jimanny Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I'm trying out WIHU for my unattended install and I really like it.One question: Say I change the computer name in the GUI. Is there a variable for the computer name that I can send to an application during install?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
