zicoz Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I just installed my first Vlite installation, and it worked fine untill I tried to run Windows Update, because now it just keeps looping on the boot, it gets to 100% on the "3 of 3" part, then it reboots, and this goes on and on and on and on. Is it impossible to run Windows Update on a vlite intallation? Is this somehow because it tries to update things that aren't there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it depends on what you removed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zicoz Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 Yeah, I probably removed too much then, took it down to about a 680MB iso with Home Basic. But atleast it works for what it is supposed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oskingen Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 This pending.xml is causing a lot of trouble even with other applications. few days ago i was working on a case with an installation loop because of this file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathman20 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) The looping error from the 3 of 3 update is tricky. Mostly though it is because you removed 1 too many things.This is one reason why I'm going to be cautious of what I remove when I make a disk. There is just too many things that can screw up. As well you might want to test it in VirtaulBox, before doing a clean whip/install. Edited September 25, 2008 by deathman20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zicoz Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 This pending.xml file, do I remove this from the iso? From the newly installed produkt, or from the updated product before restarting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
