Setup [offlineServicing] error (Windows 7 x64 sp1)

[Mark7ones]

I had successfully installed Win7 from usbdrive using Autounattend.xml file and installed Win7 with integrated updates

following standard procedure.

If I try to deploy unattended installation of a Windows copy with integrated updates I get this error.

It seems like Windows cannot handle integrated updates in unattended mode.

Maybe some istruction in xml file's needed.

Autounattend.xml

Your image has IE10 integrated. I already said on TechNet you need to remove the IEWelcomeMessage object from your answer file or else you will get this error.

See here for reference:

It didn't work even without IE10 integration.

Making unattended installation with Microsoft is a nightmare.

There's a problem for every pass...

For example, I wanted to disable some features or packages and it didn't work.

Now I know that I have to apply unattend.xml to install.wim to make it works.

For updates it seems unattend switch (Sysprep) is required...

What can I say?

Microsoft f**k off!
