laddanator Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 XP Home does not use Mini-Setup option and the sysprep.inf will not load the unattended stuff. Pro works fine. Been a long time since I used sysprep for Home. How do you unattend the process for Home? oobeinfo.ini? Need the product key to be entered automatically.

Kelsenellenelvian Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 AFAIK that feature\features were never implemented in XP Home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laddanator Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 AFAIK that feature\features were never implemented in XP Home.I never understood why MS treated XP Home like the red head stepchild and Pro got all the goods. I was reading you could use a Winbom.ini to automate the process but not sure how to make one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Ummm maybe because MOST home users DO NOT use any of the features in Pro?Thus allowing MS to offer a cheaper home friendly version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the diff between Home and Pro. Kinda sucks the Mini-Setup option was left out of Home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laddanator Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 Found it. If you use Sysprep with Home...add the product key and your tweaks to the Oobeinfo.ini file and you got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
