After many tests. I see that it's needed to set (for x86 and amd64):

<ImageInstall>
<OSImage>
<WillShowUI>Always</WillShowUI>

1) Because on a 64 bits computer if this value is OnError, the Windows 7 x86 is installed automatically.

We need to choose between x86 or x64 bits versions. To do this, change this value like above for x86 and amd64 inside Autounattend.xml file.

2) Check if you have removed all catalogs files and ie.cfg file inside %DVD%\sources

3) Name your file: Autounattend.xml

4) <PlainText>true</PlainText> (or false: lowercase letter)


I've updated my post about to display the image installation user interface (UI):

Always: Specifies that the UI is always displayed.

Like this your Autounattend.xml file will be good!

Hey mate I am getting the same error which I have mentioned here: http://www.msfn.org/...post__p__961039
I have already checked you have already changed this "Microsoft-Windows-Security-Licensing-SLC-UX." to "Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP-UX" in the xml which you have given to me.

OK! But it's not the same problem.
I've updated my post #126 above with a new Autounattend.xml (x86 and amd64) for you!

The trouble was that no empty space (gap) are supported for the computer_name, I renamed "Win7_Vaio". But you can change if you want, of course!
Thanks to tell if you have errors! I've tested with my settings and all is fine!

Hi all,

I've 2 quesions

1) It is possible to merge 2 command line in the same SynchronousCommand?

                <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> 
                  <Order>2</Order> 
                  <Description>Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool 3.18.4804.0</Description> 
                  <CommandLine>cmd /C start /wait c:\Install\windows-kb890830-v3.18.exe /Q</CommandLine> 
                </SynchronousCommand> 

               <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> 
                  <Order>3</Order> 
                  <Description>Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool 3.18.4804.0 delta</Description> 
                  <CommandLine>cmd /C start /wait c:\Install\windows-kb890830-v3.18-delta.exe /Q</CommandLine> 
                </SynchronousCommand> 

to merge like

                <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> 
                  <Order>2</Order> 
                  <Description>Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool 3.18.4804.0</Description> 
                  <CommandLine>cmd /C start /wait c:\Install\windows-kb890830-v3.18.exe /Q</CommandLine> 
                  <CommandLine>cmd /C start /wait c:\Install\windows-kb890830-v3.18-delta.exe /Q</CommandLine> 
                </SynchronousCommand>  

2) At Win7 installation start, It ask for the partition (in my case System, Primary Logical) where to install Windows (see here image bellow).
What the System partition (100MB) used for?
Can I ignore it?
How to parameter Autounattend.xml to ignore that System partition (100MB)?

Don't think you can combine that but I haven't tried.
Might do this. max length is 1024 characters. Notice the | <CommandLine>cmd /C start /wait c:\Install\windows-kb890830-v3.18.exe /Q | start /wait c:\Install\windows-kb890830-v3.18-delta.exe /Q</CommandLine>

If you use Bitlocker you need the 100mb.
You can wipe out part2 and extend the 100mb out. I'm guessing part3 is a backup location?

TNX maxXPsoft for yr help,

If I well understand the commandLine will looks like bellow. Isn't it?

                <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">  
                  <Order>2</Order>  
                  <Description>Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool 3.18.4804.0</Description>  
                  <CommandLine>cmd /C start /wait c:\Install\windows-kb890830-v3.18.exe /Q | start /wait c:\Install\windows-kb890830-v3.18-delta.exe /Q</CommandLine>  
                </SynchronousCommand> 

Regarding the partitions, the part 3 (logical) is for my silent progs test.
Anyway I never used Bitlocker before and don't think using it once.
Then, to wipe part1 (system) do the following is correct?

<DiskConfiguration>

  <Disk wcm:action="add">
    <DiskID>0</DiskID> 
    <WillWipeDisk>true</WillWipeDisk> 
    <CreatePartitions>

      <!-- System partition -->
      <CreatePartition wcm:action="add">
        <Order>1</Order> 
        <Extend>false</Extend> 
        <Type>Primary</Type> 
        <Size></Size> 
      </CreatePartition>

  </Disk>
  <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> 
</DiskConfiguration>

Regards

You will have to test that I have never tried. I call a cmd file and run everything from it one at a time in Synchronous

http://www.msfn.org/...post__p__944849
covers 2 partitions. I think you want 2? If not extend 1 to end

TNX again maxXPsoft,

May you please give an exapmle how looks yr cmd file in Synchronous?

Regards

[maxXPsoft]

depends where you want to do things and if a User is loaded or not. Since I copy Install folder by using OEM this works
I do most in FirstLogonCommands

            <FirstLogonCommands>
                <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">
                    <Order>1</Order>
                    <Description>Password Expires False</Description>
                    <CommandLine>cmd /C wmic useraccount where "name='MYUSERNAME'" set PasswordExpires=FALSE</CommandLine>
                </SynchronousCommand>
                <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">
                    <Order>2</Order>
                    <Description>Running FirstLog.cmd</Description>
                    <CommandLine>cmd /C start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\FirstLog.cmd</CommandLine>
                </SynchronousCommand>
            </FirstLogonCommands>

Hi,

Finally I'm quite happy with my Autounattend.xml. Everything works just fine

However, I noticed since always, that Windows Post Install Wizard (cmd order 7) start installing the progs before all addons and cmd files in Synchronous has installation completed.
Is there anyhow to correct that

you can make a cmd wait but not the program you are calling CDVD-Switcher.exe. The things you call must be able to do that on their own. apparently Switcher.exe is calling other things that don't wait on initial cmd
I don't use wpi so can't help with it

I wrote the here attaced AutoIt script for CDVD-Switcher.exe to enable me passing from the first DVD (Win7) to the next (progs), then it launch WPI.

Do you thing I've to add sleep (wait) before launching WPI and that's it?
BTW, I'm not much familiar with cmd. May you write a cmd wait for me?
