SYMPTOMS
When you install the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack in unattended
mode, several parameters documented in Unattend.txt do not work:
- Components are copied to their default locations no matter what you
specify.
- CiCatalogPath in section [indexsrv]: Catalog is created under
inetpub\Catalog.wci.
- PathPROGRoot in section [iis]: IIS 4.0 components are copied to
%windir%\system32\inetsrv.
- Drivers are installed although you specified that they not be
installed. For example, if you set DAC_DRV_SQLSRV = OFF, the SQL ODBC
driver is nevertheless installed.
WORKAROUND
Install the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack manually and choose
Custom Mode to set the parameters as needed.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack
version 1.0.
