Autounattend.xml issue with Windows Server 2008 x64 R2 SERVERDATACENTE

in Unattended Windows 7/Server 2008R2

Problem description:

I am currently working on a fresh Autounattend.xml for the new Windows Server 2008 x64 R2 release.

At first I used an existing template I used for Windows Server 2008. Unfortunately Microsoft changed

a few thing and I had to start with a fresh *.xml.

Initially I had an issue with the registration key which was solved by moving the key to pass 4.

Now I am running into another one and I don't see where I am going wrong.

Details:

During installation a popup comes which states that there is an error in "Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup".

I checked it and could not find what was wrong.

It would be cool if someone could have a look and tell mhere I am going wrong.

My Autounattend.xml:
