I have successfully Installed Window 8.1 unattendly, but the following screen doesn't appear. I want to see it, so I can also use the Windows Recovery tools. The setup automatically jumps to the partition list. Any idea how to tweak AutoUnattend.xml to display it ?

No problem, do you have a C# and WPF experience ?

updated to v1.3

This is the theme (for 8.1) I was talking about, I just changed some pics that I can't taste (button, checkbox, radio button, drop-down list, scrollbar and hovering on items) I always replace "C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\aero\aero.msstyles" with it. (you may need to take-ownership of aero.msstyles first and delete vscache folder)

Custom themes doesn't necessary mean it'll play bad with Atlas, I have a theme that build upon Windows 8 aero "C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\aero\aero.msstyles" that i only changed (5 or 6) pics in it using Rescource Hacker, but the theme is still (compatible) with the Atlas.png

Thank you for the follow up MagicAndre1981. I managed starting aerohost.exe as SYSTEM, without an external tool, just using C:\Windows\System32\schtasks.exe Now updated to v1.2

Thanks for the enlightenment, although this lacks the usefulness of a non-profitable software. anyway I'll seek for workaround.

updated to v1.1

I don't know that the developer of dwmglass.dll (or any one else) has made a GUI of it for Win8.1. so I made this for me and any one else.

Sorry about that, the forum was giving me a sql server error message and i didn't realize the topic has been posted. I'll consider hosting on an English site, with no javascript restrictions, thanks.

link added.

- I tried installing XP from USB 3.0 drive on Dell N5110 Laptop (that has Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller) with error: no display. - I remember that I did it before correctly, by injecting these Renesas USB3.0 drivers in textmode. (just like SATA drivers) I wonder why WinsetupFromUSB is not adding these drivers for motherboards that has USB 3.0 Host Controller like: Renesas, Etron, ASMedia, Intel eXtensible ...etc
