[REQUEST] How to have only 2 requests during the installation phase #62

Open Victory61 opened 1 week ago

Victory61 commented 1 week ago

Good morning I generated the response file and it is all OK, without any request during the installation. I wanted to ask how to modify the obtained xml file in such a way that during the installation I get only 2 requests: Username and Password. Thank you very much

Even inserting the file created by the generator I get the same error, I tried not inserting any autounattend file and the installation was successful, obviously with all the requirements.
