How to Use the Windows Setup Manager to Create an Answer File<br />

Windows Setup Manager provides a straightforward wizard interface. To create an<br />

answer file for a fully automated installation by using Windows Setup Manager, use<br />

these steps:<br />

1. In Windows Explorer, locate the folder where you extracted Windows Setup<br />

Manager (setupmgr.exe). Double-click setupmgr.exe.<br />

Windows XP Professional starts the Windows Setup Manager Wizard.<br />

2. Click Next.<br />

The New Or Existing Answer File page appears.<br />

3. Ensure that the Create A New Answer File is selected, and then click Next.<br />

The Windows Setup Manager Wizard displays the Product To Install page, which<br />

provides the following three options:<br />

❑ Windows Unattended Installation<br />

❑ Sysprep Install<br />

❑ Remote Installation Services<br />

4. Ensure that Windows Unattended Installation is selected, and then click Next.<br />

The Windows Setup Manager Wizard displays the Platform page.<br />

5. Ensure that Windows XP Professional is selected, and then click Next.<br />

The Windows Setup Manager Wizard displays the User Interaction Level page,<br />

shown in Figure 3-2, which has the following five options:<br />

❑ Provide Defaults. The answers you provide in the answer file are the default<br />

answers that the user sees. The user can accept the default answers or change<br />

any of the answers supplied by the script.<br />

❑ Fully Automated. The installation is fully automated. The user does not have<br />

the chance to review or change the answers supplied by the script.<br />

❑ Hide Pages. The answers provided by the script are supplied during the installation.<br />

Any page for which the script supplies all answers is hidden from the<br />

user, so the user cannot review or change the answers supplied by the script.<br />

❑ Read Only. The script provides the answers, and the user can view the<br />

answers on any page that is not hidden, but the user cannot change the<br />

answers.<br />

❑ GUI Attended. The text-mode portion of the installation is automated, but<br />

the user must supply the answers for the graphical user interface (GUI) mode<br />

portion of the installation.

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.
