DosProbie Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) I have a single OS Image of Windows 8 Pro with Media Center with a Autounattend.xml answer file that I have got down to 2 install screens before going to the desktop, The "Select your operating System" for Windows 8 Pro with Media Center X64 and then the Partition Screen. Since I only have a single OS image I would like to skip over the Select your OS and go straight to the Partition Screen. My question is where in Settings Pass would I add the skipping over the Select OS? Everything else is working perfect with the Windows Install key installing and Preactivated with my free WMC key . I am not using the ei.cfg nor the pid.tx or setupcomplete. If someone has done this successfully then I would really appreciate the help.. See my attached xml file.Thanks Again Edited February 25, 2013 by DosProbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 If it is prompting you to select an image, it probably doesn't like your product key. It should be enough, but you may want to add the ImageInstall object:<ImageInstall> <OSImage> <InstallFrom> <MetaData wcm:action="add"> <Key>/IMAGE/NAME</Key> <Value>Windows 7 ULTIMATE</Value> </MetaData> </InstallFrom> </OSImage> </ImageInstall>And specify the image name as it appears in your WIM.
