Hello everybody! I followed step by step the tutorial and I used the same tools like in tutorial, but when I wanted to install OS in the virtual machine, at "setup is preparing" it`s says "install.wim does not exist". I have a small netbook and I want to install windows 7 on it. It has only 500MB memory. How can I do that, can you tell me? Thank you verry much.

I threw that laptop away and bought myself a new laptop

(gateway) 4gb ram, 250gb hdd, 15.4 screen, wifi b/g/n, AMD Athlon X2 Dual-Core QL-60 works like a charm

P.S. i tried the tutorial and it didn't work so i just got tired and got this one

Have a tut for Windows 8?. Quite weirdly, someone is asking me how to bypass the limit in Windows 8 with a 312mb system.

Hello Ken,

If that's all they have, then it would not be recommended to install Windows 8 on it. If it was even able to run on it, it would only run like snail anyways. Time for an upgrade.

I assume that's just their old PC, not their current one. Obviously because that would be too bizarre.

crap, man... my winsetup.dll doesn't have the string mentioned above.

I have the ALL-IN-ONE disk with both x32 & x64 stuff could this be the issue? anybody have a solution for me?

i am googling my butt off before i post this, but it seems as simple as pie, some people even report modifying a vista brand dll with success.

me - i crap out of luck over here, i am going to google some more before i post...

there is NO way of pinning a keyword set to this issue, there is too many floods of how to do what this very tutorial says, that number string is VERY popular.

Thank you all in advance as usual

-=UPDATE=-
I just downloaded a Windows 7 Ultimate x32 and SAME problem.
no matching string code of 77 07 3D 78 01.
MAN... what gives here?
anyone???

i even downloaded this file:
** REMOVED **

-=UPDATE #2=-
I just tried the link above and there is NO SUCH STRING in that file either.
man I am about to give UP!!!

a] google
