Hello and welcome article15,

1) for driver integration : if you want to use the "System (tab) -> Integration -> Drivers" WinReducer option tool, the only support format in the "Drivers" folder is "*.inf" (and all dependent files). All "*.exe" or "*.msi" files are not able to be integrated in this way. If you want to integrate them using their executable files (exe or mis) you need to use "System (tab) -> WinReducer Post Installation -> OOBE" WinReducer option tool, then choose "Add File" button, and your file will be launched during the 2st logon installation (you could add a silent switch to your file to install it automatically). A website tutorial is planned in the next days ... Wink

2) So, 1st thing to do, is to tell us which ISO you're trying to use, which WinReducer 8.1 version, and if you try to use "Unattended (tab)" WinReducer option tool ?

Have a good day !

OK, did you define a password for your administrator account ? if you could try to use user account instead of administrator account ... please, let me know, because this could be a bug, thanks.

This is probably the cause.
