Hi, could someone please have a look over my Autounattend file, as I seem to fail to install at the Completing Installation stage.

Thank You.

Dunno but you seem to have many unnecessary or blank fields in your xml? Did you use the waik/wsim tools to produce this? If so is it the latest version?
Did you use the help function truly is a great guide in populating the fields?
My advice is to start off with the basics & once mastered then include more...just my opinion.

Hi, I used the latest WSIM, and created a basic Autounattend, and it worked fine, so thought I'd add more bits, getting help from the "Unattended Windows Setup Reference".

Not sure about the many blank, and unnecessary fields, I can only see a few blank ones, but then I'm new to this, so I'm more likely not seeing it.


Thanks for your help.

Those are blanks. also redo this and remove the blank space
cpi" />

[Nurple]

Yeah, those were the bits I noticed, I've removed them, and will do the other bit you mention, and will try it again.

I did do it all with WSIM, so does that mess up sometimes ?, like adding that space in cpi" />, and can blanks make the install fail?, I just stupidly assumed it would ignore them, that will teach me.


Thank you.

No go, tried it again without the blanks, and the space, but still fails, so I'm going to try it again adding a bit at a time.

Thanks for the help, I shan't bother bugging you any more I gotta learn myself.

Update:

I know I wasn't going to say anything else, but I redid it all again, but left out the ip/dns bits, and it worked fine, but when I added that back it failed in the same place, so gotta be one of them two messing me up, will try and find out what it is I'm doing wrong.

Finally got it all working.

Thanks.

[MAVERICKS CHOICE]

That's great news how did you overcome it?

[maxXPsoft]

good you got it going but what was wrong?

Yes WSIM screw the files up sometimes like that.

[Nurple]

To be honest I'm not to sure, I kept looking over my working xml, and the old one, but apart from different ips, and identifiers, I can't see what's different.

This is the working section;

These Vista UA installs can be very much like that at times.
