Problem in unattended installation of Windows 10 OS image from its ISO

Question

Hi There,
I am trying to install unattended Windows 10 OS image from its ISO by unattended.xml. While doing it windows boot screen get stuck at windows setup screen where it ask input for Language, TIme format and Keyboard input method. For same
process if I use windows 8.1 ISO for installation it works fine. From technet I come to know that Windows 10 has NT DISM version as 6.4 and 8.1 has 6.3.  But I am not getting how I can make these change in my automation..
We are creating a FLP file which includes (unattended.xml and few other files)and then specify that file to Vmware workstation Windows 10 image floppy drive and Windows 10 iso to DVD drive and then booting the VM.
Same process works for Windows 8.1 OS unattended installation but it is getting failed for Windows 10.
Please help.
Regards,
Nortonboy
