Hello all,
I am in the process of creating an automated installer flash drive for Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 x64. To achieve this, I created an Autounattend.xml file for the setup component, which works as expected.
Now the issue that I face, is that I am able to create the unattend.xml file which is (from all the research and info I have done and have) supposed to be in the C:\Windows\Panther directory for the Windows OOBE component. For some reason, the OOBE is not reading this file and waits on the country selection screen for user input. I've tried to use both the base WIM from the ISO as well as a custom-built WIM, to no avail.
Below is the Unattend.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

For the life of me, I cannot see what I am missing, if anything. Does the file look good and is it supposed to be placed in C:\Windows\Panther?
