Mounting image error Code: -2147024893

Hello reader,

I get the following error message

after I select the vista install files

in the first window.

Mounting image error.

Did you restart after installing the Filter Manager?

Anyway try restarting your computer now and see if that helps,

if that does not solve the issue please report.

- Code: -2147024893

(Rebooting doesn't change anything.)

I use vLite in a vmware windows xp machine.

The vista files are on my hdd and are shared

with "Shared Folders" option of vmware (with write

permission).

I have not found any solution for the problem

with this error code yet. Maybe I am the first

to report it.

What is the exact error reason behind this

code number and how to solve it?

You are not the first one to report it, try some searching.

But I must admit we actually don't have a clue why it happens.

What seems to help is a host Windows reinstall, but that's extreme.

Thx for the reply.

After reinstalling windows didn't solve the problem,

I recognized that the problem occured after I have set

the vlite temp directory on the network drive of vmware

(which read/write permission).

So I had the following configuration:

Y:\vlite (directory where vlite should copy the vista files from cd to)

Y:\vlite temp (the directory of the vlite temp files)

(Y: being the network drive of vmware of course)

After I set the temp direcotry to "c:\temp" the error disappeared.

I first set the temp dir on the network drive, because I thought

the space on the vmware partition could not be enough.

Meanwhile I have a well running vista home premium

which only needs 3.73gig. Good work!

Hopefully this information helps you

to solve the problem.

Thank you. Now that you reminded me that issues was solved by reseting the temp folder to the default for some...uh how could I forget.

Enjoy and feel free to report any issue once you confirm that it doesn't happen on the full Vista.

I tried to see if this was the problem but no. Even though I set my temp directory to c:\temp or whatever it still refuses to run I tried permissions I tried disabling network shares I tried running in safe mode without networking.

Running 64bit home premium. I don't have this problem using x86 system with the same network permissions though I'm not able to add the updates to the slipstream as it says it needs to be in a 64 bit environment.
