I had made Autounattend Vista installation DVD using WSIM in WAIK, all worked ok but it cannot set the customized Theme......

I have saved a customized theme with customized aero color and wallpaper, and this theme file copied with a $OEM$ configuration set, but when installation complete,theme didnot set...,,,but I can set it manual in control panel.

this is the code in autounattend.xml:

			<Themes>
				<CustomDefaultThemeFile>%systemroot%\Resources\Themes\VIVIAV.theme</CustomDefaultThemeFile>
				<DefaultThemesOff>false</DefaultThemesOff>
			</Themes>

this is content of VIVIAV.theme:

What pass are you setting it in? Is it in oobeSystem or specialize

Haven't seen that before, could try removing the <DefaultThemesOff> part

Cause this is a little confusing

true

Specifies that the classic Windows visual style is displayed, instead of the default visual style.

false

Specifies that the default visual style is displayed.

With OOBE enabled it didnt work for me either, but with everything automated, users accounts and stuff tooo CustomTheme worked for me...

Out Of Box Experience, I mean the user account create screen etc.. When you dont have that automated in your xml, your custom theme entry in your xml wont work either.

No sir that doesnt work.

Any news on this one? even in Sp1 it doesnt work.
