Virtual PC Blue Screening on Unattended Install
Just a quick question, have you ever had problems installing XP on a virtual machine using an unattended installation? (using a uncomplicated winnt.sif file)
When ever I try this it blue screens and I have to revert to a manual install.
Ran the same unattended install on a physical PC and all worked fine however.
winnt.sif is as follows.
;SetupMgrTag

MsDosInitiated="0"
UnattendedInstall="Yes"

UnattendMode=FullUnattended
OemSkipEula=Yes
OemPreinstall=No
