[UNATTENDED HANG DURING INSTALLATION IN PC.]

@ fordac Post #1

I tested the unattended using VM Ware 5.5.3 and it installed fine and so i planned to install in my own PC but the installation hangs during the Installing Devices and nothing happens after that.

I had the same problem, until I unplugged my wireless mouse/keyboard (Logitech), and used an old keyboard,

my unattended iso include BTS driver pack.

[Patched uxtheme.dll in windows setup?]

Newer tried this theory (I´m an nLite´r) but think it works.

Copy your working uxtheme.dll, then

Next, ModifyPE your uxtheme.dll

Next, at the command prompt, type in this command.

"makecab uxtheme.dll", It will become uxtheme.dl_

Last, replace your uxtheme.dl_ in your unattended CD/DVD.
