1. On installing a PC with Windows XP and using the
ie6.bat (q330994.EXE) I get the message :
This update requires Outlook 6.0 Service Pack 1 to be
installed.
And I have to click to continue the installation.
What did I do wrong ?
2. I added the script( see below - which I found here)
to site\config.pl.
After booting I can select what I want to do. It worked
for my with 4.4b but now with 4.5 after selecting 4
(Whole disk c:)
I get the error: No extended partition found for logical
partition at /z/dosbin/install.pl line 531.
3. There is surely somewhere on this site update about the script which came
with the unattend install, like patch updates, new script and so on. But I didn’t
find it.
Thanks in advance for any help
I'm a real dummy with script like this.
