Does this only work for Ultimate, or other versions as well?

Ok this means that it isn't tripping up on files made by either the Vista or XP OS. Found some other things... - Uncheck XML from the Index options - Disable Outlook Indexing

Extendo Sports

"Windows 7 HOMEBASIC (x64)" vs “Windows 7 HOMEBASIC (x64)” Looks the same, especially in Notepad, but the quotes are actually different key codes.

What about using a Dual Layer DVD?

If you think this file specifically is corrupted, you can always install a windows update (or even IE9) that will update iertutil.dll. However, you haven't said what program gives this error. Can you post a picture of the actual error message?

Does the SID from the event log match the one in HKEY_Users... Here is the location I mean... of course I'm not displaying my entire SID...

Welcome to the MSFN!

You haven't confirmed whether the SID in HK_USERS matches the one in the Event log yet.

There's a bunch of different sites out there. Some do have more commercial stuff, but if you can think of an old game, look it up + abandonware and see what you can find. I've found that some old indie games are not abandonware for some reason tho.

You are downloading the individual files?

Try CPU ID: http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html

Do you have Microsoft Office installed? I found this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930010 I'm running out of ideas. Could you post a screenshot of your Indexing Options in Control Panel maybe?

Welcome back!

I know Belgium more because I used to wear a Belgian coat, complete with a flag on it. Many people would ask me if I was German.

I removed your (OP) email address. We have a PM system here that users can use to send you a message. As you may imagine, MSFN is heavily indexed (sometimes to my chagrin) and posting an email address in plain sight in a post could lead you to unwanted spam. For any further questions about nLite, please post them in our nLite section: http://www.msfn.org/board/forum/89-nlite/

Ha my HTA does things like that too because I do not have good error handling in it. Anyways, you cannot post any files found within the recovery partition.

As I mentioned before, my company stopped selling Vista so I never worked with SP2. However, when I wanted to make SP1 installs, here was my process. 1. Use Autounattend.xml to install Vista and have it boot to Audit mode. 2. Install the SP1 standalone installer (wave0 in my case) 3. Sysprep /oobe /generalize /shutdown 4. capture the drive as a WIM with Imagex Of course I used a WDS Server for my deployments, but you can create a new install DVD easily. Take your WIM and call it INSTALL.WIM and replace the one in the sources folder. You should be able to do an install with that, probably can do with an XML as well. You do not need to put the XML on the DVD, you can insert a UFD during install.

Well the "operation completed successfully" is a standard system message, that's why it shows up there. Whatever the last thing it did (or last recorded doing) succeeded, even though the installation itself failed. Basically, that message is from a sub-process, and not to reflect the entire process. There seems to be a couple fixes for this message. 1. Updating drivers 2. installing via Windows update. Social

You can't select multiple folders to take ownership. You can select the "most" parent folder and take ownership of that. - Right-click on folder, click Properties - click Security - click Advanced - click the Owner tab - click Edit - select your Account in the "Change owner to" list. - select the "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects" - click OK.

Also recommend use RE drives from WD. I wouldn't trust desktop drives for this setup. Are you doing software or hardware RAID?

The drive itself may still be set to RAID. You haven't posted a lot of information about your previous RAID configuration, such as type or controller. If you do not need the data on the drive, you can write zeroes to it, although a low-level format may be able to remove the RAID flag as well. Sending to Drives forum for more insight.

I totally understand the "not successful" part... What does it say under details? Also this screen appears after the reboot, you can ignore it and look at Computer Properties, does it say SP1 there?

I made that comment regarding the fact that I've seen so many forums come and go. It seems difficult to get a new forum to be popular because there is usually an old forum that is still going strong that is established enough to take most of that kind of traffic away. If you think of all (or maybe most but of course I am sure Jaclaz can prove me wrong) of the big time forums are from "old-time" websites/forums from back in the "dot com days".
