Creating an Answer File

Creating an Answer File
To create an answer file, open the Windows Setup Manager Wizard (Setupmgr.exe) and follow
its prompts. Most of the wizard’s dialog boxes are self-explanatory, with fill-in-the-blank forms
that match up neatly with questions that are familiar to anyone who has interactively run Setup
from the Windows XP CD. If this is the first time you’re using the wizard, you’ll probably want
to create a new answer file and designate it for a Windows unattended installation. If you
already have an answer file and you need to change one or more details in that file (such as the
product key or computer name), choose the Modify An Existing Answer File
