caouette Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Has anyone tried using ImageUltra Builder to deploy a Vista WIM image yet? I am experimenting with it, and wanted to see if anyone had any tips or tricks. I figure I should be able to at least install it as a "Hardware Specific Image". -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caouette Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 Ok, I almost have it working. I created my normal WIM image, and imported it into IUB as a Hardware Specific Image. I also set the image to deploy over the network to speed up the whole process. The computer gets repartitioned, and the WIM image applies to the c: drive. Unfortunately, upon first boot, I get an error that NTLDR can't be found. I can manually fix it by running "bootsect.exe /nt60 c:", but adding that command (and bootsect.exe) to the HSI OS module does not work. I'm gonna try the /force switch next. I think I can get it to work, and I'll let you guys know about my results.-Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caouette Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 (edited) I got it working. IUB now images a machine, and successfully boots into Vista. Here's how I got it working. In my Hardware Specific Image source, I added a copy of bootsect.exe, and put this command in my deploy.bat, which runs the actual imagex.exe /apply command. Perviously, I had tried the bootsect.exe command after the imagex command. That didn't work. The bootsect command needed to be before the imagex command. Here is the contents of my deploy.bat file:bootsect.exe /nt60 c: /forceimagex.exe /apply vista_image.wim 1 c:And the contents of the source files folder for the OS module:deploy.batimagex.exevista_image.wimwimscript.inibootsect.exeAnd finally the contents of my Vista basemap:ImageUltra 3.0 - Windows XP Pro Primary PartitionHSI OS Module for Windows Vista Enterprise-Mike Edited February 19, 2007 by caouette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanderrr Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 imagex.exe /apply vista_image.wim 1 c:How about imagex.exe /apply /boot vista_image.wim 1 c:Worked for me ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
