You can use the Setup Manager Wizard to create an answer file. The wizard provides an easy way to create an answer file without having to know the proper syntax for each Setup option. The Setup Manager Wizard prompts you for typical installation options and then creates an answer file based on your responses.
| Note: The Setup Manager Wizard is found in the Support Directory on the product CD. Tools in the Support directory are supported by Microsoft. There are other deployment tools available in the Resource Kit; however, Resource Kit tools are not supported by Microsoft.
Extracting the Deployment Tools from the Windows XP Professional CD To install the Setup Manager Wizard from the Windows XP Professional compact disc, you must first extract the files from the CD. To do so, perform the following steps: Create a folder named Deploy at the root of the system drive. For example, C:\Deploy. Click Start, click Run, in the Open box, type drive:\Support\Tools\Deploy.cab (where drive is the location of the Windows XP Professional compact disc), and then click OK. Select all of the files, right-click one of the selected files, and then click Extract. Select the Deploy folder that you created, and then click Extract.
