Windows 8 Confirm Popup on Install [SOLVED]

[Skarlso]

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.

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>

+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
