I have a copy of Vista x64 SP2 from MSDN but I cannot use WAIK to configure it. WAIK gives me some errors and do not want to read any MSDN Vista SP2 images. Vista SP1 is OK. I tryed WAIK v1.1 and version for Win 7 RC too.

What to do?

Thank you.

could you please post the error message?

This is from WAIK v1.1:

23:02 : 
23:02 : Windows System Image Manager execution failed.
23:02 : 
23:02 : System.Reflection.TargetParameterCountException: Parameter count mismatch.

WAIK for WIN 7 RC freezes and does not do anything.

on which OS are you running the WAIK? Windows Vista Sp1/Sp2 or Windows 7 Beta or RC?

Hi.

I am using Vista x64 SP1 as native system on my PC. I've just found out that it is something wong with it because when I install any WAIK on virtualized system (VMWare), everything is OK.

So, what is the verdict - is it still possible to use WAIK 1.1 with Vista with SP2 or we should wait for newer version of WAIK?!?

Is there a new WAIK available for Vista SP2 / 2008 server SP2 ?

WAIK 1.1 works well for Vista SP2. Also, I have installed it on machines with SP2 on it (clean installs from new ISO's).

In my laptop I have the WAIK for Windows 7 RC and it also works for SP2 images as well.

Is there a new WAIK available for Vista SP2 / 2008 server SP2 ?

Yes but it is still in Beta. Its the Windows 7 Beta WAIK with Win PE 3.0. See the following:
