It happens to me sometimes also! First I think you can try to create a new time the iso file and make a new test! If the error always appears, that means that some files are corrupted!

It seems you have used the valid key matching Windows 7 Ultimate edition and not the default key for Windows 7 HOMEPREMIUM! Just select inside OOBE section: "Skip product key" and 7Customizer will set the correct default key matching the Windows 7 version you want to install silently!

OK! After testing, I see that the valid key match only the Windows 7 version you have bought! That means if you install Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL and you have bought Windows 7 UTLIMATE the valid key doesn't match your Windows 7 version and you need a new valid key!!! You can install silently Windows 7 with the default keys with Windows 7 versions you want with the default keys, but each version needs a different valid key!! But you can use the same valid key to validate Windows 7 ULTIMATE x86 or Windows 7 ULTIMATE x64 if the valid key match the Windows 7 version you have!! Inside your Autounattend.xml you can use your valid key for Windows 7 matching ONLY the Windows 7 version you have!!! I think it's interesting to only make an Windows 7 AIO with the valid key validating the versions we have bought: Windows 7 ULTIMATE x86 and x64 (example)!

I think this can be solved adding inside your Autounattend.xml file: <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64"...

Updated: I'm not Moderator (read post #4)! Thanks *Edit: the best way, is to edit your last post! I will take a look about your questions and try to give you an answer!

This can be done, like this for your Autounattend.xml file (AIO x86 and x64): 1) Delete the file ei.cfg inside %DVD%\sources\ie.cfg 2) Inside your Autounattend.xml file (AIO) change to: Example given at the link above! <ImageInstall> <OSImage> <WillShowUI>Always</WillShowUI> </OSImage> </ImageInstall> All availables images will be displayed and the user can choose the one he wants to install! *Edit: Remember that each Windows 7 version has it's own key, but you can also inject the default keys and don't write the keys inside your Autounattend.xml. I think, only one key is valid for one version. The valid product key is on the sticky! The default keys are inside %DVD%\sources\product.ini to install silently each Windows 7 version you have inside the install.wim image. You can read my post #28 here and read how to inject the default keys. http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/144434-ask-for-key-first-or-skip-key-entry/page__st__20

Please Kels, tell us how we can send you some money to help you? Thanks for your understanding. Best Regards

OK! But it's not the same problem. I've updated my post #126 above with a new Autounattend.xml (x86 and amd64) for you! The trouble was that no empty space (gap) are supported for the computer_name, I renamed "Win7_Vaio". But you can change if you want, of course! Thanks to tell if you have errors! I've tested with my settings and all is fine!

You can use RT Se7en Lite 1.7.0 RC x86 ONLY on a computer 32 bit! You can use RT Se7en Lite 1.7.0 RC x64 ONLY on a computer 64 bit! But If you want you can use RT Se7en Lite 1.7.0 RC x86 on a computer 32 bit to customize Windows 7 32 bit and Windows 7 64 bit. But you can't customize Windows 7 32 bit and Windows 7 64 bit with RT Se7en Lite 1.7.0 RC x64 on a computer 64 bit. http://www.rtwincust...32-bit-machine/ You can try the two methods, works - only with a computer 32 bit with RT Se7en Lite 1.7.0 RC x86! Don't create an Autounattend.xml with RT Se7en Lite, but use your customized one for the two images x86 and amd64. http://www.windowsvalley.com/create-windows-7-aio-all-in-one-dvd-or-merge-all-editions-of-windows-7-in-single-dvd/

Because the paths may be differents! You can download VLC: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ And use WPI.exe to add VLC inside the folder: WPI\Install\VLC, with the silent switcher /S All programs with there silent settings are writed inside: WPI\WPIScripts\config.js

You can read the log files made by IE9 inside C:\Windows to see if errors: Troubleshooting http://technet.microsoft.com/fr-ch/library/gg699422(en-us).aspx

