Here is how I get WinVBlock going from Windows 7 Setup:
- Boot Windows 7 Setup disc.
- Press any key to boot from CD or DVD... -> Start hitting F8 repeatedly.
- Windows is loading files...
- At the F8 menu, choose to Disable Driver Signature Enforcement
- At the first Install Windows window, click the Next button.
- Click the Repair your computer link.
- At the System Recovery Options window, click the Next > button.
- At the Re-image Your Computer warning window (if you see it), click the Cancel button.
- At the Re-image Your Computer window, click the Cancel button.
- At the System Recovery Options window, click the Command Prompt link.
- In the "DOS box" (CLI), change the working directory to your WinVBlock F6 floppy drive's root directory:
cd /d a:\
- Install the WinVBlock driver:
sc create WinVBlock type= kernel binPath= a:\wvblk32.sys
- Load the .INF file so the device is auto-installed:
drvload a:\winvblk.inf
- Start the driver:
net start winvblock
- Now WinVBlock is installed. You could attach an .ISO with:
winvblk -cmd attach -m c -u c:\some.iso
or a floppy disk image with:
winvblk -cmd attach -m f -u c:\some.vfd
or an HDD image with:
winvblk -cmd attach -m h -u c:\some.hdd
- You may return to Windows 7 Setup with:
x:\setup
- WinVBlk.cat
- WinVBlk.exe
- WinVBlk.Inf
- WVBlk32.sys
- sc.exe
- txtsetup.oem
