InstallTo

Applies To: Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Vista

InstallTo specifies the disk and partition where you install the Windows operating system image.

You must specify valid values for the DiskID and PartitionID settings. If you are installing to a blank disk, you must create and format partitions with the CreatePartitions and ModifyPartitions settings.

Comparison of OSImage Settings: InstallTo and InstallToAvailablePartition

For unattended installations, you must specify either the InstallTo or the InstallTo setting.

Microsoft-Windows-Setup\ImageInstall\OSImage\InstallTo

Installs Windows to a specified disk and partition.

Microsoft-Windows-Setup\ImageInstall\OSImage\InstallToAvailablePartition

Installs Windows to the first available partition that has enough space and does not already contain an installation of Windows.

Note

In the OSImage setting, if you set the InstallToAvailablePartition setting to true, do not set the InstallTo setting.
If both InstallToAvailablePartition and InstallTo are set the installation will fail.
