I made an image in audit mode, sysprepped it, got the .WIM image, and inserted it into a bootable windows 7 DVD (install.wim).

When run, setup completes but I get a "Windows cannot complete installation, to continue installing Windows restart the computer" error when it's checking video performance.

Clicking OK causes it to restart, and then it boots into Windows fine.

Here's my XML:

Have you checked the log files to see if there are any errors that may help to diagnose this? The TechNet article ‘Understanding Failures and Log Files’ will help find the files.

I put your unattend into the Windows System Image Manager (WSIM) and it shows that the settings SkipMachineOOBE and SkipUserOOBE are deprecated settings, however those should not cause this error.

Hope this helps,
