Hello

I m installing vista from Daemon Tools from Windows XP SP1, When I run
setup.exe it gives error :


The application or DLL SPWIZENG.dll is not a valid windows image.
Please check this against your installation diskette.

This error is usually connected with using the image file in a virtual
drive. The usual fix cited is to burn to dvd. MS advises that a slow burn
speed prevents many file copy errors. They recommend 2x or 4x. If you do
not have a dvd drive this year is the year to get one. Vista is not the
only software likely to ship on dvd's only going forward.
