Ok after some hazzle got the install.wim. Now for next problem: I'm running a sz61xn/c, and thats an EU version. The only drivers I can get from my "own" sony support site is a 120mb package and some smaller ones. Are those all I need? And are they in the right format, I mean when I get the smaller ones I get a neat 1 file package but when I unzip the zip file it's more or less 15 files / folder, ranging from text files to executables. VLITE seems to pick up a couple of these files / folder and puts them into the drivers section, do you think they'll work seeing as it doesn't load the other 14 files in that folder at all.

Thank you Mujja, you solved long time issue for me. Now I wish to do the same thing to my TZ-150N but do not know how can I get the drivers be install since most of the drivers in EXE type. any ideas.

Hunningolla,

Use the attached drivers. The zip file contains all the drivers you will need, import the whole folder into vLite.

I'm also in the EU, UK to be exact, and you don't need any specific drivers for the EU models.

Nice to hear a success story

Did all the steps work for you first time? Do I need to make any changes to the guide?

Qualia9,

Which step are you stuck on? If you give me the step number I'll see if I can help.

Mujja, is this an upgrade (from XP to Vista) or a full Vista installation. After running X13-49120.exe, it starts with upgrate setup.

Mujja: Ok thanks I'll take those then

sdh: Following the steps you should end up with an installation disc that installs a tweaked Vista from scratch. The X13-49120.exe you can terminate after launching it once it's created the Vista folder. Atleast thats what I did.

Yup, there's problems causing the ISO not to mount! That bows. I guess i'm going to have to download the iso from a torrent or something. i'd search for one, but does anybody know a good site for the torrent?!? If yeah, send it private to just me!

Thanks!
