Hi,
I 'm trying to create a silent install package for IIS6 on XP SP3 machines.
I want to distribute this with Altiris to a lot of machines that need it for
a custom application.
Every machine has i386 on the c-drive and the sourcepath points to that
folder:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]
"SourcePath"="C:\\I386"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup]
"SourcePath"="C:\\I386"
"ServicepackSourcePath"="C:\\I386"
"Installation Sources"="C:\\I386"

The silent setup starts with this command:
Sysocmgr.exe /i:sysoc.inf /u:iis60config.txt /r /q

Still it asks for the Windows XP cd because Windows File Protection kicks in.
Any way to stop asking for the cd and use c:\i386 instead?
 
What makes you think IIS6 will work on XP?

It does work on XP if you install it through Add/Remove Programs - Windows
Components.
 
Jeremy Pemberton was thinking very hard :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup]
"SourcePath"="C:\\I386"
"ServicepackSourcePath"="C:\\I386"
"Installation Sources"="C:\\I386"
Click to expand...

Try without the I386-part of the folder.
IIRC the SourcePath/ServicepackSourcePath is used to define the path to
a CD-drive, i.e. the system adds the I386-part internally.

Btw, I doubt it very much if the "Installation Sources" is used when
adding/removing components.
