install.wim not found error preventing windows 7 install

Post by bitchain »

Hi,

I am trying to install Windows 7 but get an error just after clicking the Install button. I have taken a screenshot of the error and posted it here:

Does anyone have any idea what this install.wim is and why it's causing an issue?

I burnt to DVD right from the ISO.

Cheers

Well, there are two things I have to point out.

1: The disc is probably corrupt, or it's been tempered with producing this error.

2: VB doen't support beta Operating Systems. There is too much that can change during the development and it is a pain to support every released build before a final release.
