WAIK install keeps failing


Recommended Posts

Posted

I downloaded the WAIK .ISO and burned a WAIK DVD. I have tried twice to install WAIK (using the Waikx86.msi installer file )but it always eventually ends with an error telling me that the installation failed. I click to close the box and the installation window says that it installed successfully (?!?). So, what the hell... I try to install wimfltr.inf but that install fails too.

My understanding is that to run vLite you install a "WIM filter" and a "WIM API", but these install automatically once you have installed WAIK.

Solution:

You have to copy wimgapi.dll from Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\x86 to the vLite folder.

You need the waik for Vista too NOT the waik for 7...

Didn't for me either...I have W7-32 HP. Downloaded, W7 WAIK, burned ISO, installed WAIK, copied wimgapi.dll to vLite directory and vLite still gets hung up on the WAIK/WAMGAPI issue...INSTALL opens the MS website and cancel closes the program...Any ideas?

YOU CANNOT USE THE WAIK FOR WIN7!

vLite does not recognize it!
