When you attempt an unattended upgrade of Windows NT 4.0 to Windows 2000, you receive:

The specified Setup script file (unattend.txt) is inaccessible or invalid.Contact your system administrator.

NOTE: This error occurs with winnt32 /unattend:unattend.txt.

You are missing the UnattendMode=FullUnattended parameter in the unattend.txt file:

   [Unattended]   NTUpgrade=Yes   UnattendMode=FullUnattended   [UserData]   ProductID="xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx"
