maxXPsoft Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 remove the <InstallToAvailablePartition>false</InstallToAvailablePartition>what you have should work but you could try this <MetaData wcm:action="add"> <Key>/IMAGE/Index</Key> <Value>1</Value> </MetaData> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DosProbie Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 i've tried to create an autounattend.xml file, works largely, but i have to choose Windows 8 or Windows 8 Pro in a little popup box, anybody knows how to get it to install just the Pro version.any help would be much appreciated.P.S. this XML i created from a guide i found online, i have no need to slim anything, just to get it to unattend install.This is a dual 32/64 that I use works perfect and without ei.cfg, It Only shows the Windows 8 Pro X64 edition that you want then goes to format/partition then no more nag screens and straight to Metro.You can revise as needed with language, time zone, user name etc..Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
