Win2k & IE6 Unattended Install
« on: May 16, 2003, 04:07:49 AM »
Hi everyone

There's stacks of guides out there that detail the process on how to install everything from A-Z (okay nearly!) In a win2k self booting unattended install

The snag i've come up against is:

One source sez to use the IEAK kit and make a packed install of ie6sp1 (done - tested and working fineon a clean install).
They say to put it in the cmdlines.txt of the $oem$ folder.

Done that, and I get one of 2 results: 1 the win2k install crashes, rebooting the whole pc with an error about performance counters causing an exception, and I don't see ie6 get installed..... or 2, the process installs, completes but I don't see any ie6 update in windows, it's still ie 5.5 (this might have been a dodgy install)


I don't trust using it in cmdlines, but if anyone has done this successfully, just let me know if u did it, if it was successful and the method you used, doesn't have to be in depth.


A second source said to use guirunonce... That's all good and well, It works fine, But as soon as guirunonce completes the installs I have queued up, it's supposed to run the shell (explorer)

Well \"explorer generates errors and gets closed by windows\"... No way to fix this except to reboot, then it works fine (ie6 installed working good) but i don't like the idea of those errors.

Anyone struck that problem?

It's the only thing i'm getting stumped on....
I've managed to integrate Win2kSP3, All HotFixes, IE6SP1 (with problems), DX9.0a, MP9 & MSN 5 plus my drivers so far.

But this IE6 thing is causing me major headaches, this is the 9th time i've reburnt this RW disc to get it right (LOL!)


Any ideas are appreciated!

Thanks Jimmy!! That should be enough info for me to get mine fixed...

I think my problem was i asked setup to run with the switch /q:a and it doesn't support it, so it aborted the setup. I've changed it to just ie6setup /q /r:n , testing it as i write this now actually =)


I noticed you have qchain at the end of that cmdlines list;

I have the hotfixes integrated into svcpack.inf with qchain at the end, should i be running qchain at the end of cmd lines after the ie6 setup completes, or won't it matter too much?

Your batch files also reminded me off some things i have to put in too! hehe

Cheers,
Raa

My understanding is that qchain.exe just takes care of multiple pending file rename operations on the same file. So as long as the program (IE6) isnt replacing any files that where replaced before you ran qchain.exe, you should be fine. If you want to know for sure you can always look at the output of qchain.exe by passing it a log file name. It tells you exactly what it does and from the info you can infer whether and when it is even needed or not.

For example, from this log file it doesnt look like qchain did anything and probably isnt needed:
