msbatch.inf for win98 installs

[kannibul]

I am trying to automate everything I can for system installs.
I am using msbatch for my 98 installs, and it kicks off just fine, but when it reboots, and setup resumes (as it should) it stops for the user information (already filled in), acception of EULA and license key (again, already filled in)

does anyone know what the stupid option in the msbatch.inf file is for it to not prompt for this information? (as it is already in the inf file already) it might be =0 or =1 or domething to that effect...

hehe - I have novell client install, office 2000 install, sr1a install, ODBC install, MSI SP1a isntall, and NAVCE install all based on scripts, and all reside on a server, with automation.
all I have to do is log in...

##taking scripting to an all new level##

Mine stops here too, and it really pi$$e$ me off... I've tried everything in the MS Knowledge base (isn't that an oxymoron?) and I've tried custom-hacking several of these .infs w/no luck yet. My biggest break so far, is the .inf I ripped from an old Packard Bell restore CD today... it has XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX for the serial, and "Preinstalled User" and "Preinstalled Company" for the other info. No other special changes seem to have been made in this section of the .inf, so I'm burning a CD tonight and I'll try it tomorrow at work. Hope this helps (you and me).

BTW, you probably know, but if XXXXX etc ends up working, you can put in the real serial # in the registry HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion
