Way back with early XP i was sitting there one day and clicked the Restart button and on reboot it BSOD. From that day forward I'll wait it out. Probably have to hack a dll. Don't think it is nowhere in xml settings.

I was looking through unattend.chm for Win 8 and Win 7. If you back up 1 page from the link http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh825678 En-GB Partially localized language pack Are you sure the image you have is multi? Some are not If you are running Win 7 You can mount the image to a test dir and type this DISM.exe /Image:D:\zMountDir /Get-Intl I get this Reporting offline international settings. Default system UI language : en-US System locale : en-US Default time zone : Pacific Standard Time User locale for default user : en-US Location : United States (GEOID = 244) Active keyboard(s) : 0409:00000409 Keyboard layered driver : Not installed. Installed language(s): en-US Type : Fully localized language. The operation completed successfully.

en-GB Not supported. I cannot find it in waik help files Look here last post

yes with dism can be done offline in otherwords mount image and set them /Set-SetupUILang - Defines the default language that will be used by setup. /Set-UserLocale - Sets the user locale in the mounted offline image. /Set-SysLocale - Sets the language for non-Unicode programs (also called system locale) and font settings in the mounted offline image. Why don't you just use an xml? in first pass look at <component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE"

first link in Google has links like this download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/software Those are valid Microsoft links

like those 'Let me google that for you' things but got a warning on 1 stupid site. Tried to convince them I am teaching how to search but they are idiots. i won't go back

I use this in my Unattended Check for Updates but let me choose whether to Download and Install ;62 Microsoft Update settings [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update] "AUOptions"=dword:00000002 "IncludeRecommendedUpdates"=dword:00000001 You can change the setting manually and go to that key in Registry and see what it changes to

Create UEFI partitions. Save as AutoUnattend.xml attached to First post Created xml same way as your link Sample: Configure UEFI/GPT-Based Hard Drive Partitions by Using Windows Setup as usual MS screws things up. Right off I could see where they were <InstallTo> Partition 3 was wrong. Can't install to a <Size>128</Size> mb disk I booted with xml on usb and it parsed xml and crashed on <ModifyPartitions> I could tell from Panther/setupact.log it was getting first 2 entries but not third. It said <!-- MSR partition does not need to be modified --> so why are they adding it? hmm. I remarked out whole thing and changed 4th partition <Order>4</Order> to a 3 Bingo it ran and finished. I wasn't happy cause I wanted a full GPT disk and hide the recovery partition so I booted with a txt file on usb and removed <DiskConfiguration> from my xml and named to .bak I ran the Diskpart commands to create all the partitions I hit Shift and F10 and CD to my USB and ran Notepad opening the file and paste them into the command prompt. Then renamed xml and rebooted. it completed with no errors So now I have a GPT UEFI setup but right now it is slower than it was. SSD takes a few days to tweak itself. These are the DISKPART commands. DISKPART SELECT DISK 0 CLEAN CONVERT GPT CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY SIZE=250 SET ID="de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac" FORMAT QUICK FS=NTFS LABEL="Recovery" ASSIGN LETTER="R" CREATE PARTITION EFI SIZE=100 FORMAT QUICK FS=FAT32 LABEL="System" ASSIGN LETTER="S" CREATE PARTITION MSR SIZE=128 CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY FORMAT QUICK FS=NTFS LABEL="SE7EN" ASSIGN LETTER="C" EXIT

Your link already shows how to do it or unattend.chm covers this I have a OEM UEFI capable personal home PC. I have formatted it and reinstalled normally 1. OEM junkware had C drive over 26gb 2. 2 TB C: drive is like the most ridiculous thing to me. When I tried EFI have had problems with it like not able to boot to F8 'Repair your Computer' even with a created EFI boot disk. Added a SSD and I get about BootTime 17945 ms so have wondered if there would be any advantage to switching it over. I may try again today unless something comes up. If it works then I'll have a xml from an actual EDIT: This was the problem I encountered last EFI I tried This version of System Recovery Options is not compatible with the version of Windows you are trying to repair. I searched high and low for a week and finally came across an answer that said something about extra Drives would cause error's All I done was disable USB Floppy and USB Hard Drive in UEFI options in bios. Recovery DVD would then work

