Hi all,

on my WDS server i have several windows images.
i created a prestaged entry and defined it correcly (it knows what bootimage to start)
in the prestaged entry i also gave it a unattended.xml.

the only thing is that i still need to select the image that i want to install (while this is in the xml).

is there something i missed??

xml:

Hi,

This issue could occur when there is an error during applying the unattended file. Specifically you are using a different UI language, it will fail if no such language pack exists.

Please change WillShowUI to Never and see the result. 

 <component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
            <SetupUILanguage>
                <UILanguage>nl-NL</UILanguage>
                <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI>
            </SetupUILanguage>

<WillShowUI> is actually deprecated but still worth to have a try. 

If it still not work, please edit it like this:

<component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
            <SetupUILanguage>
                <UILanguage>en-us</UILanguage>
                <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI>
            </SetupUILanguage>
            <InputLocale>nl-NL</InputLocale>
            <SystemLocale>nl-NL</SystemLocale>
            <UILanguage>nl-NL</UILanguage>
            <UserLocale>nl-NL</UserLocale>
            <UILanguageFallback>en-us</UILanguageFallback>
        </component>

unfortunatly it did not change anything.

although the setup UI languige was indeed menth to be en-us, becouse the boot.wim is in english.

1. i have not set a default xml as default.
2. i changed the UIlanguige to en-US < no result
3. i changed the UIlanguige to en-us < no result
4. i changed the WillshowUI to Never < no results in combination with en-us,en-US or nl-NL
5. all other settings works fine, such as the username/password. hard disk setting, etc

i have this WDSUnattend.xml set in "prestaged" > "Clientunattend"

then in the image i have set a OOBEunattend.xml that works fine(exept for the computername)

I select this image manually, then the rest goes unattended:

New WDS client unattend XML:

Hi,

Please have a try to change all language related entries to en-us to see the result. I would like to first confirm if it is the cause of the issue. 

  <component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
            <SetupUILanguage>
                <UILanguage>en-us</UILanguage>
                <WillShowUI>Never</WillShowUI>
            </SetupUILanguage>
            <InputLocale>nl-NL</InputLocale>
            <SystemLocale>nl-NL</SystemLocale>
            <UILanguage>en-us</UILanguage>
            <UserLocale>nl-NL</UserLocale>
            <UILanguageFallback>en-us</UILanguageFallback>
        </component>

If issue still exists please use Shift+F10 to open a command prompt, change the directory to X:\Windows\Panther and upload setupact.log and setuperr.log onto OneDrive.

Note: It will be shared to public so remove private information like computer name, domain name etc if needed. 

i changed all the languiges to en-us.

even if i switch off all other boot images and install images it shows.
if i set the wdsunattend.xml as default for the entire processor group, it still forces me to choose the image.
