If you're starting the Setup from WinPE, that option isn't available:

See Applicability

 

If you're deploying an Image (vs running setup), you can slip in a SetupComplete.cmd File into the c:\Windows\Setup\Scripts folder, and the Setup Engine will run that for you.  However, is you're kicking off the setup engine manually from WinPE.. you'd have to come up with something creative to trigger that file.

    Thanks for the information.

    Meanwhile i fixed this with some creative scripting with powershell to make my final "installation ready, reboot" webrequest to our deployment server.

     

    Good to know that this is the preferred way inside winpe.
