Help with autounattended.xml

Hi
Where would i need to place autounattended.xml in my iso which contains 1 wim with W7 Pro x64 & W7 Home Prem x64 if i wanted to use a template from windowsafg?

NTLite autounattended works good for me to a point. When I try to automate install a prompt pops up asking me to accept ms agreement, once ticked os installs. Then asks for license key towards the end of install. How can I avoid these so it can actually be autounattended? I did uncheck wait until online to activate

I used generic keys in my xml to install one or the other os with intention to activate later once setup. I do not want to use my own keys on someone elses pc, that would be down to themseves to provide and activate.

Single os choice install does not have this problem as xml is outside the wim which can easy accessed if need be.

Thanks

if u have different editions then u can place unattend.xml inside install.wim via ntlite. there is an option for that under unattended part...

btw u don't need to write any oem, generic or special key to the unattend xml. you can leave them blank. and just press not now/i don't have key during setup...
 
Smokes,
not familiar with windowsafg, autounattend usually goes to the root of the ISO.
As ege914 stated, there is the Unattended - toolbar - Copy to install.wim if you want that instead.

MS Agreement like EULA? Make sure to accept it in the Unattended options, if you did then send me a PM with your preset and I'll test it.

Pre-Win10 setup might ask for the activation key at the end, not sure if it can be skipped like the Setup key.
Potentially you can skip OOBE, but then make sure it works as expected, test both only one SkipUserOOBE and SkipMachineOOBE in a VM.
 
Nuhi & ege914 Thank you both for the help.
I am still having to tick MS EULA. just at the beginning of install I would have attached xml here but can't see anything which would let me. I will try PM
When you say root would it be ok to place it in C:\Windows or would it have to be higher?

Smokes,
got the xml, thanks.
To me it works fine, it booted until disk selection, no other prompts before it.
Make sure to rename it to autounattend.xml and put at the root of the ISO as ege914 showed.
Or edit a new fresh official ISO and let NTLite position it, you setup the Unattended page and apply (no need to copy to install.wim by default).
