The Big Vista Beta 2 (build 5384.4) thread

[b-a-p]

I am running Vista Beta2 (build 5384.4) 32 bits.
daemon-tools_v4.03-x86.exe installation fail to load SPTD driver v1.24 and result in a reboot request loop. I`m download SPTDinst-v125-x86.exe, run it with 'add', reboot, then daemon-tools_v4.03-x86 installed fine, but can`t start - error "Initialization error. This program requires at least Windows 2000 with SPTD 1.24 or higher."
Any idea?

Unable to add adapter. Unable to open file in kernel mode.

I'm running Windows Vista Beta 2 (Build 5456)
the error occurs when I try to open DAEMON Tools v4.0.3 X86
anyone have any ideo on what I can do to fix this?

If you've just installed Vista a few days ago then one way is to just reinstall Vista. There's not much known yet about fixing Vista + DAEMON Tools problems. You can check to see if SPTD is installed (see if you are able to rename \Windows\system32\sptd.sys if it cannot be renamed then SPTD should be installed and working OK). Maybe you only thought SPTD was installed correctly.

Is Kernel Patch Protection the feature that prevents us from installing SPTD in Windows Vista? Or is it just incompatible?

Build 5536 was given to betatesters, anyone tried this?

[FnF]

I'm currently downloading that build, I hope this works on VMWare, otherwise it will take me longer to check if its working or not.

3.33 installs fine from an administrative command prompt on 5536 using msiexec /i daemon.msi
Remember make the exe always run as admin.

Didn't really try to get any newer builds working.

BTW, do customers have the 20 limit on moderated posts as well as everyone else? If so please consider lowering. Thanks.

I just tried build 5536 with the D-tools 4.0.3 and SPTD 1.25 (the current kit). Install on Vista 5536 says "This program is blocked due to compatibility issues...Daemon Tools is incompatible with this version of Windows."

There is a "Check for solutions online" button, but it never finished in any timely manner.

No, registered customers do not have any limitations (besides the board rules of course). Should work ok now for you without moderation.

"This program is blocked due to compatibility issues...Daemon Tools is incompatible with this version of Windows."

Damn, that sucks, does anyone know if they're working on a new version of SPTD? I read that Build 5536 is supposed to be the RC1 preview, and 5552 is gonna be the real RC1. It'd be a shame if Daemon Tools couldn't work in RC1 yet

[sfkilla23]

Same result with 5536

We will have to wait for the real RC1 to try latest DT.
Its around the same story than before with build 5536.
Latest 4.03HE is made incompatible from the start in this build. But has usual... v3.33 works always like a charm :wink:

We will see in September

[unMatChedProWess]

as usual... v3.33 works always like a charm

if it works like a charm why can't it mount any of the new image types? :wink:
and why are some games not supported?
Sorry, just felt like adding some humour, we're all waiting painfully for RC1

what type of images? as for games... this is for the protections... but 3.33 + third party softies is ok for me.
Starforce of course....:wink:
