Hi guys, i've a strange problem with my German Windows XP Pro. and HFSLIP. I've done everything how it is described in the "manual" at vorck.com. My source was a clean German Windows XP Pro. CD only with SP2 slipstreamed - no other software/programmes (in SVCPACK for example). I used http://users.telenet.be/tc76/winup/_winxp.html to download the suggested hotfixes and software (the German-Versions of course). I downloaded and used HFSLIP_60528.cmd, also i put mkisofs.exe and CYGWIN1.DLL in HFTOOLS. Slipstreaming and ISO creation goes well. I use VMWare Workestation the test the Image. Textsetup (where you choose partition and so on) also goes well, graphic setup started without a problem. No HFxxx.inf files missing, everythink smooth until the small text over the progress-bar in graphical setup changed to "saving settings" [translated from german] with exactly 9 minutes left at the installation. The cursor got the hourglass for about 2 second and the the setup freeze... I can move the cursor around, but there is no setup-action anymore, i can push any button i will - no reaction. I even let it so for aprox. 1 hour... but no result. (the small "animation" in the lower right corner also stops) So i tried to do it on a clean install of VMWare and even on an other computer, same problem... I also left out the hotfixes one time, and the cab's an other time, same problem... When i restart the virtual-machine after the freeze it boots with Win XP Bootscreen, then i got the message "Setup will run again", and that what it does... till "saving settings".. There is no ERROR_REPORT.TXT in SOURCESS, i can post the .log later on if that can help. [i tried to make an ISO from the same source with the /integrate [to install via SVCPACK] switch for the hotfixes and setup installs WinXP smooth on VMWARE] Anyone with a non-english Windows XP Pro. had this / similar problem before ? I've searched the forum but i seems everyone had (if any) problems only with missing HFxxx.inf, to even start setup or that hotfixes wont be recognized by WU... If i have overlooked a post with a similar problem to mine - SORRY ! Thanks Tom
