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.

Regards
Gerhard
