Attempting to build an answer file for vista... rob davis 12/13/2008 5:10:01 AM I am using the "Deploying Vista Step by Step Guide" that i downloaded from Microsoft. I'm at the point of validating the image after following the directions, and am getting the following error in the Messages pane: "Setting SkipMachineOOBE is deprecated in the Windows image" I have this setting set to "false" as it say to set it as in the guide... so, no matter what i change the setting to... the validation process still prompts me to fix this setting... can you help me out? thanks. rob davis
