[Vista version of runonce]

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?)

[Vista version of runonce]

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?

[Vista version of runonce]

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?

[Vista version of runonce]

I deem thou; "Life Saver"

thnx so much!!!

[Vista version of runonce]

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

[Vista's License]

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

[Boot.wim]

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!

[Rebuilding image error]

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

[Vista BSOD?]

has this been fixed yet?

[OEM DVD Question]

Is this an HP OEM SLP DVD does it have PID.TXT file in sources folder, did it come with HP machine and was it preinstalled or did you by the dvd from elswhere do you need to input a serial number when installing vista?

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)

[OEM DVD Question]

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

[boot image index 1 failed to load]

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!
