I open a DOS PROMPT in Windows 98SE, and type;
d:\i386\winnt32 /dudisable /u:winnt.sif

Setup dialog does open, but then I get the error:
The specified Setup script file (d:\i386\winnt.sif) is inaccessable or invalid.

I know what is happening; WINNT32.exe (and required files) is being copied to: C:\Windows\WINNT32\
(This is a temporary Folder, and gets deleted by WINNT32), on close I guess.

WINNT32 won't read the setup script from d:\i386\
nor from c:\Windows\WINNT32\ (if I manage to get a copy of my Setup Script into c:\Windows\WINNT32

So I guess my question is: Is it possible to do an inplace upgrade to Windows XP using a Setup Script?
