I've actually just finished trying to troubleshoot that same type issue. Ends up that the issue is with samba. When I turned logging up to level 5 I noticed that there were a few files that wern't being copied correctly. Something about 'attribs didn't match'.
See: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg20213.html I never did really solve the problem. If I boot up and then go to the directory where the file that gets the error resides then I can do a directory and see the file. If I do a copy and specify the filename directly then it copies just fine. But if a do a wildcard copy then it will copy all files but the ones that get the errors. The interesting thing is that this error only occurs in the msclient for DOS or the text part of the installer. Once you get into windows everything is accessable just fine. -Shad ----- Original Message ----- From: "James MacLean" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2003 12:51 PM Subject: Re: [Unattended] Copy Error: Setip cannot copy blah blah Update, Thanks first to everyone's ideas and suggestions. Problems occured on multiple boxes. Well, actually new Dells and VmWares. Tried copying to my Samba share from multiple sources (Linux, Win2000 box, another Win2000 box, etc...), with all getting me into trouble. But in the end I made some observations: 1. Straight OEM of XP works fine. 2. Straight DELL works fine when copied from Windows. 3. Either XP that I apply SP1a to then fail. 4. DELL with SP1 applied (preinstalled) works fine. So, one might think I am applying the SPs incorrectly, yet the practise works just fine on Win2000 for both SP3 and SP4. I've tried applying the SP's both directly from the given .exe and from the unpacked update.exe with not luck. But, I am able now to install XP the Unattended way :) and will keep thinking about what I might be doing wrong :(. thanks again, JES ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: VM Ware With VMware you can run multiple operating systems on a single machine.
