished nLiting, but before creating or burning an image, check WINNT.SIF in I386 for the following:
If it is not there, put it there. Then create your ISO and test.
FYI, OOBE is also known as "Windows Welcome."

Thanks for that 5eraph. The code you mentioned is not in the SIF file, so I've added it and will set it to install now. I'll post back here with the results.
Ok, I added the following entries to the WINNT.SIF file..
[Unattended]
OemSkipEula=Yes
UnattendSwitch="Yes"
FileSystem=*
...and it worked just fine. I added FileSystem=* because I need to be able to format C: for a clean install. Without it, it installs windows into a new folder keeping the old install there... not ideal! I can't use the other methods for preping the hard disk because I have a D: partition on the same physical with data on it that I need to keep. From all I've read, there seems to be no way of using WINNT.sif to just format C: without repartitioning the whole drive.
Side note.. before I added those items, Setup would also ask me to read the EULA. I never had any of these issues with previous versions of nLite... Last version I used was... 1.4.5... I think.... can't quite remember exactly.
So... is this a bug in V1.4.8??

I can't use the other methods for preping the hard disk because I have a D: partition on the same physical with data on it that I need to keep. From all I've read, there seems to be no way of using WINNT.sif to just format C: without repartitioning the whole drive.
Side note.. before I added those items, Setup would also ask me to read the EULA. I never had any of these issues with previous versions of nLite... Last version I used was... 1.4.5... I think.... can't quite remember exactly.
So... is this a bug in V1.4.8??
Cheers

I am trying to integrate an XP SP2 Pro with SP3 and other fixes with various addons.
If the SP2is already an nLite disc, it could possibly be the cause of your surprises (OOBE, EULA, ao).

Thanks, but no, it's not an already nLited disk. I'm using an unbranded OEM SP2 Windows XP Professional CD (Of the kind I sold to system builders in my disty days) as my base.
