Answered MDT Litetouch + Windows ThinPC = Unattend Error

    I am trying to deploy a copy of Windows ThinPC through MDT using a Standard Client Task Sequence in MDT 2010 Update 1.  It is based off of  Windows Embedded Standard 7.  I created the same type of task sequence that I have done for Windows 7 x64 which works fine on that OS.

     

    Here is the error I am receiving from Install Windows during the Intall Oprtating System phase:

    Windows could not parse or process unattend answer file [C:\MININT\unattend.xml] for pass [windowsPE].  A component or setting specified in the answer file does not exist.

     

    I would like to know if anyone has gotten this to work.  I tried using the recommended settings in SIM from here (http://download.microsoft.com/download/E/F/2/EF2893CF-A973-45F5-8DE0-757EBACC5324/Windows%20Thin%20PC%20Basic%20Deployment%20Guide%20v1%200.pdf) in the windowsPE section but that did not help.  I imported the operating system into MDT successfully and the metadata has been filled out in the properties.
