Asked by:
My sample autoattend.xml files doesn't work?

Question
-
Good Morning,
Can anyone please help me! I've been trying to create a Autounattend.xml file in respect of Windows 7 Professional for about six weeks now without any joy. I've used the sample file from the Windows 7 Professional DVD but unfortunately nothing appears to be working. I've copied a copy of the file for your perusal, if anyone could provide any advice or show me where I've been going wrong, I would be very grateful. I've made the alterations in Windows System Image Manager and saved it onto my USB Stick. When I place my USB stick into my new computer and the Windows DVD, nothing happens.
Thanks in advance
