OEMSkipWelcome does not work properly

Hi!

My unattend.txt does not work as expected. I have set

OemPreinstall = Yes
OEMSkipWelcome = 1

as described various Microsoft websites and the ref.chm.

But the "Welcome Screen" pops up every time. The rest of the installation works without interruption, there is just this annoying screen which smash all my efforts of a "Dont-need-to-touch-it-Installation". :-(

Is this a bug or why doesn't it work like written in the reference? Hints anybody?

Thanks in advance for helping!

Regards,

Re: OEMSkipWelcome does not work properly

Have you put "OEMSkipWelcome" under the [GuiUnattended] section as opposed to [Unattended] where OemPreinstall lives?

Yes, the entries are in the right section.

Sorry for the confusion!

Perhaps run a reg file with:

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Setup\Welcome]
"srvwiz"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Setup\Welcome]
"srvwiz"=dword:00000000

after: [GuiRunOnce]

Sorry, error on my side:

OEMSkipWelcome was set to "Yes" which doesn't seem to be the same as "1" :-(


Anyway, thank you guys for your support!
