The test of my first unattended install went relatively fine. Then I tweaked it some more with more registry settings, program installs, and changed 2 or 3 things in nLite. Now every time I install it in VMWare I get the error pictured below upon reboot, after a minute or two while everything loads. A second or two after this is displayed, it reboots itself. I haven't got a clue what's causing this, and installation in Virtual PC yields similar results, only the screen just goes black and then reboots instead of displaying any message. Thoughts?

hi, ive had this problem..

for me it was a bad registry tweak.. (try remaking the ISO without registry tweaks)

also.. if the first 1 doesnt help, try it without using nlite? maybe u selected a program like IE core or 1 of the experimental components & they are acting weird?

Disc without registry tweaks didn't do it.. now to try without nLite.

[MCT]

also.. what version of nlite r u using? 0.98.4? (latest)

[ChiDragon]

Yep, 0.98.4. Tried without using nLite on the files copied from the disc but still installed programs and got the error. Now to try without programs...

also.. can u give a complete list of ALL programs u are installing?

Well installing with hotfixes but without programs worked so I guess it's a problem with one of the programs. I'm thinking the problem is with Alcohol 120%, as a dialog popped up to install the SCSI driver for the virtual drive with it the first time I tested, and I was sitting there watching so I clicked through it. The other times I removed the SCSI driver from the XP disc with nLite since it says that all you have to do with virtual drives is to deselect in device manager and reboot or something, but the dialogs popped up anyway.. However, they disappeared after a minute or two so I figured that was alright.

That problem doesn't make any sense, but anyway, I'll try now with nLite and everything being used but with Alcohol 120% not installed during the unattended batch. The only link that you listed that seems to apply is the first one, but I'd rather not have to call up M$ to get a hotfix... If this doesn't work then I'll type out the list of programs that I'm installing for you. Thanks for all your help.

Problem solved by not installing Alcohol 120% during unattended.
