[RESOLVED]

 

Hello,

My name is Tobias, and for a project I am trying to create a fully automated unattended installation of Windows Server 2008.

So far so good, I came to the point where server 2008 starts installing, but now I get stuck at the following window, followed by the productkey window:

 

 

Here is my xml (answer) file.

Hi, thanks for your response.

I already tried en-US before, but did not work.

I discovered that I didn't add the xml to install, so it only took the boot part.

It works now
