With VirtualBox 4.3.8-92456 (older versions too) you need to create an .ISO using WinToolkit and boot VirtualBox from it, looks like it's not reading the .xml. Here's a working Autounattend.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> <servicing></servicing> <settings pass="windowsPE"> <component

Nice app, fits my needs nicely. One comment, on the download page http://www.wincert.net/forum/topic/9409-tool-dxtool/ "DXTool x86 v1.1.5.5" when you click "Download" s3.amazonaws.com wants to download it without a file extension (.exe).

Thiersee I found something that you can use, It's not my work but I've used it in the past, I just had to remember which computer I kept it on... MSP patch files An MSP-file contains a patch to be applied to a MSI-file (or an AIP). A patch is usually an update to a new version of a software product. A typical example for MSP-files are updates for Adobe Reader. Creating a patch file is an alternative to creating a new MSI-file. A patch from an MSP-file can be applied to an already installed software product by double-clicking the MSP-file, or by issuing the command msiexec /p patch.msp REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=omus (the options are important, otherwise it only updates the locally cached copy of the MSI-file). It is possible let windows installer install an MSI-file plus one or more MSP-files in one step with a command like this: msiexec /I package.msi PATCH="c:\directory\patch.msp" It is not possible to do specify an MSP-file when deploying software with GPO, like it can be done with MST files. It is possible to slipstream one or more patches from MSP-files into an MSI file and to deploy that with GPO. Slipstreaming requires these steps: extract the MSI file into an empty directory with the command: msiexec /qb /a "%msi%" TARGETDIR="%aip%" apply the patch from the MSP-file with the command: msiexec /qb /a "%msi%" /p "%msp%" Notes: The result is not a self-contained MSI-file, but an AIP (Administrative Installation Point). If you don't want to enter commands manually, see my BAT-script below replace %aip% with the full path to an empty directory (will become the AIP). replace %msi% and %msp% with the path to those files (don't know if this must also be the full path). do the second step inside the AIP-directory. do all as admin or it may fail (for example when trying to do this for Adobe Reader). to apply a MSP-file to an AIP instead to a MSI, run only the second command inside the AIP-directory. If you don't want to do this manually, use my batch ApplyMSP.bat. Simply create a new directory, copy the MSI-file, the MSP-file and this BAT-file there. Then double-click on the BAT. It will display the name of the MSI-file and of the MSP-file that it has found. Then it asks if the MSI is an MSI or an AIP. I used this to slipstream Adobe Reader versions 10.0.1 and 10.0.2. ----- START SCRIPT ------ @echo off rem --------------------------------------------------------------------------- rem rem Description: rem Creates slipstreamed updated AIP rem by applying a patch from a MSP-file either to a rem MSI-file or to an administrative installation point (AIP). rem rem Use: rem 1. create new directory rem 2. copy AIP or MSI-file there rem 3. copy MSP-file there as well rem 4. copy this batch there as well and execute it rem rem Notes: rem - must be run with admin rights (if patching Adobe Reader 10) rem - should be run on PC where Adobe Reader was never installed rem - if patching MSI-file will create directory AIP and put all output there rem - installation does not need just the new MSI-file.

That's true if you use Wintoolkit, how about just using an $oem$ folder? No need to make this complicated, create folder called $oem$ within that folder create another called $1 and put what ever files or folders you need on your %SystemDrive% in it, put the $oem$ folder in your Win 7 sources folder, that's it.
