I've just created my Unattended Setup. I've done quite a few at work, in the form of RIS installations, but this is my 1st CD. The problem I have is that the computer seems to crash at the T-9 stage. The mouse still moves and the num lock/caps lock still responds on the keyboard. But the little green square indicators in the bottom right corner of the setup screen are frozen, and the computer seems to sit there doing nothing. No hard drive action either. I've tried it on a Virtual PC and its the same result, so not a hardware problem.

Here is my winnt.sif file:

Any ideas what could be causing the crash?

A few extra notes:

I've edited the CD with nLite, removed some components, but no critical ones. MSN Explorer, Windows Messenger, Tour, Desktop Cleanup Wizard.

I've applied RyanVMs Update Pack 1.2.2 and 1.2.2b

Can't think what could be causing the crash. :(
