the developement VM will look like this after boot

you will have about 280 MB of free space in X: and about 12 Gb free space in R:\

I plan to add a guide for installing stuff like dotnet, viclient asap

Your new setup-tool working fine... the developement VM creation working fine too! Great work

I don't understand why, but I already have pebuild310a.zip file on same folder of setup-tool and it doesn't detect it... the setup-tool wanted to download the file again but fail... says download manualy and cannot continue.

I've deleted the file and restart setup-tool to download the file again (as empty folder) and all working fine... but maybe something wrong with setup-tool?

Not a big deal! Wink

Oh... another thing: moa-plugin package saying moa24001 with moa24002.exe... maybe you want to change this too... specially on Windows/MOA load displaying MOA 2.4.001 instead of 002?

Asteriks - how should I handle this best ?

In the past I updated the moa.exe much more often then the plugins - I don't want to rewrite the plugins for every minor change of moa.exe ...

I think having version-numbers on moa.exe is a must-have.

I guess I will procede like with MOA 2.3 - major version changes come with consistent version numbers in boot-screen and moa.exe.
For minor version changes only version-number of moa.exe will change.

I'm having problems crating the moa with vmware converter iso

Its asking for windows sources then vmware converter source both of which i have but it seems not happy with. Can someone explain in more detail exactly what is being requested file wise?

Is there anywhere I can get a iso built already with these two? I don't miond doing it myself but I have a server to convert i've been having problems with and I just want to focus on the conversion rather than the tool for days -- but I'll do whatever is necessary if someone can spare the time to assist...

Thanks for the tools, was recommended by vmware tech support "off the record".

Scott - when asked for converter show the path to this file
VMware-converter-3.0.3-89816.exe
you can download that version from here

The tool also asks for your Windows-sources - if you have them on a CD just select the driveletter - if you have them extracted somewhere on your harddisk - point to the directory one level higher than the I386 dir.

What did the tool complained ?

Do they need to be the same version as the server I am cloning or are these files just used by the tool to convert the OS on the server?

Looks like my previous problem was a source file issue.
Thanks for your assistance...

Recommended sources are available here

Download them and either extract the img*file or mount it via daemon-tools.

Scott - the Windows-version of the LiveCD should be equal or newer than the version of the server you want to convert.

Anyway - MOA is optimized to use Windows 2003 Servicepack 2 - reference source is the 180 days trial version - linked above

Hi, I got what I thought was a successful iso build but when i choose start converter from menu is says Converter not found - starting plan b

Then I choose the path converter is in and it says converter.exe found -- then nothing happens and are given no options - then going to menu just causes same thing to happen over and over....

Any ideas? Doe someone just have an iso with vmconver on it Smile

Thanks,
Scott

I'd be happy to give you whatever info you need, but not sure what to say other than what I have provided.

I'd be happy to let you vnc (or similar) into my system to see what the error says and even ensure the iso is built properly...

Or, I could let you loo at a copy of my iso to see if it is built correctly. It seemed happy when I did it and said it did everything successfully?

Let me know which you prefer, I'm all ears and I appreciate your time.

Scott
inside the directory you created for building open a cmd-box and go to the subdirectory 'bartpe' run
dir /s *.* > filelist.txt

send that list to webmaster at sanbarrow dot com
I'll look into it
