Dear jack99

Where can i get more about msbatch.inf pl's post web link from where u found it.

**** that's alot of information. I have a couple of unattended files for both win98 and me, that I got working pretty good. I also got it to install IE6 unattended. My files are on my server at work. They may be a little easier to understand. I can give you this little tidbit... you need the retail versions to make it completely unattended, else it stops at the EULA and makes you click okay three times through the EULA, cdkey and name/organization. I also made a very cool win98/winme AIO that would boot and let you choose which OS and then from there on out it was completely unattended until IE6 was installed. I haven't worked with it for a few years though. I'll post mine tommorrow from work. 98 is a kinda dead OS now, however.

aj

hi
thank you again for the awesome batch file, i spent many hours understanding it
im tryin to link 3 unattended installs together, win98,win2000,winxp . i keep gettin stuck at the video screen, i cant figure out how to not be prompted , have the link figured out by having the registry point to the next batch ,in this case, win98 then win2000 , but cant seem to stop the video from prompting me, if anyone knows which line i need to edit, maybe im just not reading it right,, thank you in advance , and this is best forum by far ive seen, i still have 10 months of school left, hope yas dont get sick of me by then

hi jack99
just wanted to say that an awesome sig lol,
thanx again for the msbatch.inf file
