Vista - I've tried everything on these discussions. Please help.

I've tried several different software programs for burning, and mounting.
I've tried extracting the files from the ISO image. Nothin is working. I keep
getting an error, saying that the setupe.exe and autorun are not valid
Windows images. I've downloaded the ISO several times directly from
Microsoft. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Try in this order:

1. Get ImgBurn and burn the image to dvd+rw or -rw (get new different brand
disc to be sure it's not the disc) or waste a regular dvd. Now reboot and
set bios to boot from dvd/cd drive. What it says?

2. If it still gives errors after booting computer from the dvd then google
for 5384.4 torrent and download with bittorrent. This will take much longer
than normal download but will guarantee that the image is OK. Now ImgBurn
again and reboot from dvd.. If it still gives same errors then there is
problem with the hardware or bios settings and the data is corrupted either
on the way from/to dvd or hdd OR the memory is bad (or ... or ...)

Let me get this right. You're actually advocating that someone downloads an
(illegal) copy of Vista from a BitTorrent site? Hmm, I wonder what Microsoft
would have to say about this...

I got install errors also until I burned the DVD at the SLOWEST possible
speed. I tried the install from a DVD I burned at 8X and it would not work,
then I used one burned from the same download at 2X and it went perfectly.

Are you trying to run the X64 executables in an 32-bit Windows? That
will generate that error.

I am having the same problem. I am stumped. I have burned ISO to disk
before, and it is USUALLY straight forward. I have used NERO, and Alcohol
120%. I download the image file twice. The file is the correct size, but
when I burn the disc, only the readme file is visible yet there is 3 gigs of
space used on the disc. It

I don't know if this could possibly have anything to do with this, but if
certain services were disabled using the admin tools, if that could be the
cause of why the OS doesn't seem to be able to read the UDP format that is
being used on the DVD image. A while back, in order to improve system
performance, I shut down extra services that weren't supposidly needed
according to some techy web sites. Did anyone else that is still getting the
"This disc contains a "UDF" file system and requires an operating system
that supports the ISO-13346 "UDF" file system specification." ever disable
extra services ? I am just looking to see if there is a common factor to try
and figure this thing out. Thanks folks.

In your case I'd burn the image with ImgBurn and boot the computer from DVD.

And yeah, those web sites suggesting to shut down this and that service are
guaranteed to not know what they are talking about. They don't have a
million testers with ton of apps or the experience of MS to tell what side
effects there are to doing so. With so little details I can't comment on why
the UDF disc doesn't show up normally. If I had to pick a guess, Nero/Game
DRM/Alcohol/antivirus/takeyourpick has changed something what they shouldn't
have. Not very unusual - most 3rd party developers don't have the million
testers either that MS has but they change OS settings at their whim.
