Windows Vista and above use an entirely re-written installer running on WinPE 2.x which is largely the problem that is being faced. From what I understand, WinPE 1.x was far more stripped back than WinPE 2.x which Vista/7 uses for the OS loader for the installer. The reason 64-bit likely isn¹t working is you¹d need a 64-bit build of the tools used for unattended (FreeDOS and friends). Unfortunately, far as I know, there is no build of those tools for 64-bit mode. -- Gary L. Greene, Jr. IT Operations Minerva Networks, Inc. Cell: (650) 704-6633 Phone: (408) 240-1239
