Installing Windows Automated Installation Kit in Windows 8 Server Developer Preview

As mentioned in my previous post, .NET 3.5.1 is required before installing Windows AIK in Windows 8 Server.

In the VM insert the WAIK ISO file and launch the installer.

Read the License Terms and select I Agree and click Next to continue.

Select an Installation Folder and choose whether to install WAIK for yourself or for everyone who’s using the computer then click Next.

It won’t take long for WAIK to be installed in Windows 8 Server.

Click Close once installation is complete.
