vLite crashes on Windows XP Pro SP2

[yoni5002]

Hi guys,

I've been reading around but I haven't found a solution to my problem. Actually this is all I have found:

Reboot on browse

2007.08.21 by nuhi

Some of you experienced that on browse to the image and selecting proper OS inside it your machine reboots.

As I already said before that is not my mistake, it is a bug on MS part.

What are they waiting so long I do not know but in the meantime please report to all your affected anti-virus and firewall (with process protection) software developers to apply this workaround:

Crash while calling FltIsDirectory

This is a bug in FltIsDirectory. System Image Manager uses wimfltr.sys to overlay the contents of a wim on top of ntfs, and wimfltr takes ownership of any file objects in that overlay and uses its own format for the structures in the FsContext1 and FsContext2 fields.

The bug occurs when you call FltIsDirectory on a file that wimfltr.sys owns. Instead of sending the IRP for this function to all the filters in the device stack, filter manager sends the IRP directly down to NTFS. NTFS doesn't know how to deal with wimfltr's custom FsContext fields, and crashes.

Until a fix for this issue is available, you should avoid calling FltIsDirectory on file objects exposed by wimfltr. These files have NodeTypeCode == 0x1029 in their FSRTL_ADVANCED_FCB_HEADER.

So, what is that mean? I can't use vLite 1.1 RC? Is anybody else using this version?

Could my Antivirus or Firewall be the probelm here? Disabling those applications will allow me to browse and select my Vista Folder to vLite it?

Thanks in advanced for any information

Edited

I found a solution in this thread: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=110062

Comodo Firewal needs to be uninstalled. Disabling the Firewall will solve no problems at all
