Well that is up to you Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI) totally different program the name say's everything POST install you want short cuts then try doing it manually.all the info is on this forum. Please stick with Se7en_UA for a while . you will get the benefits

Getting errors in Autounattend.xml especially at <ProductKey> just testing unattended part. Autounattend.xml log.txt

For the moment just check your appswitch.dat file. and check to see if CD_copied= (YOUR PATH IS THERE) all i can think of at the moment maxx has changed some settings and also as i said earlier on i haven't tried x64. Down fall on my side. ok on x86 Also rather than editing the Appswitch.dat file just try selecting first box again to do dvd copy but select delete then when programs comes back select dvd copy again see what happens, let us know please the more information the better )

its showing files copy on windows 7 ultimate x86 sorry ain't tested yet on x64.

If you had looked at dos window it does tell you if copy was successful and if there are any errors it also says program will close after disk copy and you need to restart it.

did you dismount and cleanup-wim from earlier on

1 - Username enter your username you use in windows. 2 - addons yes there are from the os you have installed i,e for example copy favourites from IE. 2 - drivers make a drivers folder inside that you can have subfolders drivers must be unpacked and have inf files not executable package from makers, use a a driver backup program to grab the drivers already installed on your system. Driver Magician lite version is free.

You need to unpack the win7.iso to a folder or copy from the dvd.

Only in principle Se7en_UA will do complete unattended install with applications e.c.t not just addons far more advanced

You can just delete ei.cfg

Can you upload to somewhere else that you don't need to sign upto to down load a 200k file Thanks

Im not really to sure but you could try removing pid.txt file from sources on the ultimate dvd. other than that you will need to do full install.

Acronis true image will make recovery partition.

I have this for uk <settings pass="windowsPE"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE" 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"> <SetupUILanguage> <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage> </SetupUILanguage> <InputLocale>0809:00000809</InputLocale> <SystemLocale>en-UK</SystemLocale> <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage> <UserLocale>en-UK</UserLocale> </component>

May sound silly but have a look at monitor settings even though it is a laptop.

You should be able to backup the two partitions and the MBR with acronis.

cant you just redownload the oembios files from here http://www.oembios.net/

I don't get this at all you couldn't fit vista on two cd's, it did come out on 5 i think.

Forget vlite read threads on vista unattended i would really like to know if you have vista and xp pro and xp home with all your apps, wont fit on normal dvd

You should try the actuall nlite secton on this forum Nlite section and here for help Nlite guide

Try searching forum for oembios.exe run that it will let you know if you have SLP for xp enabled in bios then you can use acer OEM xp cd. Kelsenellenelvian may have allready tried this and thats why he said acer is correct.

ProductKey="XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX" change to ProductKey=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

does Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2010 save a log of what switches DISM used ?

To be honest i'm not sure i have original dell home premium OEM it contains pid.txt i also have MSDN versions of vista there is no pid.txt in those, it is maybe because you are using enterprise version.

PID.TXT files are only in OEM SLIC enabled system dvd's i.e Dell ec.t.
