Thanks coucou! I really appreciate that you clarify a point! It's usefull for everyone! But I see you've get errors when you've integrated some French Addons!! Of course there is a problem! Kind regards

Hello coucou! It's not my question! It's about the first installation with my French Windows 7 OEM. Using default key gives 30 days, and using original key gives 3 days, why? I haven't use : cscript.exe "C:\Windows\System32\slmgr.vbs" /rearm It's seems that Microsoft make like this for Windows 7 OEM versions! I've made some search but it's always asking about 30 days!

Hello! I noticed that when I use the default key inside "Autounattend.xml" (see inside: "sources\product.ini") I've 30 days before to activate my Windows 7 copy. And if I use the original key I've only 3 days to activate Windows 7. Does anybody have an idea about this difference? Btw I've made an French guide: Building an customized Windows 7 DVD activated Regards

Hello coucou! I've made an test with Sun VirtualBox and in fact, yes I can use on Windows XP installed on my computer with an new virtual disk Windows 7. Just choose the host Windows 7. All works fine! I've made an virtual disk for Windows XP and another for Windows 7. But it's needed 20GB space for Windows 7!And I read that it's needed 25GB with VMware!Have you enough space on your HDD? You can download VMware Workstation User's Manual" (PDF). It seems that the problem is using "W7Alpha.msi" with Windows XP! Windows 7 Toolkit is a software working only with Windows 7! Maybe you can find a workaround for French Windows XP, here: Utiliser W7T Pour integrer des AddOns WIN 7 UNA I hope that will help you! *Edit: If you want use the new Windows 7 Toolkit v0.8.0 Final for Windows 7.

Hello! Where did you downloaded the Microsoft Windows Updates for slipstreaming?

Hello coucou Yes, weird! Have you made some changes inside your Windows 7 DVD unattended, or it's exactly the same you've made at first? Have you get errors when you've installed some French Addons? Which "W7 Windows Toolkit" have you used? Don't use others Addons except in your Windows version language (French) x86! And it's needed always to integrate Addons at last and after you can make your ISO file! Forum French System AddOns You can use W7 Toolkit Addons I've tested Windows 7 Toolkit 0.7.0.50. Works fine for me! Only French AddOn UxTheme Patch 1.1 don't work for me, even it's integrated without error!? Maybe the problem is that you are runing with Windows XP on your computer and you use VMWare (virtual) machine with Windows XP and you are trying to install Windows 7 unattended DVD on the Virtual Machine? I can't do that with Sun VirtualBox, because I must choose for Sun VirtualBox, the installation for Windows XP or for Windows 7 OS installed on my computer! All my tests are made with Windows 7 OS with Sun VirtualBox for unattended Windows 7 DVD! And for Windows XP, I use Sun VirtualBox with my OS Windows XP; on the same computer with 2 partitions: C:\(Windows XP) and D:\ (Windows 7)! Regards

Oh sorry! I don't remember that I've used imageX! I think it's also needed to do that for the "boot.wim" file! It's for matching the new "install.wim 1" file with the new "boot.wim 1" file. Because at first "install.wim 5" match with "boot.wim 2"! But if I have now the new "install.wim 1"; I think it's also needed to match the new "boot.wim 1" file! I've used many times my batch file successfuly with my Windows 7 ULTIMATE!
