xtree Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I and trying to install W2k8_64 using WinPE. I installed WAIK on a W2k8 SP2 system and built WinPE. After booting WinPE I net use to the W2K8_64 bit install directory and run setup.exe. However setup.exe is throwing an error:The version of setup.exe is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need a x86 (32bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher.I built the WInPE environment on a W2k8 SP2 64bit machine. Any insight is appreciated on why this isn't working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arwidmark Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 You need to create an x64 winpe image to run the x64 setup.exeSo instead of running "copype x86 c:\whateverfolder" you need to run "copype amd64 c:\whateverfolder"/ Johan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
