Hello DeployCentral Forum!
This question goes out for anyone experiencing odd behavior from an Offline Deployment Media (USB).
OS: XP SP3
During the media wizard, I select the Image File, Platform Pack and my Unattended Answer File. Once I click next, it asks if I want the wizard to update the answer file with the image file details...I click YES.
Once I boot off of the USB, here comes my First issue, I receive the Welcome screen. In my answer file LINE#3 <welcome skip="1">
I have this set to "SKIP". I then click "Deploy Image" in the Welcome Screen and then comes my Second Issue, I am asked to select an Image File. I do so (Z:\WinXP.wim) and the image loads fine...
PlatformPack seems to have loaded fine...no driver issues in the Device Manager.
