Octopuss Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 So I made a custom install cd, everything is just fine (looks fine), but after restard, shortly after the installation starts I get an error saying it cannot continue due to a problem with function needed for the install process or wtf. Says "wrong function" in the ASMS directory under i386. Please give me a tip what might be causing this. Right now I am in the process of trying to remove or rather put back various parts of the system, but it's lengthy process... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuhi Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Few things to try:-if you integrate IE be sure to integrate it's hotfixes after it (top to bottom)-sort all hotfixes the same by build date, top being the oldest-don't use ASMS compression (Hotfixes - Advanced options) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopuss Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 I didn't integrate anything but hotfixes. This error jumps up no matter if I just remove stuff or integrate fixes at all.Not using any compression... What's in the ASMS folder then?????I got no idea where the problem is, obviously it's some thing or combination of few settings somewhere, but hell knows where...

Octopuss Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 Hm, it works on corporate installation cd but not on OEM one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuhi Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 That's weird. Then that OEM is modified somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuhi Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I experienced the same issue if the wrong pack is integrated, meaning if you integrate SP2 update pack into SP1 Windows or something similar, just a note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopuss Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 I don't know really. It's totally normal OEM SP2 cd. I ended up using multi license install from work (ehm). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopuss Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 Even better.Similar problem when I tried to make custom install for my Dell pc at work. If I install from the cd, it works.If I COPY the cd and simply burn the whole thing again, installation process goes banana. I get error saying something about "cyclic redundant check" - again ASMS directory. What the hell is inside of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
