Unattended Windows 98 Install – Not full

by thomas.nilsen . Updated 25 years, 9 months ago

I’ve started looking at unattended installation of Windows 98.

After creating the msbatch.inf file using Microsoft Batch 98 from the resource kit, and setting the inf file up so that no questions are asked during install, setup.exe still comes upand ask for Username/Company and EULA confirmation.

The following paramaters are set in the msbatch.inf file:

[Setup]
..
Express=1
ShowEula=0
ProductKey=”………..”

[NameAndOrg]
Name=”whatever”
Ord=”Whatever”
Display=0

Thisshould according to all documentation I’ve found on Microsoft make setup.exe avoid asking for user input. Ok, the name/org field are populated with the vaules from the msbatch.inf, but the “Next” button still has to be pressed.

Can someone pleasetell me how I can avoid having to answer these dialog boxes during installation of win98?
