  1. assuming you both was using VMWare, just a process of elimation thing really. How much free space do you have on your VMWare drives? Also is there anything in Event Viewer?. I'll have a look into it but if anyone has any information please let me know, thanks.

    P.S. You don't need to setup bitlocker, just need to keep it in vlite.

  2. Completed :)

    BitLocker was causing the 0x800f0826 error

    I have a new one, I followed the instructions on this thread. Did not remove anything that was mentioned with vlite. Still I got a 0x80070002 error???

    Anyone know what this one is??

    Vista Ultimate x64 with Sp1Beta1 Build.6001.16659

    moved here :) can you please attach your preset (last_session.ini) thanks, but also try here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910336

  3. ok, btw nice spec :D, try not to integrate any drivers and after setup just start installing sp1 or whatver but keep the drivers uninstalled, if it loads then you can try installing the drivers to see if it does it... if that makes sense

  4. Installing SP1 over a clean, full Vista x64 :

    At the final reboot i have a bsod and "Crah Dump" initialized.

    If i try to reboot again i have always this error message.

    Here there is no usefull info on the BSOD (only hexa-decimal numbers).

    I cant reproduce this BSOD for the moment because i'm tired to reinstall, reinstall again and again !! lol

    hex numbers would of been fine, but no need to reinstall next time you do decide to reinstall just let me know, about the BSOD i dont know the error but someone else might, it might possibly be hardware related. but this topic is mainly for members who are using vlite and want to be able to install future service packs rather than having to reinstall.

    Other strange thing :

    Ok, added the info on the first post with " - MFCK" so users know you posted it and how to fix it, thanks :thumbup

  5. Note that Dreamscene will not install or run on Vista with SP1 beta installed, but is planned for SP1 final.

    Thanks for the info, i can confirm that (not that it needed confirming) and have quoted it in the first post :) It does not work even when integrated :(

  6. nah i wasnt offended at all n yep 3 seconds, slower on my other pc, but every file! no point lol :), so how would u think vlite can go faster, i think its fine how it is now except the rebuild speed but its still ok and not really a big deal.

  7. size calulation when on properties takes about 3 secs, you dont need to count everyfile, just the size of the mount folder(VsTemp19). once you got the size of the folder the program would do the rest in less than a second. I can live without this feature anyway just thought i'd post my findings :)

    EDIT If you decide not to add this idea thingy then just delete this topic :P

  8. While it seems like a good idea and the same was debated for component removal page, what is the advantage of those presets?

    Faster?

    It is intended only for those which don't care what the program does, can you imagine yourself going "oo Performance, click, install...my god why is it classic look, I integrated themes!"

    Or if you double check every option it does then it's slower than the usual selection.

    I cannot imagine someone choosing one preset on the blind faith and just be done with it.

    That means he is not careful which settings are applied and he will be annoyed after install.

    We get reports "where are my EXE icons, it's just blank white one?!" That's because he didn't read the description for the "Disable custom exe icons", imagine how many annoyances would be if doesn't read the description of every single tweak in these presets.

    You have a good point

    saving your own settings in a last session.ini is suited better for this imo..

    Ye true but how about making your own, so instead of Performance, Security, Gaming & Network, you can make your own customizable ones i.e. My Comp, Dad's Comp, Mum's Comp & whatever, or still have performance etc.. where you can just customize them and use them for later. but personally im happy with bledd's post.

  9. Ok firstly all the sizes are in bytes and are taken from "size on disk" reading (when you click properties on an file/folder you get size and size on disk).

    I think i have figured out a way to estimate the size of the install.wim for the rebuild process because at the moment you get just whatever its done so far i.e. 345MB. But with this idea if it works it will shows an estimate i.e. "Rebuilding.... 345.17 / 1300.85MB" :D

    Ok ive gotten the size of the VsTemp19 folder in vLite temp folder in bytes and install.wim size in bytes too after rebuild(remember using "Size on Disk")

    1st Test

    VsTemp19: 6,545,445,238

    Install.wim: 1,558,495,232

    VsTemp19 / Install.wim = 4.19 (i have rounded the decimals)

    2nd Test

    VsTemp19: 6,162,133,366

    Install.wim: 1,463,308,288

    VsTemp19 / Install.wim = 4.2

    3rd Test

    VsTemp19: 5,555,974,518

    Install.wim: 1,306,759,168

    VsTemp19 / Install.wim = 4.3

    Result

    The Install.wim is around 4.2-4.3x smaller than the VsTemp19 Folder

    So lets say i use 4.25 (average), excel said it was 4.22 but oh well

    If i made a random vlite and its VsTemp19 folder was 5,555,974,518bytes and then divide that by 4.25 i get 1,307,288,121.88bytes

    for the people who cant be assed to do maths i'll divide that by 1048576 (so its in MB) = 1246.73MB

    So the install.wim during the rebuild process is going to be around 1246.73MB, so on the rebuilding process it would say "Rebuilding 345.17 / 1246.73MB" (remember that its just an estimate but it will give the user an idea of how long they have to wait).

    Simple Explanation

    VsTemp19 / 4.25 = A

    A / 1048576 = Estimated Size of install.wim

    (VsTemp19 / 4.25) / 1048576 = install.wim

    For Nuhi: Have to get it before vlite clears the vstemp19 folder when on the rebuild process

    Conlusion(Usining 4.25 with tests 1,2 & 3)

    Test1

    VsTemp19: 6,545,445,238

    Estimated Install.wim = 1468.76MB

    Actual install.wim = 1486.30MB

    Test2

    VsTemp19: 6,162,133,366

    Estimated Install.wim = 1382.75MB

    Actual install.wim = 1395.52MB

    Test3

    VsTemp19: 5,555,974,518

    Estimated Install.wim = 1246.73MB

    Actual install.wim = 1246.22MB

    As you can seeit actually works, it has pretty close like if using 4.25 test 1 is 22.46MB off and in test 3 is only 0.51MB off!!

    P.S. Excel did all the calculations for me so im not a maths genius lmao
