Windows 10: Sysprep doesn't find Unattend.xml

Hello ! I have an issue I can't seem to figure out. When I created my unattend.xml, I saved it in the Sysprep folder. But when I want to generalize it, Sysprep tells me it doesn't exist. But when I go back to adk to save it again to make sure it's all good.... adk tells me the file already exists. I'm completely lost. How can I proceed? Any help would be grately appreciated !

Unattended setup (Sysprep & unattend.xml) is not working for me

Haha! Kari, I'd like to buy you a another nice bottle of whiskey for helping me out here. This is driving me nuts! I have a friend in England. I'm sure she's fast asleep.

Anyway, I swear that answer file came directly from the WSIM tool!

I made new install image with the brand new answer file (pasted above) created exactly as instructed by your tutorial (no validation errors!) and this is what I got...




















It boots all the way to the desktop this time! Still not unattended though. Nothing can ever be easy...

Much easier, use the Ten Forums tutorial instead. It combines all steps in one tutorial: Create media for automated unattended install of Windows 10

This is what I see when I open your answer file in WSIM:

Yellow highlight in Answer file pane (top middle) shows a bunch of unnecessary, empty not used settings. In addition to errors shown as white X on red circle in Messages pane at bottom, those unnecessary settings are marked with exclamation point on yellow triangle.

First severe error comes already in disk setup. If, as in your answer file, partition setting Extend = FALSE is used, then the size must be given, but size is missing in your file:





I am working on it, this will really take some time. I'll post back as soon possible.
