The problem is the Disk configuration screen never appears.

<InstallToAvailablePartition>false</InstallToAvailablePartition>
<WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI>

Remove <InstallToAvailablePartition>
Change <WillShowUI> to Always

Thanks. No change though. Disk configuration screen still doesn't appear. Strangely when I try running it on my physical system rather than vmware the Disk configuration screen does appear. Disk configuration screen shows up in VMware on non unattended iso though, just not if AUTOUNATTEND.XML is present.

I guess this is as good a place as any to ask a couple of questions about this install method.

My problem is that I purchased a Vista Ultimate *Upgrade* - and the requirements for upgrading are simple - you need to have an OS previously installed to upgrade.

Only problem is that I do not want to have to build an XP install that will set up things like my directory structure and whatnot *before* I upgrade to Vista. I already tried to upgrade my nLite XP SP2 (with modified directory structures) and Vista would not let me do it, preferring a clean install only. I finally gave up, reinstalled a basic XP, installed SP2, and upgraded to Vista.<br /><br />Using this guide, can I:

1) Leave out my product key so that Vista will install in trial mode (even if it asks me for a key, making the install an 'attended' install, I don't care - read the rest for reason) so that I can go abck and do it again as an upgrade and use my upgrade key?

2) Since my main purpose is to build a Vista install that will allow me to place different directories (paths) on different partitions, is this guide even applicable for me? I do not want the headache of moving directories from *inside* Vista as that is just too complicated, and a waste of time, because I am in effect bootstrapping the system after the system is installed....

3) If there is an easier easier way to accomplish this will someone point me to it (again, not to accomplish this post-boot, but during the install process)? I don't care to incorporate apps and such (other than possibly certain drivers, like my ATI Radeo driver and my RealTek Audio and NIC drivers) because those change so often that it is useless for me to incorporate it now, only to have to rebuild a DVD in a months time....

I created an Unattended setup but I wanna remove the x64bit versions from my WIM file how to do that I just wanna leave all x86 editions (eg : Homebasic,homepremium,starter,ultimate,Buisness,BuisnessCN,etc..) in the image .. coz my image ended up bigger than 4GB ...

[FireGeier]

Hello nokia!

You can use imagex /delete to remove the vista64 images from your wim file.

Syntax:

imagex /delete PathToYourWimFile ImageNumber

PathToYouWimFile: This entry points to the wim file you want to delte images from.

ImageNumber: This is the index number of the image you want to delet inside your wim file.
To find out which Image number belongs to which image use imagex /info (e.g.: imagex /info d:\VistaSource\install.wim).


Example:

imagex /delete d:\VistaSource\install.wim 4

This will delete the image with index number 4 of install.wim inside d:\VistaSources directory.

Note:
WAIK help says the imagex /delete command should run from a WindowsPE 2.0 system, but I would expect, that it's running from under XP or Vista OS ,too. But keep in mind if you should have problems to execute the command.

Regards,
Martin

I try this solution only too have it reboot after the WnPE Blue screen no popup box nothing. What can be the issue .

Happens in either DVD or USB mode.

Hello Ozzie!

What are you trying exactly?

I follow ya instruction on how too install (Raid) drivers from a removable USB stick to a tea , very simple if ya ask me , but when the system reboots and boots off the USB and load WinPE then the blue screen comes up for about a minute or more . Then it simple reboots and goes through the whole processes again , into a loop.
If I intergrate the raid drivers into the boot.wim and install.wim there is no problem .

Cheers Andrew

Really nice guide. Thanks FireGeier.

There are a few grammar issues which I can fix if you want me to.

Other than that the only glaring issue was on adding drivers from media step 5 contains a <br> that probably shouldn't be there e.g.

imagex /unmount /commit D:\VistaWork\Mount<br>

Hello Dobby!

Thanks, for your feedback!

Yes, you're right. I've to apologise for the bad English. So any help with the grammar would be highly appreciated.

imagex /unmount /commit D:\VistaWork\Mount<br>

Thanks, for pointing that out!

[Justas]

Great guide! Much better then ones that M$ has to offer.

[kentk]

Really great guide Martin ! (http://firegeier.una...en/sitemap.html)

I have tried the section "Install drivers from USB or DVD" and have some questions:

1. Step2, why image 2 and not image 1 that are stated as PE ?

2. Step4 inside the file SetDriversRoot.cmd, why X:\setup ? (also a small miss spelling in the header "Creating the SetDirversRoot.cmd" )

3. In your german guide you mention FWDT.exe in "Schritt 5" but not in the english version ? why ?

4. Is this the place to present AHCI drivers for vista so it can be used during boot, PE is the first moment in installation so it should be..or?

