prathapml Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 I think this used to happen with XP.WINNTBBA.DLL and WINNTBBU.DLL from I386 were the 2 files that would contain the strings & resources, that were used from setup.exe & boot-setup respectively? Just thought this piece of info might help to find a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amit_talkin Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share Posted April 29, 2007 (edited) yup..but for vista, thr is nothing like this . caz i have almost edited all files which are responsible for setup wizard and contains resources of it. even enabled show hidden system files option if any files r hidden in dvd.

amit_talkin Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 (edited) thnx @innocent_devil ...yes..i looked into boot.wim, and replaced all files with mine edited one. it worked now !!! . and yes you are right...boot.wim contains 2 images as u told. btw. one thing i noticed...tht if u wanna install Vista by booting dvd only..thn u can remove files in "resources" folder of vista which are already in boot.wim...caz vista uses only boot.wim files while booting dvd ( i have tested this )similarly if u want to install vista using setup.exe file, u can remove similar files from boot.wim and can reduce size of it.r u getting me wht i want to say?

123321 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Hello, umm... I would like to know which programs did you use to open the boot.wim file? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAVERICKS CHOICE Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 (edited) boot.wim is an image file you would simply mount it with imagex.exe which comes with the waik tools for managing images etc.imagex /mountrw D:\Unattended\Vista\Vista2\sources\boot.wim 1 D:\Unattended\Vista\Mountimagex /unmount /commit D:\Unattended\Vista\Mount Paste these two lines of code into seperate text files & name it what you wish with a .cmd ext. change the paths as you see fit.
