Chadi Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) I used vlite yesterday and got the Windows 7 Beta down to 1.25GB in size. It installed from USB succesffullyto my Aspire One netbook (150), 8GB SSD model.I decided to use vlite one more time to shrink the size even further, got it down to 1.08GB (from previous 1.25GB).This time I used Business version instead of Ultimate.Now I get this error during install:windows could not collect information for [osimage] since the specified image file [install.wim] does not existThe install.wim file is in fact there, nearly 1GB in size.Would appreciate help on this.Also, how do I delete the previous sessions from the drop down list on the start area in vlite?

Chadi Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 I tried again with vlite. This time I left manualsetup but this time I got an errorin setup (where it lists available o/s options) that says: there are no images available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chadi Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 This is crazy. I tried again but this time Home Premium with unattended OFFThis time, I get an error that says the product key entered does not match any of the windows images available for installation. Enter a different product key.However, I never get any prompt to do just that! I click install, get that error, click ok and back to install button again.

mara- Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 If I can remember good, in order to use vLite with Windows 7, you should not remove Manual Installation, and you should not use Unattended page in vLite.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadi Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 Ok but I made clear in my last 2 posts that this time I left manual setup enabled and unattended off.I'm still getting the same error about the licenseEven creating from a new iso/bootable usb from scratch too.

MPalmz Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Have tried the whole process over again but keeping the rebuild as an "Ultimate" image? Leave unattended, and manualinstall and keep it as ultimate and give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadi Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) I tried again with Ultimate and obviously manual setup and unattended as I've said twice before.2 hours into the install it failed with an error stating one of the system components could not be installed.This vlite thing is buggyedit: I even had errors trying XP sp3 telling me missing or corrupt hal.dll file Edited January 15, 2009 by Chadi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ‡*¶‡�õ� Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 This vlite thing is buggySo your using Vlite with a BETA OS for which it wasnt even designed to be used on and Vlite's buggy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're a fool. Don't waste anyone's time here if you have nothing but sarcasm to share. W7 installed perfectly fine on two laptops as has XP SP3. Its not a coincidence vlite is causingissues with both o/s on this laptop now. Don't tell me crap that the o/s is beta because it installedperfectly fine on two other o/s that did not need vlite.

So, don't expect some big support for Win 7.Cheers Edited January 15, 2009 by mara- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) So tell me:How much did you pay for vLite?How much did you pay for windows7?WHAT you paid NOTHING?WOW and you have the nerve to complain that an application that WAS NOT made for windows7 DOES NOT work right on it.OMG we will refund 3x your money right away.

Keep stressing about it "like, omg!!"Statements like that might be kosher on other forums, but not here. You are obviously not capable of being even somewhat polite on the forums or following the rules, even though the answers received were indeed correct. Banned.