I think the best way is to use images install.wim already merged (x86 and amd64) with RT Se7en Lte 1.7.0 RC. Of course it's needed to launch twice the program: one time to customize Windows 7 x86 and after to customize Windows 7 x64. But you can also do separatly the process and merge the images install.wim after (example for Ultimate images x86 and x64). About Autounattend.xml for Windows 7 All-In-One, you can find help here (post # 116 and later): http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/139572-ask-your-seven-xml-here/page__view__findpost__p__963334

You can find help here about your question, I think. Read my post #28 All availables images are inside install.wim file! You can use: imagex /info C:\%DVD_Folder%\sources\install.wim http://www.msfn.org/...ry/page__st__20

The path isn't correct and if you use a tool like TuneUp Utilities or others, you will see that the keys inside: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DesktopBackground\Shell\AdministrativeTools will be removed. And no options will be displayed on right click on the Desktop! Because this reg key needs a command! Take a look inside the Registry! You can try with the new path I suggest you and you will see that all is really fine!

@nice_guy75 It's needed to change the reg keys and add at first the correct path, like this: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\AdministrativeTools] "MUIVerb"="Administrative Tools" Thanks

Many thanks nice_guy75

This can be done ONLY on a computer 32 bit with RT Se7en Lite 1.7.0 RC x86 to customize an Windows 7 AIO (x86 and amd64)! You can read my post #1699 here: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/142382-rt-seven-lite-rc-build-170-and-beta-build-260/page__st__1680

You can add inside your Autounattend.xml: <settings pass="windowsPE"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="[url="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State"]http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State[/url]" xmlns:xsi="[url="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"]http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance[/url]"> <ImageInstall> <OSImage> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> <InstallFrom> <MetaData wcm:action="add"> <Key>/IMAGE/NAME</Key> <Value>Windows 7 HOMEPREMIUM</Value> </MetaData> </InstallFrom> </OSImage> </ImageInstall> Check your file with WSIM (Windows System Image Manager) *Edit: You can also find help here: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/139572-ask-your-seven-xml-here/

Check your Autounattend.xml file and use: If needed change the value <Always> with <OnError> <ImageInstall> <OSImage> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> However, could you attach your Autounattend.xml file, please (delete the valid key first)?

You can use the default product key for silent installation. There are located inside the product.ini file for each Windows version. Choose the one you need! Look: %DVD%\sources\product.ini

If you want you can try this shorcut on Desktop background, but I will try to search the subcommands for the shorcuts options: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Windows] "MUIVerb"="Windows" "SubCommands"="" "Icon"="%SystemRoot%\\System32\\winver.exe" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Windows\shell] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Windows\shell\1AdminTools] "MUIVerb"="@%SystemRoot%\\system32\\shell32.dll,-22982" "Icon"="%SystemRoot%\\System32\\imageres.dll,-114" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Windows\shell\1AdminTools\command] @="control admintools" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\Background\shell\Windows] "MUIVerb"="Windows" "SubCommands"="" "Icon"="%SystemRoot%\\System32\\winver.exe" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\Background\shell\Windows\shell] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\Background\shell\Windows\shell\1AdminTools] "MUIVerb"="@%SystemRoot%\\system32\\shell32.dll,-22982" "Icon"="%SystemRoot%\\System32\\imageres.dll,-114" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\Background\shell\Windows\shell\1AdminTools\command] @="control admintools"

Thanks coucou, but it's a Desktop background shortcut, and it seems that nice_guy75 is searching a third-party software like ClassicShellSetup.exe or VistaStartMenu_Setup_3_86_freeware.exe to have Classic Start Menu! Or maybe I'm wrong? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Start_menu http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/ http://www.vistastartmenu.com/index.html

You can find help here: my post #57 http://www.msfn.org/...se/page__st__40 Unattended Windows Setup Refernce for Windows 7 Example (choose the one you needs!): <InputLocale>0429:00000429;040c:0000040c;0409:00000409</InputLocale>

What do you want exactly?
