Cannot get client to successfully run unattend.txt

[netwerkassist]

I have set up an unattended install of XP on one server. When i connect
from the client I get "The setup script does not contain a valid Product
ID..... I included a key in the unattended, so not sure if its my syntax or
script.

Here's my info

unattend.bat

@rem SetupMgrTag
@echo off

rem
rem This is a SAMPLE batch script generated by the Setup Manager Wizard.
rem If this script is moved from the location where it was generated, it may
have to be modified.
rem

set AnswerFile=.\unattend.txt
set SetupFiles=\\bluesky-nt1\SHARE\I386

\\bluesky-nt1\SHARE\I386\winnt32 /s:%SetupFiles% /unattend:%AnswerFile%

I am guessing that you ommitted the actual PID? If not, then yes it is invalid.

If you are actually using a valid PID, where did the source files come from...meaning, did the source come from the same CD that the PID is for?? There are differences in the PID's depending on the CD....upgrade, volume, select, and so on.
