Unattended Install

[TSSTechie]

Howdy folks,

I'm trying to do an unattended install of Windows 95 from CD ROM. I have a slight problem, however. When setup initailly begins I get :

Please wait while Setup initializes.

Setup is now going to perform a routine check on your system.

To continue, press ENTER. To quit Setup, press ESC.

As it states, this waits for the Enter key to be pressed.

Also, when it gets to the point of entering the Product ID I get :

The Certificate of Authenticity number you entered is not valid.

Number entered:        -OEM--

You cannot complete setup without it............

I am using the following msbatch.inf file :

[BatchSetup]

executed via the following command line :

D:\SETUP /IW C:\MSBATCH.INF

The installation is completed automatically appart from the 2 points above so I know the script is running.

Does anybody know why it's stopping at these points, and how to fix it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

Additional :

I am using the proper code. I just thought it might not be such a good idea to broadcast it

Also, I have tried the productid without the quotes, without the dashes and OEM (just a string of numbers) but all result in the same message.

Thanks again

Howdy,

The main problem I have really is the product ID not being read from the script. I have found out from a Microsoft article that the Windows 9x OEM is designed not to accept a productID from a script. Does anyone know of a way round this ??

Thanks to anyone who may be able to offer some assistance

tsstechie;
unfortunately, an oem license is tied to the hardware it is sold with....so we really can't be of assistance in that dept., though i recall some discussion here previously concerning the 98 oem production kit - OPK. (that's all i can say).

bypassing the CD press "Enter" issue may be related to the script on the 9x CDROM, concerning auto - detection of the cdrom drive, though I haven't looked into it. I quickly scanned my 98 Rk98book.chm found on the 98 CDROM, and couldn't find anything pertinent, though there's tons of other info on there.
