zedox Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 I had a perfect autounattend.xml that worked with my previous installation (before slipstreamed sp1) but now it fails.Does anyone have a template that works with sp1?
MAVERICKS CHOICE Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 The answer files are identical. Are you sure its not a problem with your integrated source?
sp00f Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 I had a perfect autounattend.xml that worked with my previous installation (before slipstreamed sp1) but now it fails.Does anyone have a template that works with sp1?Make a new xml, and it will work fine.
ricktendo Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 I have followed this guide and same problem, after audit it gives me error
SonyXP Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) First of all - Hello everyone I am having exactly the same problem. Whatever DVD Image I use (Vista / Vista SP1 / VLited Vista with SP1),I cannot get applications to be installed automatically, using autounattend.xml.<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> <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"> <UILanguage>de-DE</UILanguage> <UserLocale>de-DE</UserLocale> <SystemLocale>de-DE</SystemLocale> <InputLocale>0407:00000407</InputLocale> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" 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"> <UserData> <ProductKey> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> <Key>removed</Key> </ProductKey> <AcceptEula>true</AcceptEula> <FullName>Sony</FullName> <Organization>Sony</Organization> </UserData> <Display> <ColorDepth>32</ColorDepth> <HorizontalResolution>1280</HorizontalResolution> <VerticalResolution>1024</VerticalResolution> </Display> <ImageInstall> <OSImage> <InstallFrom> <MetaData wcm:action="add"> <Key>/IMAGE/NAME</Key> <Value>Windows Vista HOMEPREMIUM</Value> </MetaData> </InstallFrom> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> <InstallToAvailablePartition>false</InstallToAvailablePartition> </OSImage> </ImageInstall> </component> </settings> <settings pass="specialize"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Security-Licensing-SLC-UX" 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"> <SkipAutoActivation>true</SkipAutoActivation> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Deployment" 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"> <RunSynchronous> <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Order>1</Order> <Path>cmd /c "FOR %i IN (C D E F G H I J K L N M O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %i:\AppsRoot.txt SETX AppsRoot %i: -m"</Path> </RunSynchronousCommand> <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Order>2</Order> <Path>%WINDIR%\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /quiet /audit</Path> </RunSynchronousCommand> </RunSynchronous> </component> </settings> <settings pass="oobeSystem"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" 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"> <AutoLogon> <Enabled>true</Enabled> <LogonCount>2</LogonCount> <Username>Administrator</Username> </AutoLogon> <Display> <ColorDepth>32</ColorDepth> <DPI>96</DPI> <HorizontalResolution>1024</HorizontalResolution> <VerticalResolution>768</VerticalResolution> </Display> <OOBE> <HideEULAPage>true</HideEULAPage> <NetworkLocation>Home</NetworkLocation> <ProtectYourPC>3</ProtectYourPC> <SkipMachineOOBE>true</SkipMachineOOBE> <SkipUserOOBE>true</SkipUserOOBE> </OOBE> <TimeZone>W.

Sometimes, an error window occurs saying something like ".... cannot initialize interactive login window / procedure" (trying to translate it out of german), quitting everything. The other amount of tries, the system just reboots at that point, instantly. As test example, I try to get Firefox autoinstalled, during the setup process. When I only use all lines concerning "language, country, serial, EULA etc", the whole thing works just fine.The file is created by copy & paste and I added the Firefox installation part in WAIK (newest for Vista SP1 / Server 2008). Does anyone see a problem in the xml, or has an example code snippet / xml file of "how to successfully have program x installed during windows setup ?" I read many guides, yet I cannot figure out why this is failing.Thanks a lot in advanceGreetings from germany/Sony Edited June 16, 2008 by SonyXP
oskingen Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) I have the same problem, I have followed the guide but it seems it doesn't work with the vista sp1 from msdn (don't know for oem). I made a lot of tests because first i thought it was my file but i saw on the net that this procedure do not work with sp1. Everytime i tried when i reach the completing installation step... i got an error that appear very fast so i cannot read it and the computer turn off itself. I made the followings modifications in the Autounattend file: Microsoft-Windows-Deployment\Reseal [ ForceShutdownNow = false | Mode = Audit ] in oobeSysteminstead of this command %WINDIR%\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /quiet /auditin Synchronous Command to Pass 4 specialize because this cause my computer to turn off during setupthen in AuditSystem pass, insert Windows-Shell-Setup\Autologonfor the Administrator also Windows-Shell-Setup\UserAccounts\AdministratorPasswordin the AuditSystem pass with the same password if set.I didn't finish my test but like this my installation didn't get error. The only problem i had was to manually select my input local, recommend setting...at the end of the installation even if it was already in the xml file.I need to find a way out Edited June 16, 2008 by hannubys
SonyXP Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) Hey, nice to see a reply on this matter.Mate, would you mind to post your full AutoUnattend.xml (without sensitive information like serial etc of course )in a codebox, so I can do some comparison to mine, for a better understanding ? Thanks in advance Edited June 16, 2008 by SonyXP
