Unattended install errors.

[njovin]

I am trying to setup an unattended install system on our network at work. Everything is going smoothly, I've got the target machine booted and logged into the install directory on the server. Setup loads and begins copying the setup files to the hard drive. However, when it gets to the drivers.cab file, it sits there for about 2 minutes then says it is unable to copy the file.

I have to tell it to retry two or three times before it actually copies the file. This also happens with a few other files during the setup, but I only have to tell them to retry once. Also, it is incosistent which of these files does not copy. Driver.cab ALWAYS fails.

I have checked the source installation directory, and the file is there, and all permissions are set properly, as setup copies most of the other files fine.

The target machine is brand new, pre-partitioned (properly - i know this for a fact) drive, all necessary hardware. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hmmmm you could try replacing the target file off the cd ( or maybe the file on the cd is corrupt?!) that is a strange problem my friend.

the unattend install takes the files from a cd or froma network share?
if it's a cd "test user" may be right-replace de CD
if it's a network share and u do a simultaneos installation on many computers and your LAN is 10MB non switched it can hang a long time on a PC .
also u may be have to consider reviweing the answer files for the unattned it installation and check for errors..
give us more details about the build itself..
