Hi, on a 32-bit Vista machine with working autologin I exported this reg file: ---snip--- Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "AutoAdminLogon"="1" "DefaultUserName"="Administrator" "DefaultPassword"="mypwd" ---snip--- I imported the reg file on 64-bit Vista and autologin also worked there. So obviously the registry keys where autologin information is stored do not differ between 32-bit and 64-bit so autolog.pl *should* work on 64-bit, but it does not... Maybe some kind of "registry virtualization / redirection" issue like mentioned here... http://www.intelliadmin.com/blog/2008/08/windows-vista-64-bit-autologin.html ...? AFAIK, Unattended isn't able to do Vista OS + apps deployment in the moment, but maybe some other people here use appsonly.bat for application-only installs and also have encountered the autologin problem on 64-bit machines. I have also considered using Sysinternals autologin.exe (which is command line enabled) as an alternative to autolog.pl, but this tool also does not work on 64-bit.
