Windows Answer File Generator (WAFG) is a simple website that provides similar functions to Windows System Image Manger (SIM).
Windows System Image Manager is the tool used to create an unattended Windows Setup answer file. Windows AFG, however, does not need the Windows Automated Installation Kit or Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit to be installed or downloaded. Windows AFG provides a simple web based form that gives the user options to configure the desired answer file; which is all based off Windows SIM.
This website will allow you to configure numerous settings that are necessary for the Windows Setup process. Some of the configuration settings include:
Windows AFG has one simple form to create an unattended answer file for the x86 and x64 bit architectures.
