SPWIZENG.DLL is not a valid windows image

Hello,

Please i need help in installing windows vista Beta 2 .

I tried the following :

1- Setup from a DVD from windows i get this message :"The application or DLL
K:\Source\SPWIZENG.DLL is not a valid windows image. Please check this
against your installation diskette" then after pressing "OK" i get the
following message"The file 'autorun.dll" could not be loaded or is corrupt.
Setup cannot continue. Error code is [0xC1]"

2- Tried setup by booting the DVD, the setup starts, i add the serial number
provided by microsoft , then i get theat image file is corrupt.

3- Checked the CRC of the ISO file everything is fine.

4- tried to install using virtual DVD, same problem.

P.S: the vista beta ISO download size = 600,122KB when extracted = 3.12 GB

Thank you

yeah i am having the same errors as nads ive tried in DAEMON TOOLS and Nero
ImageDrive. In fact my attempts get the exact same results as nads, Setup
cannot read the image. The image is not a valid Windows image etc. God help us

and still nothing but that darn image error!

The weired thing is how could a compressed file extract without being fully
downloaded, i did a CRC check and everything is fine. Hope this Vista is good
as microsoft pretends :)

I too have the same problem, and i've tried everything mentioned, the DVD
doesn't seem to be bootable for some reason, and when i try to run it from
within XP Pro, i get the same error.

Same problem here... any word on a fix for this? Disappointing that I spent
an hour downloading 3 gigs of data and am getting the autorun.dll error.
It's intesting though, that I use it on a laptop with XP Home and get the
SPWIZENG.DLL and autorun.dll error but if I do it with a computer with XP Pro
I only get the autorun.dll error. I burned the DVD with Nero and am using
generic DVD's and generic DVD burner. Maybe it has to do with Nero? Anyone
else have any ideas?

Okay I'm redownlaoding I think i figured a fix. Alot of the time if you check
that the file is corrupt or anything most programs will say its fine BUT
redownloading the file will most likely help. Most times it's an incomplete
file or plai corrupt ISO.

It seems like it's an issue with the CD player not recognizing UDF. I've
tried it on two different computers and gotten different responses... Since
one is a laptop and the other is a desktop I can't just switch the CD Roms or
else I would.

It's interesting. On my desktop if I push the CD rom in it gives me the
error... but if I press the button to close it, it pulls up the install
screen... might just be a coincidence.

The laptop gives me both errors, but will pull up an install screen if I
boot from the CD. However, it doesn't let me get passed entering the key as
it says the Image file isn't valid.... this again leads me to believe that
it's the CD player. Good luck. Please post what you find.
