Install a specific Windows edition

To install an edition other than Standard using the Standard distribution file set

1. Save a copy of the HP-provided Windows OS Build Plan, changing its name to better reflect the Windows edition being installed.

2. Edit the Build Plan copy.

3. Select for the Create Windows xxxx Standard Default Unattend.xml step that will be replaced.

4. Select one of the other HP-provided configuration files named Create Windows xxxx yyyy Default Unattend.xml where xxxx is the Windows version and yyyy is the edition to be installed. Any parameters associated with the original configuration file are preserved.

5. Update the custom attribute listed in the parameters for the Validate Custom Attributes step at the beginning of the Build Plan. By default, that step checks to make sure the standard edition product key is defined. Update the parameter to check for the custom attribute that corresponds to the edition you chose to install.

To install an edition other than Standard using a different distribution file set

1. Follow the instructions in Create a Windows scripted installation OS Build Plan for a localized distribution to add the new distribution and have the OS Build Plan reference it.

2. Modify the Create Windows xxxx Standard Default Unattend.xml configuration file as follows:

   • Comment out the <ProductKey> line that references the Standard edition and uncomment the line for the new edition.

   • Comment out the <Value> line in the <ImageInstall> section that references the Standard edition and uncomment the line for the new edition.
