Hi guys, I'm still a little new to this aik stuff. I did create an answer file for a windows 7 aik "custom" install so I can install Unattended. My question is how do you make the answer file WITHOUT wiping out everything you try and automate? I tried to add to the favorites bar and so on and nothing keeps. Thanks