Never has worked not even in Vista I just use a Powerplan.cmd I run at Firstlogoncommands REM Adding Powerplan POWERCFG -SETACTIVE 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c REM ALL TO 120 minutes time and you can change. POWERCFG -X -monitor-timeout-ac 120 POWERCFG -X -disk-timeout-ac 120 POWERCFG -X -standby-timeout-ac 120 REM or hibernate OFF POWERCFG -H OFF

If you want to be able to install diff versions then place the autounattend.xml on a floppy/usb stick. You could add folders for each version and move it to root of usb as needed That way you can modify if at any time where all you change in each is <settings pass="windowsPE"> <Value>Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL</Value> <OSImage> <InstallFrom> <MetaData wcm:action="add"> <Key>/IMAGE/NAME</Key> <Value>Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL</Value> </MetaData> </InstallFrom> </OSImage> And the key value <UserData> <ProductKey> <Key>xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx</Key> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> </ProductKey> </UserData> and again in <settings pass="specialize"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" <ProductKey>xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx</ProductKey> Unless you want to change version and type in a key. Many possibilities or leave key blank and add after setup. for examples look here

Been looking at that myself but am undecided because I have all the IE9-Windows6.1-KB updates and don't know whether to inject them after I do the IE9-Win7.CAB I would probably think not since injecting the IE9 it will be in State : Install Pending Processing 1 of 1 - Adding package Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-Package-TopLevel~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~ ~9.4.8112.16421 [==========================100.0%==========================] The operation completed successfully.

Internet Explorer 9 Preinstallation Techniques http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh147968.aspx For Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1), the following prerequisites must be installed: KB2484033, KB2488113, and KB2505438 64 xml is different from 86 These are 64 bit so change the processorArchitecture="amd64" to processorArchitecture="x86" if needed

My NET4 and it works for client REG ADD %KEY%\1001 /VE /D ".NET Framework 4 Client" /f REG ADD %KEY%\1001 /V 101 /D "CMD /C Start /Wait D:\APPS\_NET4\dotNetFx40_Client_x86_x64.exe /q /norestart /ChainingPackage ADMINDEPLOYMENT" /f REG ADD %KEY%\1001 /V 102 /D "CMD /C Start /Wait D:\APPS\_NET4\_NET4updates.cmd" /f where _NET4updates.cmd is title .NET Framework NDP40-KB*.exe cd %~dp0 for %%A in (NDP40*.exe) do %%A /q /norestart /ChainingPackage ADMINDEPLOYMENT Timeout 5 exit edit I changed to /q /norestart /ChainingPackage ADMINDEPLOYMENT cause that do work better

Windows Automated Installation Kit for Windows 7 documentation (May 2010 Update) http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=2458 unattend.chm is the most important You can do what you want to do easiest with FirstLogonCommands

Thats why I always use the below cause I don't want my data drive wiped out. If you going to do this 1 time then this will be the answer. <DiskConfiguration> <WillShowUI>Always</WillShowUI> </DiskConfiguration>

I assume you did download an iso with a name like this? ja_windows_server_2008_r2_with_sp1_x64_dvd_617387.iso I seen errors with missing lines and corrected the xml. I removed certain things in windowsPE <SetupUILanguage> <UILanguage>ja-JP</UILanguage> </SetupUILanguage> <InputLocale>0411:00000411</InputLocale> <SystemLocale>ja-JP</SystemLocale> <UILanguage>ja-JP</UILanguage> but can be used in oobeSystem <SystemLocale>ja-JP</SystemLocale> <UILanguage>ja-JP</UILanguage> <UserLocale>ja-JP</UserLocale> Try this one

Yes they say that happen on 64 bit IE I run the 32 bit IE because most plugins and stuff work with it so guess that why my scopes did work.

this works perfectly if you don't want to inject

yes I have 7 or 8 links in mine and that would not be same for all users. By default it has show desktop and switch which reg will do Yes working in Win 8 ( ) also

Reg export works for all machines if every user has same exact Quicklaunch setup. I do it different by saving %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch folder and copy in. Then use this script

what pass SynchronousCommand?

SetupComplete.cmd is actually run automatically after Windows setup but you will notice it is run right before Logon. I password protect my user install and even the Administrator account I set a pass. That is how I know it run before logon cause the commands are seen executing. You won't see setupcomplete running though, only commands within it I see some pop up.
