With a VM install, the windows setup ISO file (e.g. an untouched 17025 iso download) is mounted as a virtual drive which is used by the vm to create the installation on a virtual hard disk (VHD...

Another festive experiment might be to see if the 170xx firstly will run for you on your dx58so as a virtual machine on a 16299 host with Hyper-V, and with VMWare. If successful try to move it closer...

I see the no lights thing on one of my desktops, when I shut down windows to sleep from desktop - even though the PSU should supply power to USB, when the system is off, for wake states to wake on...

After the freeze, do you reboot to find setup rolling back, and then a normal restart, or can you get into your working 16299 straight away?

Just a question, Bordi - what browser are you using?

OK, I am still not clear what is happening. You tell me that the boot.wim is having problems with unmounting cleanly in #143. Before clearly knowing what is happening, I see in your last post

dism /get-mountedwiminfo

delete c:\mount

try the unmount cmdlet

dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:c:\mount /commit

Right, I've modified the Dism cmdlets for my J: drive (all yours are C:)
