According to this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896334

There is no known way to install windows x64 from dos.



You have to install from CD, an other windows x64 OS, or Remote Installation Services.

You can’t even install from 32 bit windows so no wine.



We should see how RIS works.

I have taken a look at this and have come close to getting it to work.  Here is what I did.
In the unattended file, I changed all references to i386 to AMD64, that is the directory
where the install files are now located.  I changed the name of the file to run from
winnt to winnt32.    In the WinMedia.pl module, I addded a condition al in the new functions to test for the AMD 64
directory, if it is there, the I set an osDir variable to "amd64",  I then replaced all
occurances of i386 with this variable(in this case it is set to "amd64").  

This seems to work up to the point where dosemu  tries to run the winnt32.exe program.  It gives a message
saying "something like "Cannot run this executable on this platform".  I guess the dosemu free dos will not run a 32
bit application.  

Anyone know how to get dosemu or some other DOS emulator to run winnt32.exe.    Looks like we need an updated
version of dosemu, or a windows emulator.  According to the micrisoft web site, winn32.exe will not run from a dos shell, but will run fro a windows shell.  

Any suggestions on how to get an updated emulator in here would be appreciated.

Tom
