Strange problems with v1.9.0.7330

[Xiphan]

I am experiencing a strange issue with the latest version of NTLite. It seems like options that I select in the Unattended section are not being created in the resulting autounattend.xml file. Also options that I select in Post-Setup like the hibernate and password expiration templates, which I know in the past used to be added to autounattend.xml as FirstLogonCommands, are also not being created.

I also added a small image file to Post-Setup which then displays the following message in the Parameters column:

< use as "%WINDIR%\Setup\Files\TestFile.bmp" >

But when I test the iso and check for the existence of this file it is not there. Are these in fact bugs with NTLite or am I doing something wrong?

Did you reload the image after integration? I reported a separate bug (fixed in the next build) about % symbol in post-setup commands, which had created two problems after reloading the image.

• duplicated post-setup lines inserted below the placeholder
• unattended answers are disabled (blank)

No, I didn't remount the image. I began with an unmodified image extracted from an official ISO and I re-did everything from scratch in one pass.

Post-setup commands are added in the setupcomplete.cmd file, not unattended.
You can invoke that file with Unattended, if OEM keys are used (toolbar option), but that's a separate topic.

Is the image isolated, outside of the ISO structure, like a single WIM file, or you are loading the entire ISO content?
To get the creation of .\autounattend.xml, make sure to use the full ISO content, and apply changes.
If it still doesn't work, please attach the preset and tell me what to look for.

Thanks.

Okay, thank you for clearing that up for me. It turns out I had used another tool in the past to create an autounattend.xml file and it was the culprit for me thinking there was something missing because it created several entries under <FirstLogonCommands> in the answer file. However, one thing that I did find interesting is that when I re-ran the test, where I placed a small bmp file in the Post Setup section, that file only appears in the resulting image if I use the OEM SetupComplete option under Unattended. Is this behaviour intentional?

I always start from scratch with a fully extracted ISO when I am doing testing.

nuhi When I reload an image after it's done integrating, my unattended answers are always disabled. The unattended.xml in the image folder is correct, but it's not re-imported. Same problem even on version 7407.
