Unattended IIS Installation

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

I am in the process of writing a configuration script for a windows 2003
server. Part of this script installs and configures an ftp server in IIS. On
the most part the script works fine, but Iâ??m a little stuck on a detail.
Essentially I need to get the script to tell windows that the I386 folder
(required for the install) is available the local machine i.e. C:\I386\ and I
donâ??t want the installation to ask for the windows CD, I was hoping that I
would be able to use:
[Unattended]
InstallFilesPath=â??C:\i386\â??
But that doesnâ??t work, Iâ??ve also tried to change the registry to point at
the c drive, but that failed just as badly. Is there a way that this can be
done?
Thanks for any help,
Rob

Yup, unattend IIS installation works via the commandline.

According to documentation, InstallFilesPath has nothing to do with Optional
Components install (it is used far earlier in the install process), so not
certain what you were hoping for... it most likely did not happen.

I have no idea where in the registry you were trying to change, but the
registry keys that change where Windows looks for a file are:
"HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\SourcePath"
"HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\ServicePackSourcePath"

And you set them both to C:\I386 (best if you produced a SP slip-stream
installpoint at C:\i386)
