On xp pro x86 or x64 (both SP2) it crashes all the time with Vista SP1, that's why I use it only for references voor tools like vista-tools. When you use the basic Vista it don't crash! It create the catalogue but I kan't make changes, so I use my own Autounattend M$ is turning us crazy with deploysoftware that don't work remarked as open-source? As of BDD and WAIK. I use vista-tools to prepare, vLite for SP1, hotfixes and drivers and than again Vista-tools for image creation. Well, it installs all but at last step (system configuration issue) it keeps in a loop... :-) forever! regards ::: Spoof! bent je online? pm me dan aub ::: we fixed that already, see ryanvm
