Install Missing Driver Vista Beta 2 x86

I downloaded the Vista Beta 2 (x86), am trying to install it and I get a
dialog box asking me to select a driver to be installed, when I press ok, I
get a message saying "No device drivers were found. Make sure that the
installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK.

I have no other options, I keep clicking ok and keep getting the same error
message.

Hello! It seems to me an external device is causing the prompting. Do you
already have your printer/webcam/any other USB device already plugged in but
maybe not installed? Have you checked to see if everything has installed
correctly via the Device manager? Pleas let me know, and I'll try to help
you some more.

Hello! I cannot get to the device manager to check anything, I am stuck in a
loop with the OK button. I do have a hauppage tv tuner card (I plan to
install media center) in this machine. I will remove the card and start the
installation once again.

I do want to do a clean install on this machine it had XP on it) but I never
got any prompts regarding partitions or how to install Vista, it just started
to install.

You are correct. Had same issue when installing to a VMWare image created
with Windows XP Professional. HOWEVER, the same iso image worked when
installed on another machine with the latest VMWare software ??

Hi,

I had exactly the same problem: turned out to be my USB mouse. After
unplugging it and starting over the missing driver problem disappeared.

Cheers,

Steven.
