NYTAIceman Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Hi Community,Since the newest WinPE Version from Windows 7 WAIK, it seems to be possible that the required setup.exe to start a installation for a install.wim resides in the winpe image self.In the unattend helpfiles from microsoft, the methodes are described but I don't understand them... I have allready created a PE Image with the followed packages:- WinPE-Setup- WinPE-Setup-Client- WinPE-Setup-ServerBut if I start the setup.exe who is existing in the created winpe image, the following error poped up:"Could not determine the setup language"So I integrated a lang.ini from a DVD in to the sources folder from the winpe image.So, if I start the setup.exe again on the winpe image, there is a error, that the WdsClient cannot connect to his WDS Server... But I don't need a WDS Server, I want to connect to a network share, start the setup.exe from winpe image, set the unattend.xml and install windows...1. Has anybody a idea for what the "WinPE-Setup" packages are made?2. Has anybody install a windows server 2008 R2 from a x86 winpe image?Thanks a lot,Bernard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I wont know about the Win7 PE until it hits RTM. I have the Beta installed but no time to use it yet.2008 R2 isn't RTM yet. I'm not entirely sure, but you may be using the packages wrong. You may be adding WDS packages to a straight PE maybe... I haven't tried using those packages yet, but to do an unattended install from WDS you need two answer files. I have/had a project on this here:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=130994But until 2008 R2 is RTM i can't proceed further because I require DataImage to work.

Jazkal Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Microsoft will not be supporting R2 deployed from x86 PE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizban2 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Jazkal is right, since it is only a 64-bit image, you will need a 64-bit PE image, which can launch a 32-bit image as well you will also need a PE 3.0 to launch it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
