[Solved] Vista Installation Error

I am trying to install Vista Office on Ubuntu 9.04_64 (Jaunty). During the installation, it copies all of the files. Then it goes to expand. After about 5 minutes it returns the error:

"Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code: 0x80070017"

I have recreated the media, VM, etc.., several times. I have tried several tweaks to the settings. Unfortunately, I still dont know what the cause of the error is. Nor do I really know what I am doing.

Anyone have any guesses?

Create an ISO from the CD and try that.

This worked like a champ. Thank you. I would label this as [SOLVED].

I am now having other issues now that Vista is installed. However, they are due to the fact that this is the most complex and non-intuitive OS I have ever encountered. LOL!
