Windows System Image Manager - Pass 1 loop

Question

Hi

i'm using wsim for creating a default image.

When i add the "installFrom" component, the installer loops pass 1 WindowsPE

I have added the MetaData tag with key: /MEDIA/INDEX and value: 3, and the indes is validated using DISM

Do anybody ave some hints on what causes this reboot loop(It is not the bios/ufi boot setting)

Answer 1

I have tried to follow the guidance on Learn, but it seems to happen if i make complete unattended install in pass 1

Could it be a safety feature to secure against loop installations that can never finish ?
