Nevermind! stupid oscdimg still forces joilet even with install.wim bigger than 2GB. This is a JOILET limitation. UDF must be used (-u2 switch)

Hi! I'm doing some experiments with imagex just to try understand how does this work and how I can benefit from it. The objective is to capture an image with all updates installed and with a few (~20, 30) programs installed. Step by step: 1) Create two VM machines and install an untouched Windows 7 in each. Let's call it A and B 2) On machine A install windows AIK and on windows B run sysprep, install all software and finish with sysprep shutdown + generalize 3) On machine A mount virtual hard drive of machine B, then capture it: Assumptions: -Machine B is now E:\ -Copied untouched W7 install CD to c:\imagex Command 1: imagex /COMPRESS fast /CHECK /VERIFY /CAPTURE E:\ C:\IMAGEX\sources\install.wim "WAIK1" "WAIK2DESC" Command 2: oscdimg.exe /b"c:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools\amd64\boot\etfsboot.com" /n /m /o /l"WAIKteste1" c:\IMAGEX c:\test1.iso 4) Try to install final test1.iso with captured image in a new, clean VM But I got an error that is: "Windows cannot open the required file D:\Sources\install.wim. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code: 0x80070026" --- What I've already done: - Searched for this error and for tips on search engines. - Tried to not use generalize option - Mixed up some imagex flags So, am I doing something wrong here? Any help is appreciated.

hello. it was happening on all programs, including notepad.exe I've fixed it. Since google wasn't returning any results i tried to disable everything on autorun. I think it was intel graphics. since i disabled a lot of programs on startup i could't found the specific program that causes this. Anyway. It's solved now. Thank you.

hello. I noticed that moving the cursur arround with arrowkeys have a huge delay. for example, i continually press "a" key and i get,without delays "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa". but it on that text I pres right arrow key for example the cursor moves slow and with a huge delay. even if i release the key the cursor continues moving. so i downloaded process explorer and i noticed that csrss.exe gets a high cpu load (20~35%) when this happening. But only with arrow keys, not with any other key. Since this keys are very usefull I want to fix this. I already googled a lot but withou any success. This windows xp sp3 with all updates was installed yesterday. Any ideas?

just wondering. why install SP1 and not SP2 directly? Edit: nevermind. SP2 needs SP1

Hello everyone. I've installed two Windows Live Messenger (14.0.8050.1202) on two completely different computers. I've patched both of them with apatch for WLM Wave 3. Patch went fine on both computers. Computer 1 is suffering with a strange case of missing messages. That person writes and the content is often never delivered to the other side. So, I copied msnmsgr.exe from computer 2 to computer 2. The problem continues. How can I solve this? Any idea?

thank you!

So.. SP1 Final it's here. 1)Splitstream is out of question What are the other options? I heard something about a update folder (update on-demand while installing?). Anyone knows anything?
