When i replaced it with the following it did work but i got a question which version Vista i wanted to install:

 
				<OSImage>
					<InstallFrom>
						<MetaData wcm:action="add">
							<Value>Windows Vista ULTIMATE</Value>
							<Key>1</Key>
						</MetaData>
					</InstallFrom>
				<WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI>
				<InstallToAvailablePartition>false</InstallToAvailablePartition>
				</OSImage> 

Do you perhaps have a idea how i can get around the box asking which to install?

Hello Yagermeister!

I can explain why you getting this box! This part here is wrong:

<InstallFrom>
	<MetaData wcm:action="add">
		<Value>Windows Vista ULTIMATE</Value>
		<Key>1</Key>
	</MetaData>
</InstallFrom>

This will cause an error and cause you use this setting here:

<WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI>

The whole User Interface of image selection is shown.


It has to be like described in guide:

<InstallFrom>
	<MetaData wcm:action="add">
		<Value>Windows Vista ULTIMATE</Value>
		<Key>IMAGE/NAME/</Key>
	</MetaData>
</InstallFrom>

Than you will not be asked, which Version you like to install!

I get the error while being at the disk configuration btw.

So what are you doing during disk configuration? Do you create new partitions? Do you format only?

@ maxX:

When you getting the error do you have the following Key present in your Registry?

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Device Installer\DebugPkgMgr

Value=1

I think i have a idea why it fails. Maybe its because the KEY part is in front of the name itself. That is the only reason why i can imagine that it goes wrong there.

The part where it goes wrong is the disk configuration itself no matter what i do or want todo. See the attached picture for the precise error.

[EDIT]
After changing the KEY part to what you said i still get the listbox asking which version to install :S

[EDIT2]
Found the error: you accidently added a / after /IMAGE/NAME/ and as far as i can tell from the created ones it isn't supposed to be there. Testing again now.

[EDIT3]
And yes the error was indeed the extra /. I also found out why i had the error and the solution is actually quite simple considering the WAIK messed up there.

The KEY part should be added after the VALUE and not before as it was made with my WAIK. Then the disk configuration seems to work just fine.

Hello Yagermeister,

You're right, the "\" at the end was one to many, sorry for that. But that's explained right inside guide.

However the problem is very strange. Sure it makes sense to have the key setting in front of the value. But I had unattended files where such a thing hapened, too, but setup was just running fine. But at least I wonder about nothing dealing with computers and software.

However it's strange!

Thanks for your feedback!

A extra letter can always happen like you said on your website aswell. I do find the solution strange aswell as you would say that it would just skip it or read back whenever its needed. It would be handy if you put it as a extra note on the website just in case someone is getting the same error.

You're right unfortunatly. But these are the kind of errors, which can drive you nuts.

I give my best to avoid. But if you read over your "own stuff", you're not able to detect some errors sometimes.

I will do so later!

Hi,

i followed your guidelines and started the install. It still asks for the Serial number as if it couldnt find the Unattended.xml file.
I tried it on cd and on usb stick. I checked the tutorial and my dvd twice and it seems allright

any ideas why ?

Here is how i have it and this works just fine:

 
            <UserData>
                <ProductKey>
                    <Key>Enter key here with the - in between</Key>
                    <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI>
                </ProductKey>
                <AcceptEula>true</AcceptEula>
                <FullName>Gebruiker</FullName>
                <Organization>Eigen</Organization>
            </UserData>

If you would have followed the guide the name of your answer file should be Autounattend.xml. No other name will work automatically.

If you should have named it Autounattend.xml already, have you tried to put it in sources folder, too?

How is your target system is looking like? VM? Real computer?

[airmr]

Hi,

i have probably named it autounattend.xml just wrote it wrong in the post
but ill check.

I havent tried the source folder version yet, will do that tonight. Ill let you know asap if that works.

Im testing with a burned dvd and a real pc <-- old fashioned but more fualt resistant

@Yager ill try your config file and see if i have something wrong in mine.

Thnx for the quick answers.

First I was doing it from XP and the reg key don't exist. I didn't have WAIK on because I'm only using the Servicing folder.
I'll boot into Vista and get the whole keys and maybe point it at my Servicing folder and give it a try.

EDIT: Nope that key don't exist in Vista for me after I installed AIK

Hello maxX!

Please add this key to the registry and try it again.

The type is REG_DWORD.

Martin

EDIT:
Have added a description of the whole Regedit procedure to the guide (Injecting drivers...)

After you mentioned the reg key I remembered I had crossed that road before so went lookin in the waik.chm and found it. Its logging now even for my Hotfixes so I can look at what MS does there also.

[FireGeier]

You're right maxXPsoft! It's described in WAIK.chm. My mistake. This part got lost by any of the copy and paste procedures to build the guide.

Sorry for that!

Martin

[FireGeier]

I've updated the Guide. Available now:

2. Installing Tools
3. Prepare Lab System
4. VU Batch Modules

Furthermore the Updates section is including the batch now.

Do you use an empty HD?

What are you doing during Disc Configuration exactly?

How many HDs you've inside your system? Could you please post your actual Autounattend.xml, too? Without Product Key certainly.

Hello!

I've updated the offline_update.cmd of VU Batch Modules. It was failing on English based OS and may be on other languages, too.

I've changed it, that it will now working for English OS by default but you may need to adjust it for other languages.

Check out here inside offline_update.cmd to find out more about.
