Using Answer File and UDF Values During Setup

During Setup, keys and values are substituted between the answer file and the

UDF, depending on the following scenarios:

S If a key is specified in the answer file but not in the UDF, the value

specified in the answer file is used.

/ If a key is not specified in the answer file but is

specified in the UDF, the

value specified in the UDF is used.

S If a key is specified in the answer file and also referenced by the unique ID

in the UDF, the value specified in the UDF is used.

/ If a key is not specified in the answer file and is specified in the UDF, but

the value is left blank, no value will be used for that paranie ter. This might

result in the user being prompted for the information.

S If a section or key is used in the UDF, but there is no section or key with

that name in the answer file, Setup will create and use the UDF section.

For morę information about substituting sections, keys, and values

between the answer file and the UDF, see the Microsoft Windows XP

ProfessionalResource Kit, and the Help files in the

¥¥Tools¥Deploy.cab folder

on the Windows XP Professional compact disc.
