[SOLVED] AutoUnattend auto-restarting

**biatche** · November 15, 2009

Goal: Trying to have everything unattended except disk partitioning. This I wanna do manually. Issue occurs around pass=winPE/"Microsoft-Windows-Setup"/key where I enter the license key. Removing the <key></key> line there brings up the UI where I select the edition of Win7 I wish to install, and then I do the disk partitioning after that. So what's wrong with my xml? How do I get directly to disk partitioning.

Maybe try this

<WillShowUI>Never</WillShowUI>

</ProductKey>

Otherwise you could integrate your key into your WIM (via DISM command), either way should keep the GUI from showing.

EDIT: Not sure why you have two key blocks ?? I'd get rid of the upper-most one.

<Key>xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx</Key>
<Value>Windows 7 ULTIMATE</Value>
</MetaData>
</InstallFrom>
<WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI>
</OSImage>
</ImageInstall>
<UserData>
<AcceptEula>true</AcceptEula>
<FullName>User</FullName>
<Organization>Home</Organization>
<ProductKey>
<Key>xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx</Key>
<WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI>
</ProductKey>
