Using batch98 and some batch files I obtained a quasi-unattended installation of windows 98 SE...

the trouble is: windows setup does not fully automate the NameAndOrg section of msbatch.inf.

I mean... the setup pauses asking for User and Org. Names...

I find my default User and Org already written in text boxes, but I have to manually click next to get the setup running... also, it asks me to accept the license agreement.

My msbatch.inf file contains the following:

Leo128, I see this is your first post, so welcome.

the one about the Eula (license) should be this:

Quote

ShowEula=0 ; Automatically agree to the terms specified in the
; End User License Agreement and do not display it.

and the one about user/Org should be this:

Quote

[NameAndOrg]
name="Pilar"
Org="Widgets"
Display=0

And they seem right in your posted list.

You really should use the search function of the board however, check info posted here:
http://www.msfn.org/...showtopic=35349
http://www.msfn.org/...showtopic=40303

It is possible that you are using an "OEM" version rather that a "Full" one, see these:
