@ FireGeier, removing the path section from the xml file works! (I had tried to leave the value "path" blank from within WSIM, but that didn't work) <ImageInstall> <OSImage> <InstallFrom> <MetaData wcm:action="add"> <Key>/IMAGE/NAME</Key> <Value>Windows Vista HomePremium</Value> </MetaData> <Path></Path> </InstallFrom> <InstallToAvailablePartition>false</InstallToAvailablePartition> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> Strange, but it works perfectly like u suggested, thanks alot!
