I had a perfect autounattend.xml that worked with my previous installation (before slipstreamed sp1) but now it fails.

Does anyone have a template that works with sp1?

The answer files are identical. Are you sure its not a problem with your integrated source?

Make a new xml, and it will work fine.

</unattend>

The installation prozess runs fine, until it reaches the last step - finishing the installation. Sometimes, an error window occurs saying something like ".... cannot initialize interactive login window / procedure" (trying to translate it out of german), quitting everything. The other amount of tries, the system just reboots at that point, instantly. As test example, I try to get Firefox autoinstalled, during the setup process. When I only use all lines concerning "language, country, serial, EULA etc", the whole thing works just fine.

The file is created by copy & paste and I added the Firefox installation part in WAIK (newest for Vista SP1 / Server 2008). Does anyone see a problem in the xml, or has an example code snippet / xml file of "how to successfully have program x installed during windows setup ?" I read many guides, yet I cannot figure out why this is failing.

Thanks a lot in advance
Greetings from germany

I have the same problem, I have followed the guide but it seems it doesn't work with the vista sp1 from msdn (don't know for oem). I made a lot of tests because first i thought it was my file but i saw on the net that this procedure do not work with sp1. Everytime i tried when i reach the completing installation step... i got an error that appear very fast so i cannot read it and the computer turn off itself.

I made the followings modifications in the Autounattend file:

Microsoft-Windows-Deployment\Reseal [ ForceShutdownNow = false | Mode = Audit ] in oobeSystem

instead of this command

 %WINDIR%\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /quiet /audit

in Synchronous Command to Pass 4 specialize because this cause my computer to turn off during setup

then in AuditSystem pass, insert

Windows-Shell-Setup\Autologon

for the Administrator also

Windows-Shell-Setup\UserAccounts\AdministratorPassword

in the AuditSystem pass with the same password if set.

I didn't finish my test but like this my installation didn't get error. The only problem i had was to manually select my input local, recommend setting...at the end of the installation even if it was already in the xml file.
I need to find a way out

Hey,

nice to see a reply on this matter.

Mate, would you mind to post your full AutoUnattend.xml (without sensitive information like serial etc of course

)
in a codebox, so I can do some comparison to mine, for a better understanding ?

Thanks in advance

Good morning

I tried your changes so far - I don't get an error message, but my applications aren't installing either

Wish this would be a tad bit easier, for an oldie like me

I wanna thank you aswell mate, big time !

After some analysing of your file and additional info in another topic,
I finally understood the basics and structure of the unattend mechanism
and I finally made it to write my own, working one.

The rest now is just fine tuning / adding more funtionality to it.

Thanks once again

Here I am

Below I have attached my Unattend files. Thanks to Exhaler's (cheers mate) method of using two files for the routine,
it finally works as intended.

The AutoUnattend.xml finds itself in the root folder of the DVD. It contains:

- The WindowsPE pass with language and locale settings, name and organisation, the product key (1st time), accepts the EULA and picks my Vista version "Home Premium" (32Bit).
- The Specialize pass skipping auto activation and checking for the appsroot.txt (using the well known command)
- The OOBESystem pass to enter Audit Mode (by using Reseal - Thanks for that one Hannubys, that was the winning line ! )
- The AuditSystem pass for Administrator AutoLogin
- The AuditUser pass holding the arguments for numerous applications with "silent" command line switches (Firefox, Thunderbird and TotalCommander (packed with Winrar, SFX Archive (silent mode) )

The Unattend.xml goes to \install and contains:

- The OOBESystem pass to fill out user, system and country locales all again, the time zone, picks the network location, "ProtectYourPC" level, hides the EULA (again), fills in the serial (again, 2nd time) and creates a user "Sony" (with password).
- The Specialize pass for another time zone setting (maybe I can remove one of them, testing lateron)

The testing environment was virtual so far. I am using a vLited image (loads of stuff removed, SP1 slipstreamed aswell as all hotfixes and security updates "post" SP1. Also I included nForce chipset drivers) of Windows Vista SP1 x86 HomePremium. The installation was simulated in VirtualBox, a freeware VM by SUN. I got no errors so far and find myself on the logon screen with user "Sony" when everything is done. The initial login successfully loads up the desktop showing 3 links (Thunderbird, Firefox, TotalCommander), either of them working.

The only thing I actually have to do manually (on purpose) is to select the partition I want to install Vista onto, during the early setup. Exactly the way I always wanted to have this thing working.

Any feedback is much appreciated

I have followed SonyXp's guide and it worked like a charm, for installing the apps that is. Now i get an annoying window at the first boot after installation (and if I don't respond it's persistent)

Anyone knows what I'm doing wrong? I'm fairly new at making Unattended Installations btw (my first one was 2 months ago at school, a windows XP)

Here is the window:

Finally got myself some time to come back to this topic....

@teemue
try adding

%WINDIR%\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /generalize /quiet /oobe /reboot /unattend:%AppsRoot%\Install\Unattend.xml

instead of

%WINDIR%\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /quiet /oobe /reboot /unattend:%AppsRoot%\Install\Unattend.xml

to autounattend.xml
