When I use imagex for delete a Windows version, that works fine; but there a is problem. Once done the versions deleted aren't displayed inside the dialog box for the version I want to install! Example with Windows 7 Ultimate After that, with my version Windows 7 Ultimate x86, I see only 3 versions: Some help here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749447(WS.10).aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc507842.aspx But I see when I delete "install.wim 1" the order and the number of the version have changed! That means, if I delete after "install.wim 2" => that dont'match the Windows version I want to delete!! Weird! And after if I delete "install.wim 3" Windows 7 Ultimate is deleted! Maybe because the order has changed? I think it's needed to use: imagex /delete c:\Win7DVD\sources\install.wim 1 /check Inside the attached image you can see Windows 7 Ultimate postion 3. At first time it was position 5. If I delete "install.wim 3" Windows 7 Ultimate is deleted! The order have changed! Weird!

Maybe you can try this: Delete the file "ie.cfg" inside "sources" and during the installation all Windows version are displayed. The customer can choose the version he wants to install. And when the task for the key appears he can skip the dialog box. The default key will be installed for the version he had choosen to continue the unattended installation. He can at this time set the valid key, also! http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/07/23/how-to-select-any-edition-or-version-sku-of-windows-7-to-install-from-single-edition-dvd-disc-media-or-iso/ I hope that will help you!

You can find the default keys inside your DVD Windows 7 "sources\product.ini". You can find all the keys you need for an unattended install!

Thanks for your reply! My idea it's to use the "Autounattend.xml" needed for the Windows 7 version you want to install! That means the others "Autounattend.xml" have an other name for not create an conflict. Example: Just rename the file "Autounattend_Pro.xml" as "Autounattend.xml" for the installation! And in this way you have only one used for the unattended install! You can also use an name with text format, maybe it's better: "Autounattend_Ultimate.txt" And rename this one "Autounattend.xml" when you want install Windows 7 Ultimate. It's just an idea! But I think about your question!

I've found some help here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744512(WS.10).aspx#UsingAnswerFilesWithSysprep Extract: Inside the answer file sysprep.xml (example: Windows 7 x86 Professional): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> <settings pass="generalize"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <SkipRearm>1</SkipRearm> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-PnpSysprep" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <PersistAllDeviceInstalls>true</PersistAllDeviceInstalls> <DoNotCleanUpNonPresentDevices>true</DoNotCleanUpNonPresentDevices> </component> </settings> I hope that will help you!

Fine! Thanks

@beatmaster I see you have given my answer inside your Web site "win-lite.de" for your member pru79! Thanks. I've just made a correction inside the last post: The path must be: "C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\amd64\Servicing\Dism.exe" I hope his problem will be solved!

I think the problem is the space inside "Program Files"! You can use quotes.Like this: <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <CommandLine>cscript //b "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs" /inpkey:PRODUCT KEY</CommandLine> <Order>4</Order> <RequiresUserInput>false</RequiresUserInput> </SynchronousCommand> <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <CommandLine>cscript //b "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs" /act</CommandLine> <Order>5</Order> <RequiresUserInput>false</RequiresUserInput> </SynchronousCommand> Or like this: <CommandLine>cscript //b C:\"Program Files"\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs /inpkey:PRODUCT KEY</CommandLine> Or you can use %PROGRAMFILES%

Nice. I will try.

Thanks. Fine!

Hello You can use a batch file to install Office. Set inside SetupComplete.cmd My example for Office Standard 2007: REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Office Standard 2007" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Office\SETUP.EXE /config %systemdrive%\Install\Office\STANDARDR.WW\CONFIG.XML" /f Silent install. Set your values inside "CONFIG.XML" for an unattended install.

Hello At this time DriverPacks don't works for Windows 7. It's in project. Maybe you can find some help here: http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewforum.php?id=45 http://driverpacks.net/docs/miscellaneous-guides/how-use-windows-7-dism-muiz. http://driverpacks.net/docs/miscellaneous-guides/dism-walkthrough-observations-my-first-ever-attempt

@beatmaster I think the error is the path for Dism.exe for Windows 7 x64! Inside the attached file "dism.log", we can see that: Host machine information: OS Version=6.1.7600, Running architecture=amd64, Number of processors=1 2010-06-13 15:25:30, Info DISM DISM.EXE: Executing command line: "C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\Servicing\Dism.exe" /mount-wim /wimfile:"C:\7customizer\win7x64\sources\install.wim" /index:2 /mountdir:"work\mount" Inside mine, I can see for Windows 7 x86 Ultimate: Host machine information: OS Version=5.1.2600, Running architecture=x86, Number of processors=2 2010-06-14 22:39:51, Info DISM DISM.EXE: Executing command line: "C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\x86\Servicing\Dism.exe" /mount-wim /wimfile:"C:\Win7\sources\install.wim" /index:5 /mountdir:"work\mount" The path must be: "C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\amd64\Servicing\Dism.exe" Create a folder inside the root of the HDD, like C:\; D:\,etc and not inside 7Customizer! C:\win7x64 and not C:\7customizer\win7x64 With 7Customizer, at the first main menu it's nedeed to choose carefully the path for imagex.exe; Dism.exe and oscdimg.exe. In this case choose for amd64. I hope that will help you!

Excellent! I don't use a server. I've used MDT 2010 on a support Media successfully! Merci beaucoup!

I think it depends what version Office 2010 you have! Professional Edition or Student Edition, Standard Edition! If you have Professionnal Edition it's OK, but for Standard Edition it's possible in an other way with RunOnceex method.
