i will set the original name and see how it goes.

don't worry about it. Sadly, the problem is still there. Grabbed a fresh install.wim, added hotfixes (none of those three posted by zedox), added spanish language pack and saved only the Ultimate version. Tried to open the Autounattend.xml file with WSIM. The error was the same: Enumeration Failed.

Vista doesn't have that functionality built-in. Nevertheless, Windows Server does have it with the $WinPEDrivers$ folder. The PkgMgr method of injecting drivers is working so far. The only downside is that many vendors are releasing drivers many often and its difficult to have a source folder for drivers as with XP but im keeping an install.wim with hotfixes and language pack only so i can integrate drivers before going to the field to make vista installations.

Thanks for the information. Please don't come to me with the "if you searched for this before..." thing. I really try searching for answer before asking as i like to do things by myself. You sounded a little impolite, that's all. I googled and searched this forum about enumeration problems with the WSIM catalog function and didn't found this exact problem. Off the three updates im just integrating KB931099 so i will make another fresh image without this one and see if WSIM is working fine after vLite finishes.

im using this two methods to install programs to see how they suit my needs. overall, i think setupcomplete is fine because the use doesnt need to logon previously. at the beginning of my setupcomplete.cmd file i will try to apply registry tweaks but im wondering if they will work as no user is yet logged on. has anyone tried this already? and i have another question. i want to disable UAC but as a reboot is required when doing it manually, i dont know if it will be already disabled when the user logs on for the first time. and another one ... using setupcomplete can i copy/move files on the start menu so i can rearrange it. i think i wont be able to do it for Currentuser start menu but i will still try it later. if it does not work, i will do the cleaning in the firstlogoncommands. thanks for any feedback you may have on this questions.

I have test it a fresh image of windows with just integrated hotfixes and spanish language pack. Then i integrate drivers but vista is not installing them. I tried the same image and injected the drivers into the image using this method and it worked without any issue except Realtek HD Audio 1.80 Anyone has a solution? many thanks.

well, everything worked fine, my apps were installed using Install.cmd injected into the root of install.wim and calling it from FirstLogonCommands. i have a question anyway, is there a way that one can install programs and have them displayed one by one like we used to do with XP RunOnceEx? i want them being displayed so i know where is my cmd file at any given time without using echo to display cmd window.

the image vlited thats why i posted here. i removed all versions of vista except ultimate and just integrated hotfixes and spanish language pack. i noticed in the sources folder that after the initial catalogin with WSIM there is Windows Vista (vLite) ULTIMATE.cfg and vLite didnt generated this file, it is using Windows Vista ULTIMATE.cfg so i think the error has to do with either the name of the image that vLite changes and the versions removed.

as the error says enumeration fails i think WSIM is expecting to find all versions of vista but i removed them and let only the ultimate version. i didnt remove anything, i just integrated hotfixes and spanish language pack.

i have one question. many guides are using auditsystem pass to install programs. isn't this an easier way to launch setups? i will try this in a couple of hours: i made a batch file called Install.cmd and added a FOR loop to set the DVD letter, then added start /wait for 5 msi setups to install. i mounted install.wim and copied Install.cmd to root (%SYSTEMDRIVE%) then added FirstLogonCommands to my Autounattend.xml. i hope this works because i think this could be an easy way to install programs instead of using auditSystem. has anyone tried this already? will post my results.

i cant be sure 100% but i don't think you can bypass minimum system requirements checks at setup with that video card. also, if you have vista ready hardware, why are you trying to use that card? curiosity? post if you try to see happened.

im having the same issue with drivers integration. im trying vLite on a Toshiba Laptop so i can be sure everything works in the real world (tired of many VM runs). I integrated Intel Chipset Installation Utility for 945GM chipset, Intel 945ABG WiFi, Realtek HD Audio (this isnt WHQL certified, so i expect this one wasnt installed by vista), Synaptics, Marvell Yukon ethernet and motorola modem. none of these were installed by vista. i checked all versions on device manager to corroborate... anyone having this issue or im missing something to get them running? thanks in advance.

