mahi Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 I have a weird problem. I'm at my first attempt to create a simple unattended Windows XP SP2 cd that's stripped from some useless stuff. I used nLite. The cd boots fine, Windows setup starts but after a while it says it cannot find "setupreg.hiv" and the setup aborts. However, when I take a look at the contents of the cd image nLite created, the file "setupreg.hiv" is in the "i386" folder. I'm not sure what's going wrong.I slipstreamed SP2 into my XP as described on the Microsoft website. Then I used nLite to strip a few programs I don't use (nothing too important). After that I used nLite to create the iso image which I burnt with Nero.Anyone has an idea what went wrong and how I can fix this?Update: Well actually setup doesn't say it cannot find the file, it says it cannot load the file. The exact message is:File setupreg.hiv could not be loaded.The error code is 32768But that doesn't help me any further... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahi Posted October 1, 2004 Author Share Posted October 1, 2004 Ok, nevermind this question... I found the problem. It seems the cd-rw media I wrote the image to contains errors. Not sure how they come there, I've used that disc many times before without problems. But when I use another cd-rw disc, setup continues as normal.

tjhart85 Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 I've had the same problem using crappy CD-R disks as well as CD-RW disks that hadn't had a full level format in a while.So, thats a message to everyone out there, if setup says it can't find a file, just try reburning it on more dependable media.
