Unattended Hyper-V VM(UPDATED 21-03-2016)


Recommended Posts

This application will help you to create the Hyper-V VM Silently.
This application create and compiles a .cs file to create an .exe file in runtime after providing all settings.
The application file created by this application will delete itself after everything finishes and it wont allow to close once the process started(except force closing with Task Manager).

Tested on Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter

Requirements:
1. OSCDIMG.exe (both application and this oscdimg.exe should be in same folder)
2. .Net Framework 4.5

Small Instructions(only Applied to Generated Application at runtime):
1. Application creates .xml and .cmd files in xml directory of the main application path.
2. ISO will not be deleted, we need to delete them.

Main Instruction
If there is an error in some code(mostly i tried to fix everything) the main application cannot be compiled and unable to create an installer at runtime. At that time please go to OCI folder in the application path and send me those two files(one is .cs file and *errors.txt file to look for errors).

Username and Password:

Username: User(for Client Operating Systems), Administrator(for Server Operating Systems) 
Password: password123#