sorry, was mistake when copy-pasting into the post. i have tested the xml in a real computer and it does work well, but i dont have a clue why WSYM doesnt let me add components to specialize. after deleting SkipAutoActivation i just added DisableSR to the file and it did let me save it. i tried disabe windows defender and i got the same error again.

here it is. is just like vLite generated and then i tried to open it with WSYM to add more settings. i did not make any modifications to the windows images after vLite finished rebuilding it. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> <settings pass="windowsPE"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE" 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"> <SetupUILanguage> <UILanguage>es-ES</UILanguage> </SetupUILanguage> <InputLocale>0001042f</InputLocale> <UserLocale>es-MX</UserLocale> <UILanguage>es-ES</UILanguage> <SystemLocale>es-MX</SystemLocale> </component> <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"> <UserData> <ProductKey> <Key>XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX</Key> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> </ProductKey> <Organization>Organization</Organization> <FullName>FullName</FullName> <AcceptEula>true</AcceptEula> </UserData> </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> <HideEULAPage>true</HideEULAPage> <NetworkLocation>Home</NetworkLocation> <ProtectYourPC>1</ProtectYourPC> </OOBE> <TimeZone>Central Standard Time (Mexico)</TimeZone> </component> </settings> <settings pass="specialize"> <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"> <ComputerName>Duoata</ComputerName> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Security-Licensing-SLC-UX" 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"> <SkipAutoActivation>true</SkipAutoActivation> </component> </settings> <cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:D:/VistaUA/DVD/sources/install.wim#Windows Vista (vLite) ULTIMATE" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" /> </unattend> thanks.

I finished testing vLite and all worked out. I wanted to add more settings to Autounattend.xml using WSIM so i tried to open the Autounattend.xml generated by vLite but i got this error: I opened install.wim to start from scratch and everything was fine. then i added ComputerName to specialize pass, fine. Then i added AutoSkipActivation, error. Deleted the last entry and added other settings, error. I opened the Autounattend.xml generated by vLite, clicked OK on the error dialog and deleted AutoSkipActivation and i was able to save the file or add other stuff to other passes. My ComputerName has a single word name without any special characters or symbols. I read here in the vLite forum that ComputerName had issues with spaces or something. I also tried removing ComputerName and only added AutoSkipActivation to specialize but failed again. any help on this one? thanks.

i just found myself this error today. i was integrating a language pack. i googled the error and found that it relates to read/write in hard drives. i tried three times to integrate the language pack and three times i got this. i think the package manager and vlite are causing this. i changed the temp folder in vLite options to another driver an it worked great. maybe vLite can enforce to use another drive for use as temp as default. also you can try to disable any anti-virus because as package manager does a lot of scripting when integrating hotfixes and language packs antivirus are scanning them a lot. you can gain some performance too.

as far as i can tell, vLite 1.1 Beta doesn't have the ability to add programs yet.

is there anything to reduce the final size using just ultimate edition? i wonder because im using this one alone and have seem many "ultimate versions" around the internet at about 1.2gb of size.

im having this issue too. tried both manually and using vlite. none of them worked. maybe another version will solve it.

the problems is that this spanish versions activates well but windows update says that there are no available updates and i cant install any if a download them manually. installing spanish version with spanish language pack while i found more about this builds.

has anyone tested this on vista? im having problems with the language selection at the start of the WinPE seutp.

those at RyamVM are the Critical and Recommended? thanks for the link but it seems that i better start reading all releases to know what each one is for.

just a quick question about updates? wich are the ones that microsoft labeled as critical and wich ones as recommended? im asking because i dont want to install all that insane list because many are configuration-specific. many thanks.

i just noticed some estrange things going around the updates. i was using a retail copy of spanish vista but the version number is different from the one i have at home. spanish 6.0.6000.16385 english 6.0.6000.16386 i tried the english version and the integrated updates showed up so i guess they weren't working with spanish build. i will investigate the build number differences in these retail copies.
