Subject: [Unattended] Problem after first reboot - msg#00176

List: windows.unattended.general

Date: Prev Next Index Thread: Prev Index
I'm using Unattended v4.6 to install Windows 2000 Server SP4 and some other things.    Here's the problem.  Windows installs without a problem.  Perl installs fine.  Base.bat kicks in and starts running Win2ksp4-updates.  The first update which requires a reboot comes (I believe it is IE6).   Windows reboots, but when it boots up, todo.pl doesn't keep installing things.  I checked the c-drive and there are still lots of items in the todo.txt.  I checked the registry and Windows is set to run "mapznrun.bat todo.pl --go" but for some reason it doesn't run it.  The computer auto logged in correctly.  If I reboot the computer or log off and back on, it takes off again without any further problems (even rebooting correctly).  I thought maybe it had something to do with an update that it was trying to install, so I commented out the Win2kSP4-updates in the base.bat.  The same thing happened - after the first reboot, windows doesn't run the command to kick things off again.  I've tried it on a different computer and the same thing happens.  Has anyone had this happen?  I don't want to have to tell the users that they have to manually reboot after Windows is installed in order to finish installing the software.   Mike

Re: [Unattended] SQL Server 2000 SP3a

I've tried editing the .iss for sp3a with no success, it seems to hang halfway through and then complete with a -12 error. Perhaps you can send me your .iss file for sp3a to use as a template? (without the license key, of course!)
