Can confirm this still works, installed Win11 Pro using the first EI.cfg and no PID file.

First and second ei.cfg files did not work with an image I downloaded on 2/17/2025. It is attempting to install W11 Home regardless. Note that this is without the PID file.

Can you refer to this updated answer and let us know if it works:
