Ookii.AnswerFile library NuGet

The core functionality of the Answer File Generator is implemented in the Ookii.AnswerFile library, which you can integrate into your own applications. The library requires .Net 7.0 or later, and is available on NuGet.

To generate an answer file, you invoke the Generator.Generate method, passing in an instance of the GeneratorOptions class, which describes the various settings you want to use in the answer file.

To specify the install method, you set the GeneratorOptions.InstallOptions property to an instance of the CleanEfiOptions, CleanBiosOptions, ExistingPartitionOptions, or ManualInstallOptions class. Additional options that are specific to an install method, such as partition layout or optional features, are set in those classes.

Leave the GeneratorOptions.InstallOptions property set to null to generate an answer file for a pre-installed image, such as one created by sysprep or DISM tools.

The below example sets various options to perform a clean installation on a UEFI-based system, enabling some optional features and remote desktop. It creates a user account, and sets it to be logged on automatically at first boot.

var options = new GeneratorOptions()
{
    InstallOptions = new CleanEfiOptions()
    {
        OptionalFeatures = new OptionalFeatures(new Version(10, 0, 22621, 1))
        {
            Features = { "Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux", "VirtualMachinePlatform" }
        }
    },
    EnableRemoteDesktop = true,
    LocalAccounts = { new LocalCredential("MyUser", "Password") },
    AutoLogon = new AutoLogonOptions(new DomainUser(null, "MyUser"), "Password"),
    ProductKey = "ABCDE-12345-ABCDE-12345-ABCDE",
    DisplayResolution = new Size(1920, 1080)
};

Generator.Generate("unattend.xml", options);
