Unattend file problems

[Wiggerz]

Hello,

My problem is the next thing:

"Windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of installation. To install Windows, restart te installation".

This is the screen I get when I want to install Windows Vista Business with WDS and a unattend file.

Here can you see my "Autounattend.xml" file:
