nuhi, I've got the same problem on Vista x86, a frind of mine has it too (dunno what he removed and what not) I've checked IIS in the compability screen but now it won't install. I've removed TabletPC but kept Snipping Tool, so I don't know what causes the problem! Here is my Last Session.ini file: ; vLite preset file [Information] Version = 1.1 beta on 2.0.50727.42 Microsoft Windows NT 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Target = Windows Vista BUSINESS 32-bit [Compatibility] Aero Glass Internet Explorer Internet Information Services Scanners and Cameras [Components] ;# Accessories # Accessibility Speech Support Welcome Center Windows Sidebar and Gadgets Wordpad ;# Drivers # Display adapters Ethernet network adapters Modems Printers-Apollo Printers-Brother Printers-Canon Printers-Citizen Printers-Dell Printers-Diconix Printers-Epson Printers-Fuji Xerox Printers-Fujitsu Printers-Generic printer Printers-Gestetner Printers-IBM Printers-Infotec Printers-Konica Printers-Konica Minolta Printers-Kyocera Mita Printers-Lanier Printers-Lexmark Printers-Minolta Printers-Minolta-QMS Printers-NEC Printers-NRG Printers-Oce Printers-Oki Printers-Okidata Printers-Olivetti Printers-Panasonic Printers-QMS Printers-Ricoh Printers-Samsung Printers-Savin Printers-Seikosha Printers-Sharp Printers-Sony Printers-Star Printers-Tally Printers-Tektronix Printers-Wipro ePeripherals Printers-Xerox Scanners Sound controllers ;# Games # Game Explorer Inbox Games Premium Inbox Games ;# Hardware Support # Fax Support Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) Smartcards Windows Mobile Device Center ;# Languages # Japanese Korean Simplified Chinese Traditional Chinese ;# Multimedia # Movie and DVD Maker Sample Pictures Screensavers Shell event sounds SideShow Sound Recorder Wallpapers Windows Calendar Windows Media Codecs Windows Media Player Windows Media Samples ;# Network # Connect to a Network Projector MSN Installer Remote Desktop and Assistance Remote Desktop Client Windows Collaboration ;# Services # Computer Browser Diagnostics Distributed Link Tracking Client Error Reporting Microsoft DFS Replication Offline Files Remote Registry Volume Shadow Copy Windows Remote Management Windows Search ;# System # Disk Defragmenter Help IMAPIv2 Burning Support Malicious Software Removal Tool Manual Install (Setup.exe) Microsoft Agent Natural Language Reliability and Performance Monitor Security Center SuperFetch Sync Center System Restore Tablet PC Windows Backup Windows Defender Windows Easy Transfer Windows SAT Zip Folder [Options] UAC (User Account Control) = Disabled Show hidden files and folders = Yes Show extensions for known file types = Yes [Protection] [Drivers] D:\Downloads\VISTA\Drivers0_SATA\SI3132.inf J:\Downloads\Windows Vista\Drivers1_Notebook Control Device Driver\SonyNC.inf J:\Downloads\Windows Vista\Drivers2_FlashMedia\TI21SONY.INF J:\Downloads\Windows Vista\Drivers3_Network1\e1e5132.inf J:\Downloads\Windows Vista\Drivers4_Network2\e100a325.inf J:\Downloads\Windows Vista\Drivers\10_Camera\usbvm321.inf J:\Downloads\Windows Vista\Drivers\Modem\SnSZIRXz.inf J:\Downloads\Windows Vista\Drivers\Video\nvsz.inf J:\Downloads\Windows Vista\Drivers\Wireless\NETw2.INF [Unattended] [Hotfixes] [LanguagePacks] Update : Deselecting Volume Shadow Copy didn't work...

I manually format my hard drive. The problem is solved now. I downloaded the ultimate boot cd, checked my HD if it had any errors but it hadn't. I then used one of the partition tools on the CD to create my partitions and than Vista installed like it should! Strange problem, I guess there was something wrong with my partition table (though I did a chkdsk/fixmbr) Thanks annyways

My answer file causes the problem! Without it I was able to install Vista on my laptop! Let's hope somebody knows what causes it, I'll try to search what it is ...

Just found out that Partitionmagic isn't able to read my partitions guess that's the problem! I'll reformat one of these days and I'll report here if it worked or not, but I guess it will

Yep I know, all other Vista versions are removed! I use INDEX and 1, which should work (and works!) No problem on VMWare, only native :s

Yeah, I checked all topics that had something about this error code, everything is right in my xml file (as far as I know) I've changed the index to name, and the value I used was "Windows Vista BUSINESS" but that didn't work because of the (vLite) that has to come in the name. I had to select my version, did that and than got the same error when trying to install on my HD I don't have this problem in VMware, kinda weird, isn't it ?! Could it be caused by some components that I have removed in vLite ? I've removed almost everything my iso is 650MB

I've been creating a Vista image the last days! Works great in VMWare but no go native on my system! It's the second time I'm creating a Vista image for my laptop, but because of no time I did not keep my first attempt (which did work). I've vLited my ISO to about 650MB, used my old answerfile, but no go.. I still get this problem! I can not replace the HD because it's a laptop with a SATA disk, and I'm not planning to buy another SATA disk to just test this crap... So is there anybody able to help me ? I've googled for this error but I didn't find anything usefull or something that works for me...

JJ,

using orca go into the InstallExecuteSequence table and drop the row QuickTimePreInstallMSIProc shark Thanks mate, that did the trick! Though I'll still use your installer for my silent installations

Hi! Thanks in first place, I've been using your installer since 7.1 now! Got to know it from somebody at the dutch tweakers.net site! Anyway, I'm curious how you created this installer ? I've been playing with it some time ago but it didn't work for me! I guess you also used Orca to edit the msi, bu could you say what you've changed ? I would like to create my own installer, not that yours isn't good enough, but I like to know what has been edited + I want an installerer with the user interface, as I use it also to install non-silently! Thanks in advance, Jeroen. (PS: you can PM me the info too if you want to keep your topic clean or don't want to get it public ...)

Strange...my key didn´t work in unattended instalation...and i don´t know to skip the key. I also can't install without a key (I haven't got one at the moment, it should be here every minute...) I think it is impossible to skip the key part if you don't have one.. unless we find the guy that was able to... it isn't such a big problem, the only disadvantage is taht I'll have to wait to continu till I hace a key

I fixed the error by copying the complete WinPE part of this file: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&amp...st&p=610296 The only thing left is that I'm not able to install without a key... There are some problems with my MSDNAA account (for everybody of my school), we're waiting already more than a month on Vista keys...

Thx, it was done so by WSIM... :s I've already noticed WSIM puts everyhting in the oposite order ... EDIT: nope, still the same error! I also get this error with the original image of Vista... I guess it's something else ?

I did what you described and it should be correct now, but it didn't work neither. I'm thinking about testing my answer file on an original (non- vLited) copy of Vista. this is the answer file i've tested with: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <unattend

Can you give an example of /IMAGE/NAME ? the help file included in WAIK doesn't give that much information...

This error comes up before the installation even begins... when you should get the screen to click install (first screen you get) this pops up, so I don't get anything. Clicking "OK" just reboots my VM.. I will add the install from key and test it! thx!

I've got the same problem, this is what I did extracted the MSDNAA image, opened the folder with nLite and removed some components. Then created an Autounattend.xml file with Windwos SIM. I also created a configuration set and I saved a folder in the root of my dvd named "oem" (whithout the $ marks). If I then load the image in VMWare I get the following error: "Cannot load bootstrap-settings for Windows PE given in the answerfile" Installing without my answer file does just fine. It only takes the answer file if it's in the root of my DVD. replacing/removing the oem folder didn't do anything.. this is my AutoUnattend.xml file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <unattend

Thanks in advance!

I was able to fix the S-buttons, by installing an older version of the 'Event Services'... You can update to the latest version after that.... only thing that is not working right now, is the Webcam tool... Hopefully somebody can help me with that... If I find the solution myself, I will post it here

Copying those references should work 1024*768 looks nice on a screen that has such a native resolution, but isn't quite nice no a 1280*800widescreen

I haven't got any idea on modding the cab... If it aint possible, I will stick to the 1024x768 installation screen

I found out where those programs are needed for: - Sony_Shared_Library: This gives your VAIO the ability to know who he is and controlls things like fans, and other important hardware - ESSENTIAL. - SonyUtils_DLL: This is for the FN keys and any other Sony related peripherals. - Setting_Utility_Series: Sets brightness contrast etc. - Battery Checker (is it neccesary to install this ?): This checks your battery is an official Sony battery and - maintains it's cycles and checks it's properties. Not really essential. - Sony MP4 Shared Library: MP4 video capabilities in VAIO Zone - Sony Video Shared Library: More codec support for VAIO Zone though, my problem still isn't fixed...

Tested it, and it isn't working with VidChng.exe.... Also what I forgot to mention in the first post: When I am installing in VMWare, it is installing @ 1280x800, it's only when I'm installing on my laptop itself it isn't working...

Nobody ? Somebody should have had the same problem... no ? If it makes any sense, the theme I am using is the 'Royale theme' (uxtheme.dll patch needed)

After buying my new laptop, I wanted to have an Unattended CD for that one too, but when I looked a bit around in the files, I noticed it would be quite a lot more work than my old laptop and my desktop... I have a Sony VAIO FE(21M, Europe) and it seems that it has quite a lot apps to be installed. After some searching around I found this link: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showpost.p...mp;postcount=17 It helped me quite a bit in some stuff. But I still have some problems. I've been able to fix some of them by testing out a lot of stuff (did for about 15formats last week...) I was able to make the FN and Shortcut keys to work, but I'm not able to set them, in example if I press S1, a balloon pops with the question if I want to set it, and if yes, I have to click on the balloon. Normally it than should start an app where I can set the S keys etc. but I get an error saying "The Application can't be started", There isn't any more information... I get the same error if I press "Fn + F7" to set the video output, when I want to start the setup utility to change the autoconnect settings for TV Out.... The applications I have installed: - Sony_Shared_Library - SonyUtils_DLL - Setting_Utility_Series - Camera_Utility - Event_Services - Wireless_Switch_Setting_Utility Not installed applications: - Battery Checker - Power Management - LAN Setting Utility - Sony MP4 Shared Library - Sony Video Shared Library - VAIO Update - Wireless LAN Starter - VAIO Control Center (tested it WITH this app, but it didn't make any difference...) Hopefully somebody can help me ! Also, if somebody knows where all those applications are used for, this might be quite helpfull (I'm talking about Sony_Shared_Library, SonyUtils_DLL, Setting_Utility_Series, Battery Checker (is it neccesary to install this ?), Sony MP4 Shared Library and Sony Video Shared Library) Thx in advance! Jeroen.

I have my personal Theme in my UAXP Disk. This theme gets applied automatically via winnt.sif after Windows installation. The problem I'm having is that somethings wrong! The theme has some stuff applied wrong, see screenshot below for what I mean... It gets fixed if I re-apply the style (not the whole theme) manually... I don't get this error only after WinXP installation, but also if I apply my theme on my PC after using another theme or something... It's quite strange and verry irritating, as I have to re-apply the style manually after every install/theme change... hopefully somebody can help me! thx in advance! Jeroen.

Thx! I already have the HIVESYS reference (installation was 1024x768 before) I will try it with the other thing you said and will let you know the results
