Can anyone tell me how I can launch unattend.xml from within startnet.cmd?

I've written a unattend.xml which I keep in a non-standard directory, I'd like to call the xml file from within startnet.cmd.

When I try to launch it it doesn't know how to handle the file and suggests opening it with Notepad.

Thanks

Unattend.xml, or any similarly named .xml file, in the context of setting up or installing an OS is an answer file. This is used by Setup.exe or Sysprep.exe to provide the answers needed to install the OS in the manner you want, automatically without prompting the user for the answers.

From Startnet.cmd you would typically launch setup.exe or sysprep.exe with the unattend.xml file specified as a parameter. The help information for these programs can give you information on them. You would not launch unattend.xml directly.
