Other day when trying out my unattended install in vBox I had a prompt asking me if I wanted to turn sticky keys on or off. I thought nothing (much) of it as maybe I had tapped /something rested on the shift key.

 

However, its just happened again. This time I went through the motions of disabling this but it's slightly perplexing as to why this has only recently started happening.

 

Maybe I've gone a step too far with what I'm removing/tweaking with WinToolKit or maybe something in my autounattend file that's not jumping out at me.

 

Can someone cast a fresh eye over these in case I'm missing the obvious?

First, the ini file from WinToolKit. Only thing missing from this list here is the updates to keep it shorter!

And the autounattend.xml is:

I've also a fair few reg tweeks, only one of which would touch on "accessibility" and all that does is hides it from site in the Control Panel.

 

Oh, and dotNET 4.5 Slim gets installed.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Aah Haa! Issue is resolved!

It appears to happen when dotNET 4.5 slim is being installed into the virtual machine. By the use of logging when it starts and ends I've discovered it takes anything from 10 to 15 minutes to fully install with mscorsvw.exe doing its thing. Its during this time I usually nip to the loo, do a brew, grab a sarnie, have a tab or two etc.. Today I thought I'd go and stand in the garden and catch some rays.

 

It was then I spotted my 27 yr old step-daughter rapidly tapping the shift key!!! Oh how she laughed!!

 

She's off out tonight. Wonder if she'll laugh tomorrow when she discovers I've changed her log in password that she thinks I don't know!!

 

Now one thing I would like to know. If I set network in the autounattend file to Public as opposed to Home the install fails on any version of Win 7 I try out in VBox. Is there any way I can do this? If I try to skip choosing a network I get the window prompting me to set one when I finally get to the desktop. Any ideas?

Laughed alot about the step-daughter issues :D btw, what's the finale? :D

 

Also, please post here your autounnatended.xml. I have that one with the network skipped just fine, don't know why that's happening to you.

 

 

LE: Nevermind, I saw it in your second post. Here's how mine looks like:

So, <NetworkLocation>Home</NetworkLocation> should do the trick and make the install process fully quiet.

 

 

Also, if you don't want the network location wizard to ever pop up, use this tweak:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Network\NetworkLocationWizard]"HideWizard"=dword:00000001[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\Network\NetworkLocationWizard]"HideWizard"=dword:00000001

After a couple of cups of coffee and whilst (she) was on a trip to the shop to get me some baccy, the step-daughters PC miraculously unlocked itself!

 

The SD learnt a lesson there. Don't use the same password to lock your PC that you was using when you were 14! She now has that sort of 'look of terror' as to what I may, or may not (not!) seen on her PC. I, of course, are remaining silent, but giving plenty of knowing smiles and winks out! Well, you have to take the mickey, don't you!

 

It was actually a Public Network I was trying to set in the autounattend file as opposed to a Home one. Although those registry key entries will come in very handy and a big Thanks for those!
