automated install still prompts

i'm trying to automate the installation of 98se. i'm using the following
command line:

setup /is /nr /IW a:\msbatch.inf

it prompts me for a user name, even though one is provided in my msbatch.inf
file. it also asks me to accept the license agreement even though i used the
/IW switch. finally it prompts for the key even though it's also in the
msbatch.inf. (in the user name and key cases, the values are display
correctly in the dialog boxes - all i have to do is hit "next".) how do i
get this to continue automatically? Below's the msbatch.inf I'm using.

thanks

I think the msbatch.inf needs to be the first command line option.

e.g.
setup a:\msbatch.inf /is /nr /IW
