Windows 7 application installation automation

Question
-
I have installed MDT2010 latest version, added windows 7 RC1 and added 2 applications.
I also did this before wih MDT2008... there, somewhere I told it not to ask but just install all the applications.
I want it to be as much LTI as possible....
but with MDT2010 I cannot find a place where to do this. so I get prompted to ask which applications I want to install when I am in the imaging process...
am I just not looking in the right places, or am I correct that I cannot find this anywhere in the deployment workbench ??Monday, August 3, 2009 4:10 PM

You can still automate a LTI installation with MDT2010 by editing customsettings.ini in the Control folder like described in this article of a fully automated LTI deployment. The only real change I found is that SkipBDDWelcome=Yes must be defined in bootstrap.ini.
In MDT 2008 these settings were also documented in the documents of the ToolKit, but I did not find them yet.

To skip the screen prompting for applications add SkipApplications=Yes to your customsettings.ini. Below is an example of items that can be skipped for MDT2010 Beta. If you skip this screen make sure that your Task sequence has a step to install the applications
[Settings]
Priority=Default
[Default]
SkipWizard=NO
SkipCapture=NO
SkipAdminPassword=NO
SkipApplications=YES
SkipAppsOnUpgrade=NO
SkipComputerBackup=NO
SkipDomainMembership=NO
SkipDeploymentType=NO
SkipUserData=NO
SkipPackageDisplay=NO
SkipLocaleSelection=NO
SkipProductKey=YES
