To get Vista RC1 to install
Hi,
It looks like you have a drive named "E:" but the disk type is "disk". You should change the disk type to be "cdrom-raw" if you want to use that. Sorry about that.
To get Vista RC1 to install, create a new LivePC, click on "Show generated VMX file", and add these lines to the end of the VMX file:
svga.maxWidth = "640"
svga.maxHeight = "480"
Also, unclick the "USB present" box and set the guest OS type to Vista.
Click Apply and then you should be able to install correctly.
You can find out more information here.
Let me know if you have any problems.

Please remove 'E:'
Hi Cancerbot,
(edit: actually the E: does work but you need the correct disk type, see John's message above... )
You're running into this because we misled you to put in the 'E:' in a previous post. After we put 'E:' in the 'edit configuration' form, we ran reproduce the same problem. Sorry about that.
If you could create a LivePC again and do NOT put in E: in the box, you should not see this problem after you install Vista.
Thank you for your continued support!
Thanks,
-Gerald

Hi Cancerbot,
Thank you for giving us such details it helps a lot.
Do you happen to know which beta version of Vista you tried to install? I'd like to try to reproduce this problem in-house.
Thank you for trying the LivePC Engine and I'm sorry about the inconvenience you ran into.
Thanks,
