Hey everyone!

I've created a script where you enter in a little information and it creates the XML file for you. It's definitely a work in progress and it could use many more options but this will work fine for a unattended Vista installation. I plan to eventually get all of the different passes and components able to be customized on there.

Let me know what you think, and what could be done to make it better!

That looks great! One suggestion though - would it be possible for you to add join domain to the script?

Apart from that, it makes the 1gb WAIK seem useless!

@neon068. Great utility, would like to see more fields to propagate though.

@jchowland. Yes but that script only produces an xml, the waik does much more.

I can add languages very easily. Just let me know some I should add. I'll also see if I can work out the domain add in today.

I have no experience coding outside of the web. I know I could create something that would be command line driven via PHP but that's the extent of my coding talents. :} Unless someone knows how to do something, I could help out.


I linked most everything to the specific Microsoft page, System Restore, and Windows Sidebar.

I think it's for the WAIK to figure out which image source was used so it can reload the correct catalog (I could be wrong though). Not sure why it's been put in this script generator.


On a separate note, the script generates components with processorArchitecture="i386" but shouldn't it be x86? This is what WAIK generates anyway.

I always used the WIM file from the Vista CD and put it in the sysprep folder if setup needed extra drivers/files.

Also, even though i386 worked, x86 is the proper syntax and is now corrected. Thanks :)

So, the Offline Image Locater field should be tailored based upon the version we are installing, then? Seeing as I am using Ultimate, I should make that ULTIMATE instead of ENTERPRISE?

Yes that's correct. I'll add something there to make it easier to choose each different version.
