Vista Beta 2 install on vmWare

[Guest]

Hi.

I'm trying to install the Beta 2 version on a vmware workstation.
I am using the downloaded iso file mounted as a cd-rom.

When clicking Install, i get an error message saying tha "Winsetup.dll" is
missing or corrupt.
Is it because I'm using vmWare, or is it something else?

I've downloaded the iso several times, to see if it was this thaty failed.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Have you tried burning it to a blank DVD then install in the VM you
configured for Vista? Also, how much RAM has been assigned to this VM, make
sure the minimum is at least 512 MBs, more recommended.

I've tried to burn the image. It works with a "normal" install (not vm). I
haven't checked the size of the aasigned RAM. Will check this. Thanks!

i got the same error message that you've said when using vmware.
i'm not sure if you've got round it yet but in case not i installed xp and
then ran vista install from inside that and it seems to work fine.

Got the same error in VM. Increasing virtual memory to 768 MB did the trick
for me.
