This was caused but the issue of Windows Home Premium. Solved!

This is experimental, so i will not purchase anything until im sure it works. But sorry for the refrence.

I am having the same exact problem, using Home Premium. Im trying to strip this one down to fit on a 4GB Compact Flash for my HTPC. I have downloaded a preactivated version. It worked before i was using vlite to mess with it. For testing im trying to install to vmware, but get this error everytime its finished. Have also tried to replace the hal.dll file, this will give a NTOSKRNL.EXE is missing or corrupt. Looks like its something to do with boot settings, however i have found that Vista is not using the boot.ini for bootloader, so after i searched the net i found that in order to edit boot you need to use the bcdedit in command prompt. Type bcdedit /? to get the overview. However everything appears to be good.. I have tried the repair option from the installer disk but it seems like it hangs. I waited 30min. but still nothing. I will try to extend my patience today but im fairly certain that this will not help. Edit: And it didnt: The repair option froze at eventlog. The eventlog component is installed. Will try to use other virtual software then vmware.. Edit: Ive tried the "vm" from sun, same error. Im out of options, any suggestions??
