Greetings, I was able to download the 3.2GB DVD iso of Windows Vista Beta 2. I was also able to install WPKG without any problems. The problem we all will have is with User Account Control (also know as Limited User Account LSU), as you know even the administrator account gets the dreaded UAC popup. When I tried to install 7-zip via wpkg, I got the error message "7-Zip requires elavation" :(
Here is what I did... HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System EnableLUA=1 <- I didn't change this EnableInstallerDetection=0 <- but I did change this from 1 to 0 Now I don't get the "7-Zip requires elavation" pop-up, but I couldn't install all the software at one time. For example in this test, I had chosen to install the following: 7-zip Notepad++ Putty OpenOffice v2.0.2 Firefox Thunderbird On the first install I got the 7-zip error restart WPKG again to install Firefox and Openoffice restart WPKG again to install Notepad++ and Putty restart WPKG again to install Thunderbird. I will try to disable UAC, uninstall all the software and reboot and see what happens, I will post the results when I get a chance. Thanks Paul BTW: On a limited PC this Beta is dog slow. Limited PC is a P3/933Mhz/256MB ram _______________________________________________ wpkg-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wpkg-users
