Greetings everyone,

 

I'm trying to create an autounattend.xml for Windows 10 using WSIM to make the XML. I have the following issues:

 

1) PE ask me for language, even if it's set in the answer file which I changed from en-US to en-IN

2) PE ask for to select a disk, even if it's set in the answer file

3) After choosing disk 0 from the Windows Setup, I get this error: Windows could not prepare the partition selected for installation

However, when I reboot the system, the partitions are created as per my answer file and clicking next works without any error.  Problem is I want it to work on first boot, not on second boot.

One lasting thing after installation of Windows 10 when I checked disk management Recovery partiton is showing as RAW under File System instead of NTFS
