thanks for your help, it works now

Hi, my unattend installations works fine, except one problem: It hangs always on the screen where I can enter my country and language information (like this: http://www.aozeo.com/dotclear/images/vista-installation2.jpg ) This is my unattend xml file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> <settings pass="windowsPE"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/Statehttp://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State">http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State>" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> '>http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> ;

But I read about it that I have to put it also in the specialize and oobeSystem pass. But the result is the same as before Can anyone help me? Thanks

ok, thanks

Can anyone tell for what "<cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:c:/vista_installation/install.wim#Windows Vista ENTERPRISE" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" />" or "<cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:c:/vistawork/dvd/sources/install.wim#Windows Vista ULTIMATE" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" />" is for? Do I need it in my unattend.xml file?

Hello, I have some questions on how to customize my unattend-Vista installation: I want to put most of the custimization in the unattend.xml file, and only the rest handle with scripts (VBS ...). 1. Is ist possible to set the screensaver, backgroud image, disable the "greeting center" (don't know if this is the english word for "Begrüßungszenter")? 2. Is ist possible to do not install Windows Mail, Windows Movie Maker, Windows Calendar, Windows Contacts? (I already found how to do not install the games) 3. Is it possible to configure the offline-files (activate / deactivate)? 4. Is it possilbe to set the security options like deactivate posix, delete swapfile on shutdown ... ? 5. It is possible to deactivate the automatic update function? I hope anyone can help me to find the answers.
