Applying unattended answer files

With the application task you can easily apply your unattended answer files to your Windows images.

This task is available in DISMTools 0.5.1 and later

Then, after installing the operating system and performing serviceability tests, the Operating System installer will apply your unattended answer file. Make sure that you leave the medium containing the answer file, or it may not be fully applied.
