Hello I'm trying to make an unattended answer file for Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit to be used from an usb key and the original dvd. At the end of the install i get this error massage: "Windows could not parse or process unattend answer file [C:\windows\Panther\unattend.xml] for pass [oobesystem]. The settings specified in the answer file cannot be applied." I made the autounattend.xml file with vlite and added 3 lines to get the users folder put on another drive then the system drive. My autounattend.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> <settings pass="windowsPE"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="NonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <UserData> <AcceptEula>true</AcceptEula> </UserData> <ImageInstall> <OSImage> <InstallFrom> <MetaData wcm:action="add"> <Key>/IMAGE/NAME</Key> <Value>Windows Vista HOMEPREMIUM</Value> </MetaData> </InstallFrom> <InstallToAvailablePartition>false</InstallToAvailablePartition> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> </OSImage> </ImageInstall> </component> </settings> <settings pass="oobeSystem"> <FolderLocations> <ProfilesDirectory>D:\UserData</ProfilesDirectory> </FolderLocations> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="NonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <OOBE> <HideEULAPage>true</HideEULAPage> </OOBE> </component> </settings> <cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:E:/sources/install.wim#Windows Vista HOMEPREMIUM" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" /> </unattend> I have tryed to burn the image file vlite made and use it instead of the MS DVD and the usb key and i got the same error massage. The only part of the autounattend.xml i care about is the part that moves the profile/user folder so feel free to give me advise about any other part of the code i can remove. Hope somebody can help me with this.

I want to change the users folder location doing install using an autounattend.xml file on a usb memorystick. I have found the code i need to do so in this forum. I do not wish to change anything else doing the install. Now my question is, do i need to put anything else into the autounattend.xml file for this to work then this: <settings pass="oobeSystem"> <FolderLocations> <ProfilesDirectory>D:\UserData</ProfilesDirectory> </FolderLocations> this is all thats in my autounattend.xml, will this work from a usbkey doing install from vista dvd? I have searched the forum but could not fully understand the guides i found, sorry.
