Ok just inserted that key into the edited xml. Will remake the iso now & test.
So it will just be a matter of contacting my MS digital supplier for a replacement key later when Ive have this down pat?

Setupact.log attached.

Setup still not behaving how it should my answer file?

1.Still asks to confirm W8Prox64!! (Only one image in wim)!
2. Asks to accept Eula!!
3. Confirm partition info!!

All above info is included in xml!!

However following confirmation of the above 3 items unattended install works exactly how it should as per my answer file!

didn't redo your image did you?
IBS Callback_Productkey_Validate_Unattend:Product Key found in pid.txt < I said remove this and ei.cfg from your sources and reburn in other post
And this no good
CallBack_Cleanup: Attempting to remove protection from archived directory [C:\Windows.old.000]
Need the <WillWipeDisk>true</WillWipeDisk>
In VM you may have to start over to wipe it completely
Because this is what happens'
Found unattend file at [C:\Windows\Panther\unattend.xml]
Reusing xml from previous attempts

Hi Max

If I remove the pid.txt from sources It gives the dreaded "cannot read product key"
I have done many reinstalls using new VM's
When I receive the above "cannot read product key" if I try to shift F10 to access either setuperr.log
or setupact.log gives access denied!
I do have "will wipe disk true" in the xml, same ans file I posted on page one of this thread.

I used your first xml and put my key in and it starts right away installing after I discard VirtualBox VM and start fresh.
The one I modified for you MAVERICKS CHOICEAutounattend.xml removing some things out of place works also here

Apparently your image is messed up?
should not have this C:\Windows.old

Did you use an upgrade key and then capture the disk for your image? It sure looks so.

I exported an original W8prox64 image from a wim & used a W8 test key as page one to install.
Noticed that key is now invalid, probably why I require the pid.txt in Sources to have a partial UA install!
