McoreD Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 (edited) I've been scratching my head for weeks trying to find out where to download Windows SIM because it is not there in Vista default installation. The instructions asks us to : Open Windows SIM by clicking Start, All Programs, Microsoft Windows AIK, and then clicking Image Manager.Any clue guys? Much appreciated.

ddebacker Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 (edited) Guess you have to install the WAIK first If I remember well it's a 900 MB download... Edited June 9, 2006 by ddebacker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McoreD Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Can you please provide me a download link for it? Surprisingly I can't seem to find the link easily.

fizban2 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 *CLARIFICATION*the WAIK is not downloadable to the public yet, it has been absorbed into the new Business Desktop Deployment App (BDD 3.0) this has gone beta to select MS partners and beta testers, it should be avialable more wide spread soon (can't give you a date cause i have no idea) to do an unattended vista installion though you don't need the WAIK, you can still do it the good old fashioned way, just finished a Unattended install DVD, i will note what you need to do later today to create an unattended install of Vista 5384 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T D Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Is there any way we can join the beta? I checked http://connect.microsoft.com but it's not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizban2 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 the beta in question was the beta for Vista/longhorn, so no they aren't taking anymore applicatants for it, teh BDD will be released publicly soon (i hope) but till then you will have to make your Unattended Vista installs by hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks fizban2. Although you call it as old fashioned way, it is not the winnt.sif way, right? All I know is that it is something to do with unattended.xml and I am not sure where to put it because there is no I386 folder anymore. Really looking forward to your guide.
