Your screenshot shows a 4.1 GB ISO, not 16 GB as in the previous logs.

Is this an ISO that was modified to be 16 GB?

It's possible that it won't work either, because file uploads go through the /tmp directory of the machine, and if /tmp doesn't have enough space...

Hi Simon,

Yes, yesterday I encountered a disk space error. After fixing it, I re-imported the ISO, which is 12.8GB (yes, a modified ISO).

The download stopped at 100% with the following error: [Error

message here]. So I deleted the ISO and added it again. I just restarted the Nginx service. Is this the correct method to get a consistent hash?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

The hash is still incorrect.

At worst, you can transfer the file using WinSCP and then rename it.

We're running tests here by uploading very large ISO files to see...

The installation is in progress, I am having problems with my answer file because you formatted the disk before downloading the Iso.

Do you happen to know which partition the Windows image is installed on? I tried forwarding one of your answer files and adding the command:

Code: Select all

<ImageInstall>
                <OSImage>
                    <InstallToAvailablePartition>true</InstallToAvailablePartition>
                    <InstallFrom>
                            <Path>install.wim</Path>
                </OSImage>
</ImageInstall>

I found an error on the line<Path>

My original answer file contained the following code (and worked):

Code: Select all

<ImageInstall>
                <OSImage>
                    <InstallTo>
                        <DiskID>0</DiskID>
                        <PartitionID>4</PartitionID>
                    </InstallTo>
                </OSImage>
</ImageInstall>

Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Note that you must not format the disk in the XML file

In the Windows 10 template, it's done like this:

Code: Select all

			<ImageInstall>
				<OSImage>
					<InstallToAvailablePartition>true</InstallToAvailablePartition>
					<InstallFrom>
						<Path>install.wim</Path>
                        <MetaData>
                            <Key>/IMAGE/FLAGS</Key>
                            <Value>Professional</Value>
                        </MetaData>
					</InstallFrom>
				</OSImage>
			</ImageInstall>

InstallToAvailablePartition true tells the Windows installer to handle it; it works well under Windows 10

In the Windows 11 UEFI template, this is how it's done because `InstallToAvailablePartition true` doesn't work properly (Windows 11 bug)

Code: Select all

			<ImageInstall>
				<OSImage>
					<InstallTo>
						<PartitionID>3</PartitionID>
						<DiskID>0</DiskID>
					</InstallTo>
					<InstallToAvailablePartition>false</InstallToAvailablePartition>
					<WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI>
					<InstallFrom>
						<Path>install.wim</Path>
						<MetaData>
							<Key>/IMAGE/FLAGS</Key>
							<Value>Professional</Value>
						</MetaData>
					</InstallFrom>
				</OSImage>
			</ImageInstall>

In a Windows 11 legacy (non-UEFI) system, it should be:

Code: Select all

<PartitionID>2</PartitionID>

I believe

Thank you for your feedback.

Yes, indeed, after analyzing your topics and the Windows 10 answer file, I noticed your configuration.

I'm currently fine-tuning the file, but the ISO is already downloading correctly, which is a victory in itself.

What's strange is that I'm getting an error message on the line ,

start a new thread to avoid mixing topics.

Thanks for your help. The team is awesome!!

No closing InstallFrom tag in my opinion

Hehe, that was exactly it!

I'm waiting to see how the new installation goes...

Thanks again
