Fixed it.
Needed to amend the answer file because my operating system was named differently.
This is I had to edit, in case somebody is bumping into this as well:
<InstallFrom>
<MetaData wcm:action="add">
<Key>/IMAGE/NAME</Key>
<Value>Windows 8.1 Pro N</Value> <----- THIS HERE
</MetaData>
</InstallFrom>
Thanks @Skarlso, your follow up helped me out.
You are most welcome. Glad I could help out. :)
+1 - similar problem
I wonder how can I do this automatically - mount the ISO, figure out the OS name, patch the Autounattend.xml
This https://github.com/larytet/auto-win/blob/master/autounattend/Autounattend-win10-64-bios.xml works fine for both Win 8.1 and Win 10 and does not contain IMAGE/NAME key at all. Can something like this be reproduced?
This patch works, for example
diff --git a/answer_files/81/Autounattend.xml b/answer_files/81/Autounattend.xml
index 19ebbde..fab34df 100644
--- a/answer_files/81/Autounattend.xml

Hey Guys.
Upon windows 8 install, I noticed that before the setup, there is a frigging pop which waits for you to click on Next to continue. Everything after that works excellent.
Does anyone have any idea how to avoid that frigging pop-up? This is before anything start. Just a windows which says => you are about to install... bla. Like I have to be told that?? Damn it. :)
Anyhow. Any ideas?
Thank you!! Gergely.
EDIT:
Got the bastard. It's a "Select The operating system you would like to install" dialogue which is not escaped / disabled in the answer file.
