SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario:  You create an output file that you can use in an unattended installation of Microsoft Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs. To do this, you run the Setup program by using the following command-line option:

setup.exe /guionly:A:\OutputFileName.txt

 During the graphical user interface (GUI) part of the Setup program, you do not click to select the Generate All Values check box. After you create the output file, you use it to perform an unattended installation of Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs.

In this scenario, the installation of Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs is not completed successfully.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the product ID (PID) key is not specified in the output file. The PID key is only added to the output file if you click to select the Generate All Values check box. Therefore, if you do not click to select the Generate All Values check box, the PID key is not included in the output file.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, manually add the PID key to the output file.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
