    HI,
    I am having a problem.
    I downloaded options #3 and #4.
    Followed the instructions and when i tried to use it I get an error saying there is no Install.wim.
    I removed the #4 download and it runs just fine.

    I would truly like to use the automation process, can anyone help me?


    Also on a side note:
    Regarding the ei.cfg discussion.
    If I understand this right, deleteing it will only allow me to see the other versions IF the other versions are on the disc.
    How can I check to see if those other version are available and if not how can I add them?

    #3 is with daz loader.

    Is there really an Install.wim in the sources folder?.
    have you placed the $oem$ in sources folder?.


    #4 is the autounattended.xml which automates the setup.

    This works fine with no $oem$ folder?


    Ofcourse it only lets you install any available edition in that image.. its not like it magically adds every edition..

    Open "sources" folder and see if you have *.clg files and how many you have. Or you can use "Deployment Tools Command Prompt" (Comes with WAIK) and use imagex /info "path to dvdfolder".

    If you want to add use Imagex /export "path to other .wim" "indexnumber" "path to dvdfolder\sources\install.wim" "name of that other version"

    Example: imagex /export d:\new.wim 1 d:\dvd\sources\install.wim "Windows 7 new 64bit"

    yes there is an install.wim in the sources folder.

    I have not tried to use the autoattended.xml without the $oem$ folder.

    It seems that the error is due to the removal of the EI.CFG.
    I think it may be looking for the other editions that are not there??

    No its not, deleting ei.cfg is just letting you install any other version available on that image.

    Well this just does not work.
    Plane and simple it will just not work.

    I have made ISO's from 3 different version DVDs.
    All original ISO's load just fine.
    If I add the $OEM$ or the Autounattended.xml or delete ei.cfg it gives me the error missing instal.wim.

    ANY IDEAS WHY?

    I just downloaded the newest version and made a new DVD today. I did a fresh install on an IBM (Lenovo) Thinkpad X300 and rather than installing a lenovo background and activating it installed an IBM background and I had to manually add the Lenovo certs by hand once I did then it activated fine.
    One or two versions ago on the same model machine it pre activated and installed the Lenovo background.

    Could be beacuse the script identified your computer as an IBM and not lenovo.. Areas in BIOS are checked and not just biosbrand.

    @racky29 ...

    tcntad's earlier comment applied in earlier versions when runonce actions occurred, but now no runonce actions are applied.

    so, you can delete UAC.reg file if you like ... you can also edit SetupComplete.cmd as follows, to remove UAC entry (optional):-

    Code:
    @echo off

::check activation status, and exit::
START /WAIT /B cscript //nologo "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\slmgr.vbs" -dli | findstr /C:"License Status: Licensed"
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 goto :NOT_LICENSED
RD /S /Q "%WINDIR%\Setup\Scripts" >nul
DEL /F /Q %0% >nul
EXIT

::run loader & logos if not activated::
:NOT_LICENSED
%~dp0"Windows Loader.exe" /silent /preactivate >nul
cd %~dp0
attrib -R -A -S -H *.*
DEL /F /Q %~dp0"Windows Loader.exe" >nul
SHUTDOWN /R /T 25
DEL /F /Q %0% >nul
EXIT
    @Metal ...

    tcntad's comment "Could be beacuse the script identified your computer as an IBM and not lenovo.. Areas in BIOS are checked and not just biosbrand."
    ... is correct.

    Solution to have Lenovo theme/logos applied and activate as Lenovo is small edit to OOBE.cmd ..... IBM entries under ::manufacturer brand check/set::, moved below LENOVO entries.

    Do you use Download Link 1?

    selkov ...

    just seen you are having problems involving Autounattend ... I will have a read/think and get back to you.
