Problem with Windows 10 unattended answer file?

Recommended Posts

The problem with my answer is that following error message appears "Windows cannot read the <ProductKey> setting from the unattend answer file".  Can someone help me with this problem? Can I somehow skip this product key part in the answer file?

Here is my answer file
