GamerOS Windows 10 & 11 DIY Preset

Question for the Community,

When I try and build an ISO with unattended Setup , the ISO creates fine, however when I go to use it it gets stuck at Setup is starting and I waited for 4 hours and nothing seems to happen.

I took the Gameros XML and used that on windows 10 and windows 11 and have the same issue.

When I remove the unattended section and re-create the ISO and deploy install works with no issues ( just not unattended)

I have also used the Oracle VM Virtual box and the deploy work with no issues (including the unattended install)

Any ideas what I should try ?
 
Maybe a screen capture (from a phone) would better explain what part it's stuck on.
 
ok, maybe I'm missing a core fundamental fact on how this should work.

I took the XML file provided by Garlin , and removed the disk setup so it will manually ask what partition to install to ( I have multiple partitions on the hard drive and I do not want to wipe the entire drive)
created the ISO and it gets stuck on setup is starting (used today_auto)

I then took another computer to test the unattended ISO on and it works with no issues

Then I used the Preset file today_manual which is a copy from the Garlin file, and removed the unattended setup and it works with no issue on the computer I have been having the issues with

I would think the above steps would prove there is nothing wrong with the ISO file I'm using, bit something unique to this PC

Any thing else I should try ?

Try put in a generic key as you skip both local and online account setup.
Install still want you to comply with license agreement which is'nt possible as you skip key/ Oobe q's and therefore get stuck.
 
or "remote" removals, ntlite can modify an already installed offline partition.
 
I always have a dual boot system(w10 installed, w7 deployed) now for when there is a Code Brown alert.
 
I'm looking to have the unattended setup , as I need to use that for several computers.

It is strange that the Unattended ISO does not work, but a regular ISO does, So I have to be missing something.

I disconnected the Ethernet cable so the install could not download anything , and the manual install works fine, but unattended does not.

You didn't mentioned this before! Does the other PC's boot disk have multiple partitions too?

When you use Unattended and don't specify the <InstallTo> directive, Setup makes its own decision on which partition to install Windows, and that might not be what you wanted. <InstallToAvailablePartition>false says don't overwrite any partition that has a Windows folder.

This extra XML is required for your PC's install:
XML: 
                                                <InstallTo>
                                                        <DiskID>0</DiskID>
                                                        <PartitionID>2</PartitionID>
                                                </InstallTo>
                                                <InstallToAvailablePartition>false</InstallToAvailablePartition>

I've done the edit. Replace <PartitionID> with the correct one.

Thanks to all, the issue has been resolved. For some strange reason the unattended install required the Sata Drivers to be added.

Appreciate everyone's Help
