Having the same problems as the OP, getting that error message using either the switches or using an AutoIT script. I wouldn't post unless I wasn't having any joy as I usually get the answer from a search, and i've managed to get the rest of my unattended install working fine that way. Its just ZoneAlarm giving me gip now I'm talking about the free ZoneAlarm, and I downloaded whichever version is current as of today. This is my current switch: zlsetup.exe /s /i /noreboot I have also created and AutoIT script and tried that but I still get the error. If there's no way around it then i'll just dump the .exe to C:\ and then perform a manual install once everything else has finished.

ZileXa, attemped to use your primo script but its no in my language (english) so I made an english version. Its my first script so its a bit clunky probably, but it worked for me.

I have slipstreamed Sp1 and the Update into a new CD and installed it, It has it listed in Add/Remove but when I visit winupdate there's 13 more updates? Is that right?

Ahh, think i have it sorted now

Hi guys, im getting quite far with my cd now Just one niggle at the moment, namely this screen: http://www.fwibble.org/unattended.png I can't get it to go away as it ask's me to create a user each time. I have tried the following: ECHO Adding User "Dave" net user Dave /add net localgroup "administrators" Dave /add net localgroup "users" Dave /delete net user administrator /active:no ECHO. REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\user.reg Thats in my main_batch.bat file and I also have Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "DefaultUserName"="Dave" "DefaultPassword"="" "AutoAdminLogon"="1" In user.reg file. What I dont get is that the batch files are executed AFTER the Welcome to Windows screen so how does it work? When I ran the code above it gave errors saying the user already existed, well thats obvious as I had to make it to get past the screen..then the batch files ran? As you might tell im just a little confused right now

I think the best way would be to unpack mirc to a folder in $OEM$/$1/install/mirc say then just XCOPY it over in a batch file.

Is there a way to dump the whole batch file into a .txt after it has executed? As its quite hard to spot errors as things install too quickly

Just wondering if anyone has got winamp to silent install without bringing up the menu after the install has finished? I can get around this slightly by having winamp install last and while the shutdown counts down I can enter the info but I might not always be at the pc Any idea's would be great!

Ahh thanks mate, both are good suggestions, and I thank you both

Thank you b0r3d! That works a treat. Much appreciated

Is it possible to make the batch file ask for user input? reason I ask is that I would like to copy certain files from my D: to my C: during the batch run but i'd like it to ask me if i'd want to or not and not bother coyping them? Thanks guys, great website you got here!

Is it possible to include driver updates for lots of devices that are on multipul pc's? Like my pc uses an ATi card and my other one an nvidia one, can they both be included in the winnt.sif file and work okay?
