[SOLVED] Wads - Failed installation of Windows 11

Vercingetorix · November 5, 2024 - 9:10 AM

Good morning,
wapt 2.5.5.15697 with Wads we are trying to install windows 11 with an iso in 24h2.
We are encountering an incomplete installation which ends with "Windows 11 installation failed".
You will find attached the error log file ("setuperr.log" "setupact.log") in case you need it.
We are primarily looking into this on the Microsoft side, but in case you have encountered this type of problem, I am opening a post on the subject.
Here are the types of errors found in the logs:

Code: Select all

If you have any ideas, we're all ears.
Thank you in advance.
Good day.

Good morning

Indeed, Windows 11 24h2 requires modifications.

The XML file should no longer begin with comments but directly with:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Then this must be deleted:

Code: Select all

<FullName>superadmin</FullName>

And this too must be removed:

Code: Select all

<Path>install.wim</Path>

The new template is therefore:

Code: Select all

Good morning,
Indeed, the new configuration file provided resolves the issue.
After adapting it a bit, because the language is US and not French for example.

Code: Select all

	
	<SetupUILanguage>
	<UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage>
	</SetupUILanguage>
	<InputLocale>0409:00000409</InputLocale>
	<SystemLocale>en-US</SystemLocale>
	<UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage>
	<UserLocale>en-US</UserLocale>

The problem is therefore solved.
Thank you very much for your help.
Good day.
