rexnorthwood Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 Nope!The problem was I am installing 64-bit OS.I had selected x86 components, and my product key matches 64-bit version. I opened my Autunattend.xml in notepad and did a find/replace for x86 and replaced with amd64.Simple enough.The problems I have here is that MS does not have appeared to have this documented -Why not? and Why is the tag still "amd64"? (yes I know the historical reason)And this is all rhetorical.THANKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 You already know, but for posterity I'll reply for others that do not - amd64 was the build tree for the first 64bit versions of Windows that were not based on the Itanium (ia64), and was the technical name for the architecture before it was changed to the more vendor-agnostic x86_64. As to documentation, it's in the Windows AIK User's Guide, under the "Understanding Settings and Properties" section:ProcessorArchitecture Specifies the processor architecture of the component or package. Some valid values include x86, ia64, amd64, wow64, and msil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rexnorthwood Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Nope!don't matter, you will still need what I showed for it to Not Stop...I did not NEED what you posted.... I don't know for sure, but I presume because I have a CD key for Ultimate it installed just fine without your addition.Thanks anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
