Hi all,

Please forgive this Noob his possibly dumb question:

How does one bypass the message "Windows Setup will reboot in 15 seconds..." (blah blah)...?

I'd like to just have it shut up and reboot now. =)

Thanks.

If u use Winnt.sif, it will reboot automatically w/o waiting for 15s

To skip the 15 secs waiting period, then the following entry needs to be specified in winnt.sif, but it only works for XP and not Win2k:
[Unattended]
	WaitForReboot="No"

Ahh cool thanks. That's a good little tidbit.
