also, I use vLite to intergrate then Save Changes, Rebuild All does not work... how do you guys get it so small?!

4.05?! isnt the limit 4GB???!

I need to split my vista image thats over 4GB into any number of parts but it must be able to install, kinda like so: user boots 1st DVD/CD set up install, it starts installing they insert next disk install continues etc etc any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

any help?! kinda urgent

so I intergrated SP1 but my install.wim is 4.02GB. doesn't that mean Vista won't boot the instanow? is there a work around?!?!? please help!! thnx

would that let my iso surpass 4GB? keep in mind, it's my iso I want big, my install.wim is only 3.4GB. If I can expand my iso, i'll enlarge that with more... pizazz

hey again, question: can you name an $OEM$ folder %temp% so the files are sent to C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Temp? thnx

why would udf help? if you split it, do you need multiple discs?

is there a tag for the autounattended.xml to have it skip key input?

lol thnx. I copy and pasted from another one so that may be the prob!! thnx guys!! new (IE reads it!) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> <settings pass="windowsPE"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="NonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <UseConfigurationSet>false</UseConfigurationSet> </component> </settings> <settings pass="oobeSystem"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="NonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <OOBE> <SkipUserOOBE>false</SkipUserOOBE> </OOBE> <FirstLogonCommands> <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <CommandLine>%systemdrive%\activ\default.cmd</CommandLine> <Order>1</Order> </SynchronousCommand> </FirstLogonCommands> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <OOBE> <SkipUserOOBE>false</SkipUserOOBE> </OOBE> <FirstLogonCommands> <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <CommandLine>%systemdrive%\activ\default.cmd</CommandLine> <Order>1</Order> </SynchronousCommand> </FirstLogonCommands> </component> </settings> </unattend>

nope, doesnt even point there and I checked em, all correct

I get the following error: Windows could not parse or process the unattend answer file [D:\autounattend.xml]. The answer file is invalid. The error was detected on line 31 column 1 of the answer file. my answer file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> <settings pass="windowsPE"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="NonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <UseConfigurationSet>false</UseConfigurationSet> </component> <settings pass="oobeSystem"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="NonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <OOBE> <SkipUserOOBE>false</SkipUserOOBE> </OOBE> <FirstLogonCommands> <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <CommandLine>%systemdrive%\activ\default.cmd</CommandLine> <Order>1</Order> </SynchronousCommand> </FirstLogonCommands> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <OOBE> <SkipUserOOBE>false</SkipUserOOBE> </OOBE> <FirstLogonCommands> <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <CommandLine>%systemdrive%\activ\default.cmd</CommandLine> <Order>1</Order> </SynchronousCommand> </FirstLogonCommands> </component> </settings> </unattend> line 31 column 1 is before (ot the actual) less then symbol on my ending unattend tag (</unattend>) any help?

I have my original .xrm-ms file from my OEM DVD. how does that activation work? tell it to activate without inputting serial coed at install or input serial at logon and activate (would it check online or check against the algorythm in the file?)

well, if I delete the userconfigurationset tag, will my $oem$ (in the sources folder) be copied or can I move OEM to DVD root with it still being copied?

so basically: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> - <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> - <settings pass="windowsPE"> - <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="NonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <UseConfigurationSet>true</UseConfigurationSet> </component> - <settings pass="oobeSystem"> - <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="NonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> - <OOBE> <SkipUserOOBE>false</SkipUserOOBE> </OOBE> - <FirstLogonCommands> - <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <CommandLine>%systemdrive%\vista.cmd</CommandLine> <Order>1</Order> </SynchronousCommand> </FirstLogonCommands> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> - <OOBE> <SkipUserOOBE>false</SkipUserOOBE> </OOBE> - <FirstLogonCommands> - <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <CommandLine>%systemdrive%\vista.cmd</CommandLine> <Order>1</Order> </SynchronousCommand> </FirstLogonCommands> </component> </settings> </unattend> ??? would that work?

wait a sec, in the xml, it defines the processor arcitecture. what if I have a DVD wih both 64 and 86 installs that I want to use it on?

I deem thou; "Life Saver" thnx so much!!!

is there a vista version of runonce like from XP or similar? I want to activate a cmd either during the install or at first boot/logon

Where is it stored? I want to edit it for my custom installs. I edit the rtf's in the license\_DEFAULT and license\EN-US folders but it still displays the Microsoft Terms one. Thnx

How do I merge a 64bit and a 32bit boot.wim together so that I can I have a DVD that has both 32bit and 64bit Vistas that boot correctly (not dual booting if that helps!) Thanks so much!

so, I finished selecting all my doodads to take out and hit apply. I am applying this to a normal 32bit install.wim without businessN, starter, and homeN. i get this error when it rebuilds the first image (business) lame. my clg's on DVD have weird scrambled names as seen. I may be able to fix this issue if someone post the name of the CLG to the size like so: (the x86/32bit plz) INSTALL_WINDOWS VISTA ULTIMATE.clg 466KB INSTALL_WINDOWS VISTA HOMEBASIC.clg 418KB etc please and thnx!! Juggy update it did image 2 (HomeBasic) fine (i think). or, no errors this time!! on 3/4 1 - Error Business 2 - Complete Home basic 3 - Complete Home premium 4 - Error Ultimate update2: recreated the catalogs (clg) with WAIK, trying again

has this been fixed yet?

SLP? It is an HP OEM business Recovery (without HP bloatware). it has PID.TXT in the sources folder. it came with an HP machine I dont have anymore (I have the code still). if I delete business from install.wim, it asks for a code (the only instance of this, havent gone into depth for that)

well this selects business by default because its a business OEM dvd... the key wouldnt be ultimate, but it is the key that is automatically inputted when I installed business (trying to do ultimate) on a virtual machine also, is this significant? it was in product.ini [sku] skuid=PRODUCT_STARTER,PRODUCT_HOME_BASIC,PRODUCT_HOME_PREMIUM,PRODUCT_BUSINESS,PRODUCT_ENTERPRISE,PR ODUCT_ULTIMATE,PRODUCT_HOME_BASIC_N,PRODUCT_BUSINESS_N [cmi] namespace=urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend UseVistaRtmKeys=true ClientServerSplit=true AnswerFileFormat=1 [BuildInfo] staged=BUSINESS,BUSINESSN,HOMEBASIC,HOMEBASICN,HOMEPREMIUM,ULTIMATE

I have the same issue! the only *.wim modified is the install.wim I copied the boot.wim from the 64bit dvd and got the same problem. I dont get this when I deal with my 32bit vista folder!
