Windows 7 won't get past "checking video performance"

I have created my unattended setup disk using RT 7 Lite and 7Customizer. Everything works in VMWare with no problems, and I get a complete install to the desktop. However, After taking those same files and adding my WPI to the root of the folder, The installation hangs at "Checking Video Performance" before even going to the desktop. Both the WPI and the unattended setup work individually, but won't seem to work together. I downloaded the Vista/ Server 2008/ Window 7 setupcomplete file, and added it to the sources folder as per the instructions.

To help with this problem, I am including a copy of both my config.js file and Autounattend.xml file.

Hello,

i have the same problem, but only if i want to install WPI over a network share.
WPI on my DVD/USB works fine.

How does your "setupcomplete.cmd" looks like, can you post it?

here is my "setupcomplete.cmd" wich doesnt work to install wpi from network share:

reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\NetworkLocationWizard" /v HideWizard /t REG_DWORD /d 00000001 /f

net use Z: \\192.168.x.xxx\DEPLOY

Start z:\WPI\wpi.exe

I tried also to connect via Net Use with Username and Password, but no change - same freeze.

When i run WPI from DVD/USB with the following "setupcomlete.cmd" it works fine.

for %%i in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%i:\sources\install.wim set CDROM=%%i:

reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\NetworkLocationWizard" /v HideWizard /t REG_DWORD /d 00000001 /f

Start %cdrom%\WPI\wpi.exe

del %0

Thanks for your help
