Install Issues with WDS 2.65 Enterprise Via SMS 2003

I am attempting to build an SMS package to automate install on 2000 XP sp2 machines.

The command line I am calling is WindowsDesktopSearch-kb911993-V2-x86-ENU.exe /quiet

runs with SMS admin privelages and no reboot is set

WDS installs then pops up a Send error to Microsoft report

Once the user reboots WDS runs fine.

A little about the environment , The group policy WDS template is in effect with only the no run customization wizards selected as off.

I had various problems keeping that wizard quiet so I in acted the command line switch during the install for testing

The error that is popping up immediatly after install via sms is:

WindowsSearch.exe - Application Error

The exception Breakpoint

A breakpoint has been reached

(0x80000003) occured in the application at location 0x7c901230

I am really stuck with this issue.

Do any of the developers have any recommendations?

Duncan,

It looks like you are using group policy to prevent the customization wizard from running. If you are doing this you should also set the /WDSNOLAUNCH flag in the installation. Please let me know if this works for you.
