I've come across many posts where people have issues using the latest version of 24H2 downloaded from Microsoft, blaming the Answer file from here or something else. This does not seem to be a Ventoy or Rufus issue, but indeed a Microsoft one.

Using uupdump.net, I created an ISO of the last build previous to the issue - Windows 11, version 24H2 (26100.1882).

I only chose to download and convert to ISO, no extra packages, no nothing. I also did this on an Apple silicon M1, so it should work fine on Intel-based Macs as well as PCs, ha, probably Linux as well.

After the ISO was created, I copied it to the root of my Ventoy USB, along with the downloaded .xml from this repo. I renamed the .xml to "notautoattend.xml."

I booted from Ventoy, chose the ISO I made from uupdump.net, and in the new Windows 11 Setup, just went through the first two menus; once I saw "Use previous version of Setup," I clicked that.

And then I hit Shift-F10 to bring up a command prompt, and typed this: setup.exe /Unattend:D:\notautounattend.xml (Verify the drive letter by using diskpart > list volume to see Ventoy; if you secure wiped your C drive, Ventoy becomes the C drive, not D.)

Afterwards, everything worked smoothly, including the UWScript.

I hope this helps those who are getting frustrated over the answer file not working with the latest version of Windows 11 until Microsoft gets their act together and resolves the issue.
