I found this info, but it is not completely relevant, as I am not upgrading from nt4,although I hace tried to install a few times. Can anyone tell me what the "unattended answer file" is and where to find it? <P>ref : Q210888 <P>Err Msg: Line of the Inf Is Corrupt or Invalid... <P>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: <P>Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Microsoft Windows 2000 Server -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS During an unattended upgrade from Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 to Windows 2000, you may receive the following error message <P>Line nnnn of the Inf is corrupt or invalid.
