Some time ago a problem appeared on my unattended Windows Vista installation that caused some headaches.
The error was:
Windows could not parse or process unattend answer file [C:\Windows\Panther\unattend.xml] for pass [oobeSystem]. The setttings specified in the answer file cannot be applied. The error was detected while processing settings for component [Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup]
After some research I’ve realized that the problem was an option called ShowMediaCenter (that stands for showing or not showing the Windows Media Center icon on the Start Menu) that I’ve changed to False.
Because my Windows Vista is the Enterprise Version (and so, doesn’t have Media Center), this was causing an error on the answer file.
So…if your Windows Vista version is not Home Premium or Ultimate, you should not configure this setting with no value.
By the way, you can find this setting using Windows System Image Manager (WSIM) under:
- Unattend -> 4 specialize -> x86_Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup_neutral -> WindowsFeatures
