To PaPeuser:

Hey I do not understand why you download some scripts and not others. If I had a problem downloading the first time,, usually they downloaded the second time ok,

My thoughts exactly.Second time download came up with similar results.

Antivirus? Firewall?

Yes AVG Internet Security, disabled and tried, but same results.

When you run download and it fails first time ,, select only one or two files and repeat download,

Unchecked everything but the Tools folder. The first error came up while downloading 72.dll.


TO allanf

I'm trying from my home, finisahed school about 15 years ago and haven't stepped into a library since .

What is the nature of the files that are successfully downloaded? Is the list small enough to post?

The Addons and Accessories folders under Vista Core are the one's that aren't downloaded. Attaching the log, hopefully it will help.

Free space on the HardDrive?

HDD free space is 30GB. That should be enough shouldn't it?

I've tried everything except setting up Vista afresh and then running WinBuilder. Noty too keen on doing t5his as I went through it 0only last week.

Tring to make a multiboot DVD with XP, Vista, VistaPe, LiveXP etc. but not being able to. Till the time this happens, I have to painfully reinstall every application that I use.

Overall, the log doesn't look too bad.

Two possible problems:

The Source Directory (in the Sources Tab) appears to be pointing to the Winbuilder Base Directory. The contents of the Vista Install DVD should be copied to a Directory on the HDD, and the Source Directory should point to that. There needs to be a %SourceDir%\sources\boot.wim, install.wim. Without this, it looks like VistaPE switches to the WAIK as it's Source, which may be OK for the scripts that do not require the Install DVD.

The second thing that may be a problem is the script that causes the errror. It may be corrupt as PaPeuser suggests. It may also be a problem extracting the encoded system.7z file. Once extracted (detached) from the script, it then needs to be extracted (unzipped) using 7zip. Make sure that there are the 7zip files in the Tools Directory. I don't remeber exactly which versions or which files are required - the cmd-line 7z.exe and a dll or two?

Regards

Hopefully if she tries a download again she will get a more complete one!!

I vaguely remember having a similar problem some time back. Can't remebre the exact cause or the solution tho'. Hmmm... there was a nirsoft file in system32.7z that my Norton antivirus didn't like.... ...

The other thing I did was manually download the 7zip files, and put them in the tools directory because I needed updated versions for another script I was working on. The OP could try that, and would probably need the other tools if they're missing as well.

BTW, the Sources Directory appears to be '<Winbuilder Base>\Source' but no '<Winbuilder Base>\Source\sources\...wim files'.

Yes, I used the Tools and Vista Core folders you had uploaded and clicked Play to compile it. Then I mounted it as a CD/DVD and started the virtual box machine., I got the following error:



Also, the final ISO that was created was only 39MB, isn't this kinda too small for Vista?

What can Id o to ensure that I am able to run WinBuilder properly and create a personalized VistaPE?

Do you know of a finalized that I could download and use?
