Can you set the unattended XML to choose OS?

[LeveL]

I have the Ultimate Edition of Vista and stripped it with vLite, but this is more of

an unattended issue rather than vLite - this DVD being the Ultimate Vista had all

versions on it (Standard, Business etc) and after using vLite it is now only the

Ultimate Edition on its own, but, I am getting this screen coming up...

... there is only the Ultimate Edition on this disc so i want the XML file to just

choose this one without popping this screen up.

Shall I just blame Nuhi?

Only joking, but seriously, is it because it has (vLite) in the name the WAIK

is ignoring it?

I was installing this with no key, because it is when I put my product key in,

thats when this screen pops up - if I leave the key blank this screen does

not pop up!

Yes, I have already tried (in the WAIK System Image Manager) to choose

the product but it had no effect, this one...

If it is putting in the product key that is causing the first image then what can I do?

After looking at prathapml's code for an unattended Ultimate install

I put this in with the WAIK:

<InstallFrom>
<MetaData wcm:action="add">
<Value>Windows Vista (vLite) ULTIMATE</Value>
<Key>1</Key>
</MetaData>
</InstallFrom>

But it didn't work so I tried this:

<InstallFrom>
<MetaData wcm:action="add">
<Value>Windows Vista ULTIMATE</Value>
<Key>1</Key>
</MetaData>
</InstallFrom>

Didn't work either!

HELP!

Try this...should work.

<InstallFrom>
       <MetaData wcm:action="add">
             <Key>/IMAGE/INDEX</Key>
             <Value>1</Value>
       </MetaData>
</InstallFrom>

       </MetaData>
</InstallFrom>

Thanks for taking the time to post this, it works perfectly!

shout i put <value>4</vlaue> for ultimate? or 1 is enough ? as my product key restricts to only this version, though i have all versions on that dvd..

[Sereby]

he has only that image in the install.wim..

if you have an untouched dvd then its the value 4

[finnish]

yes i did put 4 and it worked. but now i slimmed down install.wim to only 1 image. so should i put 1? or 0?

[Sereby]

yup you have to use the image number 1 then

imagex /info YOURPATHHERE\sources\install.wim > YOURPATHHERE\sources\installwim.txt

Not too hard to figure it out from there.
