Where to add an answer file to the Windows 8 DVD media

Hi,
I would like to use my answer file when manually building computers from the Windows 8 DVD media. Where does the answer need to be stored on the Windows 8 DVD so that Setup will use its settings during the installation process? The last time I did this
was with Windows XP so I'm not sure if this ability exists with Windows 7 or 8.
Thanks,
Rob

Hay Dudes, C:\Temp\winpe was my main working directory I added my wim image to C:\Temp\winpe\ISO\sources and used OSCDimg -n -bc:\winpe\iso\boot\etfsboot.com c:\winpe\ISO C:\ITwin7x64.ISO
Assuming my c:\winpe drive is very basic and as follows
>dir
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is ACA4-3AB4
 Directory of c:\winpe

Where would I include the Autounattend.xml file prior to running OSCDimg?. does this file need to be called Autounattend??
Cheers for any help

  • How to open appleworks file in the WINDOWS.

    I use the MAC 8.6. I want appleworks file can use in the windows. How i can use applework file in the windows.
    Thank you very much for your help.

    As suggested in Michael's post, what you do depends on what translators were supplied with the version of AppleWorks you have installed.
    With the file open, go to the File menu and choose Save as...
    In the Save dialogue, look for a popup menu to choose the file format in which you can save the file.
    If there are Windows applications listed in the menu, choose one of them.
    If not, choose RTF (if available, although I recall some problems with moving RTF files from Mac to Windows or vice versa), or Text. Neither of these will transfer graphic objects. RTF will keep some text formatting. Text will transfer only the raw text.
    If the Windows user has ClarisWorks or AppleWorks (same or newer whole number version) installed, you should be able to transfer the files as AppleWorks files, making sure that you add the .cwk suffix to the file name.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Need to create, build, or obtain the Windows 7 INSTALLATION media, not the recovery stuff

    I want to be able to install Windows 7 on a Thinkpad WITHOUT all the factory installed stuff.  I DO NOT NEED the recovery image "solution" that comes preinstalled on the laptop.  I need to be able to create a clean Windows 7 installtion that we can image and deploy without the preloaded stuff.
    Basically, is there a way, and if so, how do I create a Windows 7 INSTALLATION  media, not the recovery stuff? If this can't be done, do I need to purchase the media from Lenovo?  An example of what I'm looking for:  Dell makes it very easy to do this. You can create the Windows 7 installation media. Just like the Windows XP and 2000 CD/DVD's they used to ship.
    I have searched and can't find anything the addresses this.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I'm taking a guess that you're looking for a vanilla Win 7 installer download.  As sarbin said, if that's not your issue, please start another thread.  (At least this will update that stale link - for a while.)
    The content in that link got pulled a while back.
    Here's a fresher link that still works (for how long, who knows...)  Even includes SP1.
    Default Legal Download: Windows 7 with SP1, 13 languages
    These are Microsoft installer DVD ISOs that still require activation.  If you choose one that matches the COA on the target machine (home premium, pro, ultimate), they can be activated with that COA.  it will require phone activation.

  • How do I add a music file to the playlist I made in iTunes for my iPhone4?

    Apple Tech suggested I make a Playlist for tunes I wanted to play on my iPhone 4, syncing the list to the iPhone 4. But I cannot figure out how to add tunes to this list I made once. I try to drag and drop from my iTunes library, directly on top of this Playlist, but itunes refuses to copy the file to the list. Apple told me not to add music files by manually dropping them on the iPhone4 in iTunes. They specifically said to not do this any longer. So I tried to drop them on the Playlist, but no joy.
    Once I have made a Playlist for the iPhone 4, and synced to the list, how does one ADD any songs to this Playlist?

    Nevermind. In the iTunes Area I can drag and drop tunes onto the iTunes playlist I made, but NO I can't drag and drop to a synced list in the iPhone area of iTunes. Reason is that it only represents the list I sync to in iTunes.
    I did download a Doug Script where I can add files from one play list to another which is neat. Donated some cash for it.

  • How do I add a jar file into the build path of the compiler?

    Hey,
    I'm trying to import a jar file into the build path of the compilation process, but it does not find the packages or the classes that are in it.
    I think I don't add it right...
              ArrayList<String> options=new ArrayList<String>();
              options.add("-d");
              options.add(targetDirectory);
              options.add("-classpath");
              for(String str:includeDirectory)
                   options.add(str);
              if (!compiler.getTask(writer, fileManager, diagnostics, options, classes, compilationUnits).call());
                    ....and I've tried this way:
         public void setTargetDirectory(String targetDirectory) {
              this.targetDirectory = "-d " + targetDirectory;
         private void compile(Iterable<? extends JavaFileObject> compilationUnits) throws Exception {
              ArrayList<String> options = new ArrayList<String>();
              options.add(targetDirectory);
              String classPath="-cp ";// tried this also with "-classpath"
              for (String str : includeDirectory)
                   classPath+=str+":";
              options.add(classPath);
         if (!compiler.getTask(writer, fileManager, diagnostics, options, classes, compilationUnits).call())
              // throw new Exception("Compilation Error");
         }Thanks in advance,

