How do I perform an OEM Windows installation?

Solution 1:

That's Windows Audit Mode.

After install, on the Welcome screen, press SHIFT-CTRL-F3

This bypasses all kinds of stuff...

After you've installed your stuff, run

%systemroot%\System32\Sysprep\sysprep.exe

OOBE will already be selected. I select Shutdown and check Generalize.
