SYMPTOMS
On your computer when you run an unattended installation using a small computer system interface (SCSI) controller with a manufacturer's drives, you may receive the following error message:

Illegal or missing file types specified in section Files.SCSI.



CAUSE
This behavior may occur because the line in the Txtsetup.oem file under the [Files.SCSI. ] heading is not a supported file type for a SCSI. For example:

dll = (driver).dll



RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, you must remove the line in the Txtsetup.oem file. The dynamic-link library (DLL) file may be copied to the correct location of the installation by placing the DLL file in the I386\$Oem$\$$\OEMDIR folder.

(OEMDIR would be the destination folder where the file would normally be located, if installed to a running operating system. For example, INF files are normally found in the %SystemRoot%\INF folder, etc. The correct OEMDIR destination can be found by searching the INF file used to install the device or driver.)



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be an issue when you install some third-party SCSI drivers during an unattended installation.



MORE INFORMATION
DLL files are not used in most SCSI controller installations.
