I am really new to creating an unattended xml file but I have worked through some of the things that have been giving me issues like getting it to format the drive and install to the proper partition. Anyway, no matter what I do I still have to accept the language/timezone/keyboard settings page and click the install now button. What am I missing or do I have the settings in the wrong place?
any help would be greatly appreciated it. Sorry if this is somewhere in here already, but I have tried searching all the forums and this particular forum but nothing ever comes up pertaining to the issue. I could be using the wrong terminology for my search terms.

Hello everyone,
I am really new to creating an unattended xml file but I have worked through some of the things that have been giving me issues like getting it to format the drive and install to the proper partition. Anyway, no matter what I do I still have to accept the language/timezone/keyboard settings page and click the install now button. What am I missing or do I have the settings in the wrong place?