    Thank you for your reply,
    Q: Are there .class files in that directory in that jar file? (the compiler doesn't ( can't )) look for directories, it can just look for specific files , and scan to get a list of all files matching certain criteria. So if there are no class files, it will say the package doesn't exist, even if there is a directory, possibly containing other files.yes there are class files in the jar, the tree structure:
    j2MeDataChunkGenerator_Plugin\(lots of class files)
    META-INF\manifest.mf
    and thats it.
    , your code will only work on windows because other platforms use a different path separator. You should use java.io.File.pathSeparator not explicit ';" when building your classpath. (this is unrelated to your problem, but you should correct it)will do, thanks.
    Q: Is that error in your post formatted by your own diagnostics? (we could possibly help you better if we didn't have to guess!!)I would not post my own error code, this text is generated by the compiler diagnostic.
    {code}
         System.err.println(" Error details: " + diagnostic.getMessage(null));
    {code}
    Q: Is line 3 of ImageCroper_Editor.java (sic) an import statement? (we could possibly help you better if we didn't have to guess!!)it is an import error... didn't the error message stated that it is an import problem? wired, I'm sure before it did. anyway it is an import error.
    Also you don't show us what the variable includeDirectory is in terms of type, and contents, that might be helpful. (we could possibly help you better if we didn't have to guess!!)It has only one String object: "D:\%Important Documents\WorkSpaces\PacMan\ApplicationManager\Plug-in\Data Chunk Designer.jar"
    the last file on the classpath list.
    Q: Have you proven this? that i did post, in this long line of text.
    Q: Is the compiler finding other classes (in other packages) in that same jar file?No. all the class files are in the jar, they all have entries that start with "j2MeDataChunkGenerator_Plugin\*.class", and since I get 47 errors I guess it does not load any other class.
    thank you for you comments, the problem with having these errors, is that I can't even get a piece of information where this error is coming from, only that it is an import loading error package not found, what does that mean? that the jar was not loaded in compilation(no error about this), that the jar is corrupted(no error about this), that the path is incorrect(it is correct I made sure), that there is no such package in the jar(There is), that the compiler does not load the package(does it even do that?), really I can't even guess why this happens, I've been at this on and of all day today, really annoying.
    Thanks,
    Adam.

  • My itunes stops working when i try to add a music file to the library. how do i fix this?

    when I open iTunes and try to add a music file to my library from my computer, I slecet the song and click open and then it just comes up with the error message saying that iTunes has stopped woking and closes the program... ive tried everything- uninstalling and reinstalling the program and even disabling my antivirus software. I have no other ideas about how to fix this?

    If you are still having this problem, the fix below takes care of it.  It was posted in another conversation by Sony Singh. I did it, rebooted, and all works!!
    Copy QTMovieWin.dll from:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    Hope this helps or you've already done the fix, especially since you posted in October.

  • How can I add my own files to the TV Shows Library instead of the Movie Library?

    I have my own TV Shows in m4v format.  I can drag and drop the TV Shows into the iTunes Movie Library.  How can I add my files to the TV Shows Library?  Can I group them by show in the TV Shows Library?

    Select the files in iTunes.
    Right click - get info.
    Select the Options tab and set Media kind to TV Show.
    Better yet, use something like MetaZ to tag the files before adding them to iTunes.

  • I can not add a wmv file to the library. It is not protected

    Can not add a video file to Itunes library and even when I try to open the video using "open with Itunes", Itunes start but instead of the video I see the music library

    iTunes cannot play nor convert WMV files. You'll need to use a third-party application to convert the video to a format iTunes can accept.

  • Need to load only delta where I receive full initial file all the time

    Hi All,
    Can any one let me know is there any feature in DS where we can load only delta/updated/changed fileds from the flat file (which is full load)...
    Scenario is : system will send all the time full initial load in a flat file format where DS need to load initially all the records later it has to update only the delta changes... So wondering do I need to perform full load in DS all the time or is there any feature to load initially full file and load only updates moving forward?
    Thanks
    Rajeev

    If you are indeed getting a full dump of the entire target table from the source system, every time, you may find it faster to truncate-and-reload your target table, depending on what else (if anything) goes in there, the number and nature of transformations, etc. Running a really large set of records through a Table Comparison transform, comparing on all fields (which it sounds like you'd need to do), can take a while, and given that you've always got "all the records," may be beside the point.
    You also may want to investigate the use of checksum fields. It's possible that adding (and, of course, calculating) checksum fields on each row in both the source and target and then comparing those to identify updates would be faster than doing a Table Comparison transform-based comparison of each field, for each record.
    Best wishes,

  • How do i Add An Audiobook file to the Audiobook Library Folder????

    I have an audiobook I've downloaded and want to put it in the folder under Library called Audiobooks so they are all together. How do I do this??? The Audiobook is currently in my music folder. Both the audiobooks and music folders are under the Library folder. I can't seem to move this file into the audiobook folder from the music folder. How is this done?????

    You didn't indicate the source of your audiobook, so I'll try to cover both bases.
    First base: If you bought your audiobook from Audible.com and have authorized your computer correctly, the audiobook should go into the built-in Audiobooks folder automagically after you've imported it. This is how I purchase audiobooks – I buy them from Audible, download them directly from Audible's site, then import them into iTunes. Audible spoken word files end with .aa .
    Second base: If you did not get your audiobook from the iTunes Store or Audible, it appears you're out of luck. The Audiobooks folder in the Source Pane is for audiobooks from Audible or the iTunes Store only:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304706
    However, you can make your own smart playlist for your audiobooks. Use 'Get Info' (command-I), choose 'Info', and set the genre of your audiobooks to 'Audiobook' or 'Spoken Word' (or whatever suits you). Then, make a smart playlist to catch them and ignore the default Audiobooks folder from then on.
    When you sync your iPod, that playlist will show up under Music/Playlists, not on the iPod's Main Menu. You can then change the settings on your iPod to not show the prefab Audiobooks folder on the Main Menu.
    It's not an elegant solution, but you'll have all your audiobooks together.
