Win 7 no WPI startup

[bblazer]

Hello all,

I want to make the following dvd:

-windows 7 with WPI installed

What ever i do, it doesn't work for me.

-I have an oem win 7 disk

-made an image of it

-downloaded wpi 8.2

-installed 2 silent programs (winrar and office 2007)

-downloaded rar file "sources" and put it in the $oem$ folder of win dvd image

-the WPI folder was moved in the root of the win 7 dvd image

-with isobuster i saved the image

-i tested it in VMWARE 8

WHen i boot with the image, it installs windows 7 but "auto installs" VMware tools but no office or winrar.

Can somebody tell me what i am doing wrong.

I did a lot of research, but i cannot find an example of win 7 WITH wpi settings.

THNX

Martijn

You are putting the sources folder too deep by dropping it into the $oem$ folder...

It has already been made with several folders in it.

You simple choose extract here and drop the created folder to the root of the disk.

I copied the content exactly in the right depth of the folders.

But u can try it again, you're way.

Is VMware a problem with testing WPI?

[Kelsenellenelvian]

Nope I use vmware when testing

[bblazer]

I just don't know.

Windows 7 boots oke in vmware, but after install.

windows boots and auto install vmware tools.

I didn't select that option in WPI.

and no software install that i created with wpi.

I placed the "sources" in de dvdroot

There must be something......

#1 vmware tools normaly doesn't autoinstall.

#2 I will do some testing tonight and see if i can replicate your issue.

(I never run wpi from the source disk I keep mine on a usb key)

Thanx!

I will wait for you're result

Fixed and tested.

Get a new sources archive and check the option of "Load Desktop Before installation starts"
