WAIK won't install


Caquin

Recommended Posts

I want to make a Windows Ultimate 64-bit CD. I've paid for a license from DigitalRiver and

the media has yet to arrive.

Anyway, I've installed Vlite. When I start it up it tells me I need to install the Waik first.

So I downloaded the WAIK. I tried clicked it to install, and all it is is a 1.35gb iso file. So disc creation programs start up, but nothing installs.

Can anyone help me with what is meant by "installing the WAIK"?

thanks but, I still don't know what to do.

I've installed vlite 1.2, then I downloaded the WAIK.

But I don't know what to do now. There aren't any tutorials anywhere.

Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong places.

Is this more about downloading WAIk and extracting to certain folders for Vlite, rather than

"installing" WAIK?

I finally figured it out.

Downloaded 1.1.6 build of vlite which contains the wimgapi.dll file.

Wimgapi is needed to run vlite build 1.2, yet 1.2 does not have it.

Then I uninstalled 1.1.6, installed 1.2 and placed the wimgapi file I obtained from 1.1.6 build

into the 1.2 build vlite folder.

Finally I ran vlite as administrator and vwala! it worked awesome.

I made a boot CD of Vista Ultimate 64-bit in about 10 min.

Great stuff.

yup this worked for me too. what i don't understand is why the need to download 1GB of iso just to get at 300KB file? used to be versions prior to 1.2 worked like a charm.
