Synopsis: Unattended installation using Windows 2000 Server goes great. Then it fails to complete the perl installation.
It auto-logs on successfully (as Administrator), maps the Z: drive, and starts to bring up the installer, then it dies with this pop-up message: --- Windows Installer The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance. --- The only option is to click "OK". The screen doesn't have Icons or a start menu yet. I click "OK" and it comes up fine (with Icons and Start Menu) and I see the Configure your Server screen. I tried re-adding the GuiRunOnce command to the RunOnce registry and rebooted. It worked fine. So it's just on the initial boot... Maybe it's looking for a directory that doesn't exist yet (unhappy there's no profile yet? temp directory?)? Let me know if you have any ideas, I know WS2K isn't on the officially supported list, though.
