Gremo Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Is there a way to avoid just the prompt for product key? Thank very much
grabben Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Add defualt productkey for that version in your autounattend will work..Check the XML repository, a stickied thread here:)
Gremo Posted April 27, 2011 Author Posted April 27, 2011 Add defualt productkey for that version in your autounattend will work..Check the XML repository, a stickied thread here:)Well thanks. But what is a "default product key"? I have to use it on many machines, each with its own product key...
myselfidem Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 You can use the default product key for silent installation. There are located inside the product.ini file for each Windows version. Choose the one you need!Look: %DVD%\sources\product.ini

Choose the one you need!Look: %DVD%\sources\product.iniReally really thank you! Just a little problem: when Autounattend.xml is placed on the root of the dvd, setup stop at choose version (even if there is a ei.cfg) showing a blank line...
myselfidem Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) Check your Autounattend.xml file and use:If needed change the value <Always> with <OnError><ImageInstall> <OSImage> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> However, could you attach your Autounattend.xml file, please (delete the valid key first)?

Gremo Posted April 27, 2011 Author Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) Here is the xml answer file. File install.wim in sources has just 1 image in it (Home Premium x64).Autounattend.xml Edited April 27, 2011 by Gremo
myselfidem Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) You can add inside your Autounattend.xml:<settings pass="windowsPE"><component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="[url="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State"]http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State[/url]" xmlns:xsi="[url="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"]http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance[/url]"> <ImageInstall> <OSImage> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> <InstallFrom> <MetaData wcm:action="add"> <Key>/IMAGE/NAME</Key> <Value>Windows 7 HOMEPREMIUM</Value> </MetaData> </InstallFrom> </OSImage> </ImageInstall>Check your file with WSIM (Windows System Image Manager)*Edit: You can also find help here:http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/139572-ask-your-seven-xml-here/ Edited April 27, 2011 by myselfidem
Gremo Posted April 28, 2011 Author Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) ...Ok this is working very well. What if I add another image to the existing .wim file? Can I add more metadata in Autoattend.xml and more default keys, letting people choose a certain version? Edited April 28, 2011 by Gremo
myselfidem Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) You can find help here about your question, I think. Read my post #28All availables images are inside install.wim file! You can use: imagex /info C:\%DVD_Folder%\sources\install.wimhttp://www.msfn.org/...ry/page__st__20 Edited April 28, 2011 by myselfidem

You can use: imagex /info C:\%DVD_Folder%\sources\install.wimhttp://www.msfn.org/...ry/page__st__20I followed your post, now each edition has its key. Using the autounattend.xml in attachment all works quite fine. The only difference is, without the key in the xml, setup still ask for license agreement (just after disk partitioning).autounattend.xml Edited May 1, 2011 by Gremo
myselfidem Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 (edited) I think this can be solved adding inside your Autounattend.xml file:<component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64"...<UserData> <AcceptEula>true</AcceptEula> <FullName>EndUserName</FullName> <Organization>Fabrikam</Organization> <ProductKey> <Key></Key> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> </ProductKey></UserData> Edited May 1, 2011 by myselfidem
myselfidem Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Ok this is working very well. What if I add another image to the existing .wim file? Can I add more metadata in Autoattend.xml and more default keys, letting people choose a certain version?After many tests, I see this is possible to use an Autounattend.xml file without enter keys, but some dialog boxes will be displayed:http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/151156-rt7lite-and-aio-x86-x64/page__pid__964713__st__20#entry964713Maybe that can help you!

I still have to accept eula (right after the partition selection) and to specify languages and international settings at OOBE. Not a big problem, but i thank you for the product key tip (i dind't know it)
myselfidem Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 (edited) Thanks Gremo Yes, whithout an Autounattend.xml file the dialog boxes will be displayed. Edited May 7, 2011 by myselfidem
