Hi SI, I didn't forget about you, It's just this is the first time I've ever done this and all the steps are new to me.
I'm going to try and break this down as to how I had to accomplish this task and I'll answer your questions first. This will undoubtedly be a long post.
Okay!
My timing wasn't right with yours and I upgraded to the 7z929alpha version before I realized you had already created SIW2R7V3 and by the time I had that copacetic you had already pushed out V4.
So for the rest of this telling I am dealing with your SIW2R7v4 and 7z929alpha.
Can you check your installed macrium v4 does
not have a file called PrimoBurner.DLL ?
I have checked and neither mac.v4 and mac.v5 contain PrimoBurner.dll.
I was sure you had at least one more question for me, but I can't locate it.
What happened to v2? You seemed to go from SIW2R7 to SIW2R7v3 to SIW2R7v4. No matter, moot point.
----------------------
Even with 929 I kept having the same result where I had 0Kb so I looked at your first attachment in your OP where you show the 7z settings you used to extract the .zip file, I was using the 7z defaults when I made those earlier extractions.
I made changes to make sure that the; extract to (SIW2R7v4), Path mode (Full Path Names), Overwrite mode (Ask Before Overwrite) that you had showing were the same, and the .zip file you attached created SIW2R7v4 in C:\
But I had one more step. I had to extract that file into that same Folder (SIW2R7v4), and this was the result
From there I ran x64 runme, then said no to the .iso. ran the x86 when asked to run .iso said Y.
This is what the end result looked like on my C:\
Using ImgBurn I wanted to write the ISO Folder to the disk, but it wouldn't set-up so I used the EASYPE_MULIT.iso file. This is the result after the ImgBurn.
If everything looks okay to you and if not, I can show more files from that .iso conversion. SI, please correct me if I am wrong, and Greg, you can pitch in here if you want I don't think SI would mind.
From here I need to re-start my machine and enter my bios (F8).
Reset my boot order to DVD-CD as first choice.
Then shut back down.
With the new repair CD-R in my D:\ drive, restart my machine, and.
I should see this:
From there I should be able to repair my OS (Not that I need to, but this is a handy tool to have) And, I am hoping that I can check to see if there are any incorrect files that reside on our machine and repair or replace them.
By the time you see your note in your email about my post I will in all probability try this to ascertain what will happen when I boot with this disk. I won't be making any changes, I just want to see if it works.
But not right now, it's late here, and I'm tired it's been a long day.
EDIT:
I meant to put this ImgBurn log in, in case it shows any problems.
