WizardOfWoz Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Whenever I put my unattend.xml file in the root of the DVD, it always displays the dreaded "driver needed" screen. Without the XML fle it installs fine. What's even more wild is that I created it using the SIM in the ADK and it still does it. File is as follows:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> <settings pass="windowsPE"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <SetupUILanguage> <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage> </SetupUILanguage> <InputLocale>en-US</InputLocale> <SystemLocale>en-US</SystemLocale> <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage> <UserLocale>en-US</UserLocale> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <UserData> <ProductKey> <Key>XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX</Key> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> </ProductKey> <AcceptEula>true</AcceptEula> <FullName>XXX</FullName> </UserData> </component> </settings> <settings pass="specialize"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <InputLocale>en-US</InputLocale> <SystemLocale>en-US</SystemLocale> <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage> <UserLocale>en-US</UserLocale> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Deployment" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <RunSynchronous> <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Order>1</Order> <Path>reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v EnableFirstLogonAnimation /d 0 /t REG_DWORD /f</Path> <Description>Disable stupid touch tutorial</Description> </RunSynchronousCommand> <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Order>2</Order> <Path>reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\OOBE" /v MediaBootInstall /d 0 /t REG_DWORD /f</Path> </RunSynchronousCommand> <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Order>3</Order> <Path>cscript //B "%windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs" /rearm</Path> <Description>Reset activation status</Description> <WillReboot>Always</WillReboot> </RunSynchronousCommand> </RunSynchronous> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-IE-InternetExplorer" processorArchitecture="wow64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <DisableAccelerators>true</DisableAccelerators> <DisableFirstRunWizard>true</DisableFirstRunWizard> <DisableOOBAccelerators>true</DisableOOBAccelerators> <Home_Page>http://www.google.com</Home_Page> <PlaySound>false</PlaySound> <ShowInformationBar>false</ShowInformationBar> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-ErrorReportingCore" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <DisableWER>1</DisableWER> </component> </settings> <settings pass="oobeSystem"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <OOBE> <HideEULAPage>true</HideEULAPage> <NetworkLocation>Home</NetworkLocation> <ProtectYourPC>2</ProtectYourPC> </OOBE> <VisualEffects> <FontSmoothing>ClearType</FontSmoothing> <SystemDefaultBackgroundColor>14</SystemDefaultBackgroundColor> </VisualEffects> <RegisteredOwner>XXX</RegisteredOwner> <TimeZone>Central Standard Time</TimeZone> </component> </settings> <cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:d:/win8/source/sources/install.wim#Windows 8 Pro" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" /></unattend>Also, the initial language selection screen still shows (with the "Repair your computer" option).

myselfidem Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) Inside your Autounattend.xml file, you can change all values: To: "Change To:<Path>reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\OOBE" /v MediaBootInstall /d 0 /t REG_DWORD /f</Path>More help:http://technet.micro...WindowsSettingsMicrosoft-Windows-Security-SPP\SkipRearmFor most deployment scenarios, this setting is no longer needed.

I was needing to know this because I will be changing out my main HD for a SSD so keeping the amount of writes down on the drive helps me a ton. I just need to know what the exact syntax for this needs to be because the forum always butchers it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizardOfWoz Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 (edited) Yes. By default on an upgrade disc it's set to 1. Edited November 10, 2012 by WizardOfWoz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
