ADK client can't access myDataImage located in WindowsSIM answer file

Hi friends

in my windows 8.1 enterprise, i have installed ADK & also i have shared this folder: E:\shareApps which contains two simple .msi files to be installed. so via imagex.exe tools i have created a .wim image from this folder & named it asMyDataImage.wim.

then i put my MyDataImage.wim. in this E:\shareApps folder.

in both share permission & NTFS permission i have add everyone full control

Via windows SIM (part of ADK), i have created Autounattend answer file & i have written it to the root of windows installation DVD.

in my answer file,:

i have specified that the unicast ipv4 address of 192.168.1.2 be assigned to my client (VM) during WindowsPE configuration pass.  

I've specified MyDataImage.wim path in this way:  \\192.168.1.1\shareApps\MyDataImage.wim

in its hyper-v, i have created a virtual machine which i intend windows 8.1 be installed on it.

I've connected this VM's NIC to hyper-v internal switch.

when i power on VM, after some seconds system shows error describing unable to access the image (which here actually means that data image).

when i remove Dataimage item from answer file, it works & problem disappears and windows is installed in unattended mode.

i re-tested the process & when  system shows error describing unable to access the image, by pressing shift+F10, i executed all of these commands:

netsh interface show interface

ipconfig /all

netcfg -v -s n

but no result appears & the result is blank. so i guess in that phase ( the initial steps of win PE configuration pass), the VM's NIC is not recognized so the ip address which I've specified in answer file is not set on that VM & finally VM can't access the \\192.168.1.1\shareApps\MyDataImage.wim

or maybe other problem exist which i don't know.!

any help please

thanks in advanced
