FACTORY.WIM and vLite? vLite accepts FACTORY.WIM, but installation fails Rate Topic:

I have a PC (Fujitsu-Siemens) with a preinstalled Windows Vista Home Premium x86 and 3 Recovery-DVDs that only format the whole harddisk and install all the trial-software crap with windows.

I managed to copy the FACTORY.WIM from my WinRe-partition to my system partion and mount it with ImageX from WAIK. vLite 1.2 beta accepted it and created an ISO (I changed nothing, to be on the safe side). I burned the iso with Nero 7.

But I can't properly install vista, because the vista setup states: "Windows cannot find necessary files. Errorcode: 0x800703E6" and failes. I read that it could be related to my DVD-Burner (TSST TS-H653B,firmware FS01), but I'm not sure about it. At least, this errorcode is the reason, why vista installation fails with Samsung SM-308B or SN-308B DVD drive. http://support.micro...kb/930984/en-us
(Samsung and Toshiba founded TSST).
Of course, FACTORY.WIM could be the reason, too.

Has somebody ever sucessfully managed to vlite a FACTORY.WIM?
