ShadowHunter

Tried it both ways to no avail. This is driving me crazy.

It seems my WSIM is using a windows 8 pro not windows 8.1, but the install.wim I'm using has Windows 8.1 and I'm using a Windows 8.1 OS to run WSIM. How is the WSIM getting Windows 8 Pro? Could this be the cause of the problem?

I've tried that and it doesn't work. I just goes into Select an operating system window.

I'm trying to automate the installation of Windows 8.1 Pro Preview. I've managed to get some of it done. The one part I'm stuck on is having to pick an operating system. The prompt is: "Select the Operating System you want to install. Windows 8.1 Pro Preview x64 [DATE]" Does anyone know how to automatically pick it? I've tried <ImageInstall> <OSImage> <InstallTo> <DiskID>0</DiskID> <PartitionID>1</PartitionID> </InstallTo> <WillShowUI>Always</WillShowUI> <InstallFrom> <MetaData wcm:action="add"> <Key>/IMAGE/INDEX</Key> <Value>1</Value> </MetaData> </InstallFrom> </OSImage> </ImageInstall>I've also tried /IMAGE/NAME and the value being "Windows 8.1 Pro Preview" Any help would be greatly appreciated!
