Hello,
I'm unable to deploy Windows 11 using WADS. I'm getting an error message stating that the Windows installer cannot format the partition (0x80300024).
WinPE creates the partitions perfectly beforehand, so I don't understand...
I have no issues with the same answer file under Windows 10.
Do you have any ideas?
Thank you.

Good morning
I just noticed that the latest release does not include the win11_with_join_ad_offline.xml and win11_with_join_ad_online.xml files
The files are indeed on our internal Git repository and in the latest nightly version, but not in the release version
Actually, Windows 11 has a bug with its installer
In the XML files of Windows 7 to Windows 10, one could use which tells the installer that it must find the partition it needs to use on its own, resulting in:
But under Windows 11 it crashes with the error you describe, so you need to specify the partition where Windows 11 should be installed: 3 for UEFI and 2 for legacy
So you can edit your XML and it will be fine
