bookie32 Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Hi guys!I hope I am in the right place....I hve VMware workstation 11 installed on my server...I am trying to create update syspreped images to deploy to my computers...Scenario.I create a new virtual machine..for example Windows 7 ProI create two virtual drives on is C: and one is D:I install Windows 7 Pro and when I get to add user I go to audit mode... CTRL+SHIFT+F3I then proceed to install updates in audit mode.I then turn off Windows 7 and defrag my virtual machine..I create a before_sysprep snapshot of the virtual machineI start the virtual machine and then run generalize and turn off the computer...I edit my settings to add my PE Boot 3.0 image...I boot into PE Boot and then proceed to capture my C: drive to my D: drive...This is where it goes pearshaped...I get the following error: [33%] capturing (with verification) progress: 13:59 min remaining[ERROR] C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBpersist_20151115080739.log <ERROR 2>Error imaging drive [C:\]The file can't be foundWhat I don't understand is no warnings came up when sysprepping...the process ended without error....Has anyone any ideas on this for me? Thanks!bookie32
bookie32 Posted November 16, 2015 Author Posted November 16, 2015 Hi again!I wouldn't have thought this problem would just be attributed to syspreping and capturing a VMware machine?I am no good at image capturing errors... bookie32
Tripredacus Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 What is your WinPE that you are capturing with? Using WDS default? MDT? Custom PE with DISM or Imagex?
bookie32 Posted November 21, 2015 Author Posted November 21, 2015 PE with imagex. Have added Swedish Support .Had no problem before.
bookie32 Posted November 24, 2015 Author Posted November 24, 2015 Hi again!I have a PE 3.0 and am getting Capture-Image unknown...Am I missing something here?It is a long time since I created a PE cd and can't remember how to add extra languages etc...Shouldn't the PE 3.0 work? bookie32
Tripredacus Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 It is the wrong DISM.exe. The one from the OS doesn't have /capture-image. In your AIK install, you need the DISM files from Tools\{arch}\Servicing. However you can also use the DISM from newer ADK too.
bookie32 Posted November 24, 2015 Author Posted November 24, 2015 Hi again!Yes, I have done some searching and found this....Just need to remember how to add Swedish support for keyboard to the new one...Thanks for coming by! bookie32
bookie32 Posted November 25, 2015 Author Posted November 25, 2015 Hi again!Been looking at language support and most files are in the \8.1\Assesment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\amd64\WinPE_OCs\sv-se folder - but I don't see one for font... Any ideas? bookie32
Tripredacus Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 My install doesn't have fonts for that locale either. Also there is no appropriate localisation for DISM, which you can find in the Deployment Tools folder. I also checked my ADK 10 install but it appears to be English only.
bookie32 Posted November 26, 2015 Author Posted November 26, 2015 Hi again!Thanks for the update!bookie32
bookie32 Posted November 26, 2015 Author Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) Hi again!Is this winpe like the older ones and I need to add dism.exe to the boot.wim? bookie32PS are there any general drivers that you would recommend adding to the winpe? Edited November 26, 2015 by bookie32
Tripredacus Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 There are 2 methods I use for adding files. One is to mount the wim and put the files in there. For a quicker way sometimes I have files on a network share or copy from a deployed image in order to run. As for drivers, I only add what I specifically need in order to keep sizes down. Some others like to add driver packs for mass storage or LAN, especially if they are going to be using their WinPE in a repair shop type scenario and may not know exactly what hardware they are going to be running on.
bookie32 Posted November 27, 2015 Author Posted November 27, 2015 Hi again! OK! Thanks for your help! bookie32
