I'm having trouble getting my customized installation to be unattended, and during installation asks me about settings that I have specified in nLite. this is what it looks like when I install from .iso in VirtualBox. why does it do this or how can I fix it?

Did nLite generate a WINNT.SIF file, is it in your i386 folder, and if so, could you post that?

That's the Out of Box Experience (OOBE). To skip it, use the following in WinNT.sif:
