vutech,

You should remove your password from your xml....

vutech,

I don't see the autologon section of you answer file.

When you created the scripted install did you check the automatically logon to the administrator account?

You should automatically logon, and disable after 2 or 3 boots.

I changed my scripted install to automatically logon. I watched it install and once it was out of windows installation it tried to install SP1 but a window popped up called SPInstall Usage with a list of available switches. It will not go further until you click ok. Then it boots to windows with no other post task executing.

I think that means you have a bad switch for the sp1.

What are you currently using?

windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe /quiet /passive /norestart /o /n

Try just a
/quiet /norestart

You can also do a post install, select windows vista sp2 as the post install, but select the option to upload manually, and upload the windows 7 sp1 file. It works, I tested it :)
