Hi Everyone,
I was unable to install Longhorn 4011 due to error while installation under VirtualPC, VirtualBox and even under real machine.
Under Virtual PC, VirtualBox I was getting this error:


And under real machine, it broke my 1TB HDD file system. I was trying to install it under even already installed Windows XP SP3, and it gave me an error while copying files.

Did somebody install LH4011 successfully?

There is a problem with this builds PE.
For a fix see there, it is an easy fix.

What does it mean? How can I save it to *.iso? I can extract all this into a separate folder, and replace install.wim, but I don't know how to make bootable iso of longhorn's PE.

Just extract the .wim from 4011.
Open the 4008 .iso.
Insert the file.
Click on FILE -> SAVE.

In what program should I do all this?

Poweriso, magiciso, ultraiso.

Those programs are trials, so they can't save anything above 300mb (or it is a trial of several days), get one <insert favorite download site> to get the full version.
More I can't do.

Okay I'll try to do something, thank you!

But... You can see the old MCB here:

This won't work for me.
Any other PE also won't.
IDK,maybe my 4011 is very exlusive
But i install it from 3706 and it works

Rob Jansen, I made everything as you say, but now I'm getting this hard error:


What can I do for now?

Just do the SAME with the ISO, what Rob Jansen said, but use 4011 ISO from M1 server.
I'M TIRED SAYING THAT 4011 IS CORRUPTED ON BA FTP!

Well, but where to get 4011 ISO from M1 server?

Look in "Members Private Servers"

I can't install Longhorn 4011. I'm using VMware Player 4.0.1 build-528992.

If I simply extract 4011 install.wim and insert it into the 4008 iso (I use UltraISO), during the file copy it says: "An error occured while copying files". I downloaded the 4011 iso twice, so I think it is not corrupted (its size is 664,709,120 bytes). Moreover, 4015 setup worked by using this same method.

Then I tried Longhorn Packet 1.1 by Pwned ( viewtopic.php?t=14327 ), but I can't install neither 4008 nor 4011 nor 4015. For example, my steps for 4015 are:
1. I boot from CD
2. modules loaded -> I press a key
3. easy setup -> I press Y
4. format hard drive -> I press Y
5. computer should be rebooted -> I press a key
6. rebooting
7. I boot from CD
8. modules loaded -> I press a key
9. easy setup -> I press Y
10. format hard drive -> I press N
11. I click "Install Longhorn"
12. welcome -> product key -> license agreement -> installation destination (i tried both to format and not to format) -> computer name -> file copy
13. "Phase 1 of setup has completed. Your computer will restart in a moment to begin phase 2."
14. rebooting

At this point:
- if I boot again from CD, it will restart from phase 1
- if I boot from hard drive, it will say: "NTLDR is missing Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart" (clarification: the floppy drive is disconnected)

The same problem will occur if I choose not to use easy setup, and I partition and format the hard disk following the steps on Microsoft Collection Book: http://www.microsoftcollectionbook.com/ ... lldiskpart

In the end, I compared what had been copied into the hard drive between phase 1 and phase 2 (4015 setup) by using the Longhorn Packet and by normal setup, and I discovered that some files are missing!
