It wasn't too bad, most of the applications worked very well the only major problem that I ran into was with the XP install - did not test 2000
The first problem was with doit.bat it appears that the Japanese language version of XP does not like the command "Z:\os\winxpsp1\i386\winnt /s:Z:\os\winxpsp1\i386 /u:c:\netinst\unattend.txt".
winnt will not run unless your current working directory is Z:\os\winxpsp1\i386(or where ever it lives).
So I first modified install.pl to make doit.bat read.
Z: cd os\winxpsp1\i386 Z:\os\winxpsp1\i386\winnt /s:Z:\os\winxpsp1\i386 /u:c:\netinst\unattend.txt
so that still didn't work but when I made it
cd z:\os\winxpsp1\i386 z: Z:\os\winxpsp1\i386\winnt /s:Z:\os\winxpsp1\i386 /u:c:\netinst\unattend.txt
It worked great. I know that both do pretty much the same thing and I have no idea why the first didn't work, but I got it working and I am happy.
This is something that may want to be added to the next release - I have no idea what other language versions need this but who knows there may be more and it shouldn't hurt to have it- just a thought.
So after I fixed doit.bat XP started and was going along and I thought that I had it, until after the first reboot and it stopped. It was giving some error but of course I had no idea what it was so I had to call over our Japanese administrator. The error said something to the effect that Windows XP did not have enough room on the selected partition to install. So it looks that the Japanese language version of XP needs more then 2 GB to install (this was before the conversion to NTFS).
To fix this second problem I converted the boot disk to use MS-DOS (is this legal?)
This was just done as a temporary stop gap, once the next release is released we should be able to create and format a partition larger the 2 GB.
Next week I am going to be working with our Administrator from Paris and creating a French and Italian language version.
