Improvements to Windows Server 2008 express install
Last modified: 2016-03-31 14:00:41 UTC
While these patches improve the express installation method for Windows Server 2008, we still need a bit more work to make it completely automated. The setup still asks for things (e.g accepting of license, disk drive etc) that has been specified in the XML.

Because it was copied verbatim from Oz project.
Why would they use it then?
(In reply to comment #5) > Why would they use it then? Oz? how would I know? I removed this section from win7 on the suggestion of an Oz developer and all I know is that it made unattended install to work. Moreover, we don't need this section anyway.
ACK?
Review of attachment 203275 [details] [review]: Isn't it supposed to be where is the product key? Oz does a substitution of this fields: keys = xp.xpathEval('/ms:unattend/ms:settings/ms:component/ms:ProductKey') keys[0].setContent(self.tdl.key)

I just know for a fact that this are not needed and only breaks the automated installation. There is a reason I only added the input of product key for older windows and not Win7 and 2008.