5. You dont mention what to do with the Autounattend.xml file created/edited, I assume I have to save it and use it in install moment of vista as "always"..


I also tested the "Slipstream updates" part and have some comments here to

6. If you dont have a distribution share I guess its ok to just create a new answer file (as you say), and that way the pictures look different, the updates goes directly into the answerfile when using Insert, packages...

7. If I go directly to this part of guide I miss 2 folders at step 8 , Sandbox, Logs in my directory, if I dont create them the command line cant run !

[Sgt_Strider]

I finally decided to try an unattended installation with Vista after giving up on it early in the summer. I got some questions for FireGeier or anyone that is experienced at this.

oobeSystem \ Windows-International-Core

The setting above doesn't seem to exist even though I have followed the instructions carefully and I went back to double check it. Am I missing something here? It's odd that a similar menu to this exist for the Windows PE section.

Let's say that if this menu does exist and someone tell me how to add it, how can I enable Chinese (simplified and traditional characters) for Vista? I don't see the "language group" setting that exist in Windows XP. I'm not sure how to do it and I would appreciate if someone tells me how to add it. Thanks!

[Jazkal]

None of the links work in the first post. Anyone have a mirror link for this?




EDIT:
Found this thread that is supposed to have all this info, in it.

First of all, great guide!!!!

but, I am stuck at the Install Drivers from DVD part. I copied all the drivers originally shipped with my computer into my Drivers Folder

-If I put the %DriversRoot%Drivers in WindowsPE, my setup won't run saying there are critical boot drivers missing. They are not missing if I don't implement drivers.

I cannot get my drivers loaded into the setup for some reason. I can only get them in there by injecting them (via vLite) which means I cannot update if newer versions come out.

Can you please help me with this one. I cannot continue untill this is fixed.

Thank you for a quick responds

[Dobby]

BTW firegeier's website is back up so the links in the first post are valid again.

@seabird check what your setting %DriversRoot% to. If there is no trailing slash you'll need it between %DriversRoot% and Drivers. If you followed Firegeier's tutorial on Installing drivers from Media then your SetDriversRoot.cmd should contain an echo which will tell you what %DriversRoot% was set to.

I remember getting that error and if I remember correctly it was down to a bad/incorrect drivers path.

I just copy pasted the code of fire's website, so I ssume it is correct....

@ECHO OFF
SET DriversRoot=NULL

:SearchDriversRoot
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:\DriversRoot.txt SET DriversRoot=%%i:\
IF NOT "%DriversRoot%"=="NULL" GOTO StartSetup
GOTO SearchDriversRoot

:StartSetup
ECHO DriversRoot=%DriversRoot%
X:\setup.exe

Driversroot seems to have a backslash, and my answerfile is %DriversRoot%Drivers
I just can't figure this one out :'(

[razormoon]

 
@ECHO OFF
SET DriversRoot=NULL

:SearchDriversRoot
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:\DriversRoot.txt SET DriversRoot=%%i:\
IF NOT "%DriversRoot%"=="NULL" GOTO StartSetup
GOTO SearchDriversRoot

:StartSetup
ECHO DriversRoot=%DriversRoot%
X:\setup.exe 

SET DriversRoot=%%i:\

Should NOT contain the trailing slash, otherwise DriversRoot = X:\\

SET DriversRoot=%%i: CORRECT

Where DriversRoot equals only the drive letter (and colon) where your drivers are stored. So...pointing to that directory should be:

%DriversRoot%\Drivers

Now what I don't understand is why the reason for the GOTO SearchDriversRoot loop. FOR %%i should take care of this and run through the letters by design, no?

The problem is the Disk configuration screen never appears.

Thanks. No change though. Disk configuration screen still doesn't appear. Strangely when I try running it on my physical system rather than vmware the Disk configuration screen does appear. Disk configuration screen shows up in VMware on non unattended iso though, just not if AUTOUNATTEND.XML is present.

Remove InstallToAvailablePartition as this is incorrect.
Insert in "Microsoft-Windows-Setup" @ WindowsPE

I think I found a error in the guide, Advanced, Copy profile

In step 1 it is instructed to write:
%WINDIR%\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /generalize /quiet /oobe /reboot

But in the picture below there is no generalize !?

Should I use generalize for this task ??


If I follow the guide to install applications, there is no "generalize" in the line in Synchronous Command ,Pass 4 specialize, why ?
