Vista - Installation failed ( image-file not found ? )

Hi, need your help
i can not instal Vista :

after typing in the Key, a window with the following Text appears: ( German
Version, German Text )

"Die Windows-Abbilddatei konnte nicht geöffnet werden"

i think : " The Windows Imagefile couldn't open "

please Help !!!!

That indicates a dvd problem. Microsoft suggests you burn the dvd at as
slow a speed as your software allows. 2x or 4x. That does not solve all
dvd issues but it does solve most of them.

I get this error when installing using Virtual PC. It occurs after I enter
the registration keys?

I get this error after I enter the registration keys. It happened on 3
different builds but always using Virtual PC.

You cannot install from the dvd image using the virtual cd drive in VPC.
You can install by burning the image to disc and use the physical cd/dvd
drive.

I apologize for the multiple posts. The forum claims that the post failed but
not so.
Anyway, I appreciate the response. It sounds like you are saying the VC will
not work for an install with Vista Beta. I burned the iso image to a dvd and
installed with VC.

The multiple posts are the result of a bug in the web-based newsreader.
Consider using the newsreader in Vista Mail or OE on XP.

As long as you make a physical disc, Vista should install in VPC.
