  Nothing happens when I attempt to install IIS with pkgmgr.exe Reply Contact  Hey guys, I'm attempting to put together a standard build for our IIS 7 servers and the process is proving to be a bit more difficult to get working than it was with IIS 6.  I've followed the instructions on IIS.net located HERE .  Actually I just copied/pasted the unattend file they have their, but made sure to change the system build number to match my server.  I then right click on command prompt--->Run as administrator.  Once I'm in the command prompt I attempt to run: start /w pkgmgr /n:D:\IISBuild\unattend.xml  The problem is after hitting enter, NOTHING happens.  The cursor just goes to the next line in the command window.  What am I missing here?  Thanks guys.

Search log for pkgmgr with your unattend command. I would expect an error in your unattend.xml file if command exits that quickly. Henry Seiler IIS Deployment

  Re: Nothing happens when I attempt to install IIS with pkgmgr.exe Reply Contact Ok now I just went to start run--->inetmgr and the IIS manager comes up, so obviously it did install.  I'm confused though....does the unattended install not show you progress like the old version did?  It just installs it in the background and you have to assume when it is finished?  Thanks for any info you can provide.

  Re: Nothing happens when I attempt to install IIS with pkgmgr.exe Reply Contact  1) When installing via command line there is no UI, you can check status from pkgmgr by inspecting return code: echo %errorlevel% The erro code in CBS log file 0x800f0805 is  "The package is not valid." This  probable implies there is an error in your unattend.xml file. Please paste it in your next reply. Henry Seiler IIS Deployment
