    I couldn't find any info regarding this issue even using Google to limit to this site.

    I am using the ISOs from this thread:
    https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...ild-26100-pc-24h2-dev-ge-release.88220/unread
    "26100.1 OEM ISOs (May 29. 2024)"

    CLIENT_CONSUMER, CLIENT_ENTERPRISES_OEM, or CLIENTENTERPRISE_OEM..

    Background information: I have a menu-driven script that generates unattended files and places packages on the ISO to be copied and executed post-install based on whether it's 10 or 11, base version and hotfix version. I don''t believe my script to be the issue.

    I am focusing on Win 11 24H2 Enterprise (non-LTSC), I thought at first I had the wrong ISO as they seemed to structure them differently this time. It seems to be any edition really.


    Basically when I use my unattended file in the root of the ISO, setup prompts me to install drivers and won't let me bypass it. Without an unattended file, setup works fine.

    The generated unattended file checks out using the ADK from the same link other than that SkipUserOOBE and SkipMachineOOBE is deprecated and no other errors.

    I've attached the unattended file.. sensitive info has been replaced to 'SanitizedEncrypted' or 'SensitivedPII' since I know it uses a simple base64 encoding for passwords that is easily revesible...



    I'm kinda stumped on this one, I can usually figure out why my unattended file generates an error but the ADK in the same download links says my answer file is OK other than the OOBE entries. I'm not sure why it's asking for drivers just using an unattended file.

    No dice.

    Even tried eliminating entire sections such as 'windowsPE' pass & 'Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE', auditsystem, servicing/optional packages, anything else even if it seemed unrelated such as the commands I have run during setup, OOBE, autologon PW/count, nixing the creation of local accounts, etc.

    I tried updating the 'cdimage' file used in the UUP downloader to create the ISO, but no luck there either. This is the command I use to create the ISO.

    I've also tried to boot the image from a physical notebook (MSI GS66) via USB with the same results. I have used this method of generating unattended installs on this notebook with success in the past, it is compatible (& and came with) Windows 11, but 24H2 using unattended files still didn't work on the MSI either.

    I'm not modifying any files of the OS image, I'm just placing an unattended file in the root of the setup location and 24H2 is having a fit to where it asks for drivers in VMware and phsycial PCs for some reason need addttional drivers.

    To add driver

    The best are use dism

    Mount image and integrate

    Or use old ways...
    Create folder on root of DVD iso called $WinPEDriver$

    Add all your driver ( inf format extracted ) folders there

    Hi redxii.

    I really dont think windows 24H2 is ready. Why because i installed windows 11 Iot Enterprise LTSC everything seem'ed to running just grate. then i open microsoft windows defender security center what should open right away takes 3 or 4 sec. it refuses to go into fullscreen gaming. So i then insatlled windows 11 pro 24H2 mouse movements ware a bit weird, microsoft windows defender security center
    did not want to work. just opening windows notepad it said update available. So i went back to windows 11 Enterprise 23H2 all is fine again.

    Turns out there was something wrong with how I create the ISOs, not the unattended file. I only do clean boot installs, my ISO script removes files that aren't nececessary from starting from GUI with an install; to do a clean install from booting that apparently that changed with 24H2.

    My script used these inclusions via 7-Zip when extracting the ISO:

    Until Win 11 24H2, Win 10 currently shared the same bare minimum structure booting from ISO but there are more requirements regarding to avoid this error with 11 24H2 apparently. I just edited my script to take the full structure of the 24H2 ISOs and it worked fine. Other than Task Manager, it put everything back they way I like it and executed all the scripts correctly.

    Thanks for everyone that helped.
