Hello all

Wondering if it's possible to install Microsoft Security Essentials during specialize pass while deploying wim images to the hard drive. So far I've only been getting the "Answer file Error"

My unattend file:

<settings pass="specialize"><component name="Microsoft-Windows-Deployment" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">            <RunSynchronous>                <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">                    <Order>1</Order>                    <Credentials>                        <Password>************</Password>                        <Username>admin</Username>                    </Credentials>                    <Path>\\192.168.10.2\TFTP\packages\MicrosoftSecurityEssentials\silentmse32.bat</Path>                    <WillReboot>OnRequest</WillReboot>                    <Description>Install Microsoft Security Essentials</Description>                </RunSynchronousCommand>            </RunSynchronous>        </component>

My batch:

@echo offecho ===========================================echo Windows OS Deployment Software Installationecho ===========================================echo.echo Installing Microsoft Security Essentials...echo.mseinstall32.exe /s

Thanks in advance!

First of all, you should have .cmd and not .bat. Second, there is no GUI in the Specialize pass, so your .cmd file shouldn't echo anything at all.

You'll need to check the setupact.log to determine what the actual error is.
