Unattend.xml The Specified File Does Not Exist
Nov 26, 2015 Windows Could Not parse or process unattend answer file for. Specified in the answer file does not exist'. Is in my unattend.xml file there's the. In any case my unattend file is valid and does successfully process all. I filled out all of this sysprep stuff so that landesk would create the unattend.xml file.
Is the error I am getting. I am not using MDT, WS or anything fancy for deployment just Windows 8.1 x64 Pro DVD media, WinPE for Windows 8.1 and the Windows 8.1 ADK. I am using the Windows 8.1 WADK/Windows Kits for Windows 8.1 for Image Manager for creating my answer file, using deployment/imaging tool for creating and editing my images, and using the same Windows 8.1 DVD media for my catalog as in my WIM.
I have done the best research I'm able to do at the moment and for this issue it all comes back to removing/editing the 'IEWelcomeMsg' line. I have left at false and removed the line as all have mentioned, however I'm still getting the error 'windows setup: windows could not parse or process unattend answer file (c:windows panther unattend.xml).
A component or setting specified in the answer file does not exist'. Is there something I missed? From what I can tell for now, nope. Side bar: when creating an image for Windows 7 and i had IE10 installed, I would get the error, same steps taken as mentioned above by posts in forums, nothing worked/buckus/nada, except uninstalling IE10.
Windows 8.1 comes with at least IE10, so to work around that???? Is there an update causing this? When I create an image, its fully updated for the time.
Once again many hours wasted and very frustrated, and I have a roll out coming up soon. Any help to enlighten what might have been over looked would be beneficial. OK here it is. This version has no IE configuration into for pass-4 specialize.
I merged and edited your posts because it is unnecessary to post to nearly identical XML files when you could just post what is different. In the future, use the CODE tags as Dosprobie asked, or attach the XML to the post rather than pasting it into a reply. The forum software makes it difficult to take what you posted and make an XML with it. Your TimeZone in OOBE is invalid.

You can try Central Standard Time. Why do you have Themes in both Specialize and oobeSystem passes? The one in specialize is missing its opening tag object. I didn't see an attach button in the editor tool bar (lacking of clicking on the more options button recently discovered), that attaching the file(s) actually would have been my preferred choice.
I digress, reason for having my theme in both, is having encountered in the past with other answer files that certain information like a theme for example is only in one pass say in OOBE, never applies, however if I were to duplicate the information in two different passes, the item applies. Scratching my head on that as well, so for now I at least try to stay with what works. Always trying to improve. I will edit the the TimeZone information as you suggested as well as check and adjust/remove the theme option in specialize and get back to you. Slow on uptake at times.
Ok I have removed the deprecated items that would be allowed, as in allow to revert changes, I didn't delete and options for the remaining 2 Shell-Setupneutral/OOBE/skipmachineOOBE Shell-Setupneutral/OOBE/SkipUserOOBE Now I have a new error version: 'windows could not parse or process answer file for specialize. The settings specified in the answer file cannot be applied. The error was detected while processing settings for component (ms-windows-shell-setup).' I also deleted the theme from specialize.
I just created a xml unattend file to deploy our windows 7 64 bits computers, the sysprep file validates fine without any errors nor warnings using Windows System Image Manager. However when i deploy my image, i get the following error: Windows could not parse or process the unattend answer file for pass specialize. A component or setting specified in the answer file does not exist. I attach the xml file to this post and i hope some of you could help with this as i am getting frustrated reimaging without luck. Here is the specialize section. En-us en-us en-us en-us en-us true net user administrator /active:yes 1.
049 Inputlocale can be one of two values: To use the default input locale for a language, you can specify the language identifier. For example, to use the default keyboard for English (United States) that corresponds with the QWERTY keyboard, you can specify the value en-US. Specify the locale ID and keyboard layout hexadecimal values. For example, for en-US, use 049. The first value (0409) is the locale ID that represents the input language and the second value (00000409) is the keyboard layout value. So en-US should be OK.
