Customize installation ESXi with a copy of file post install?

Is it possible to change the ESXi 4.1 installation to perform a post install file copy?  I wish I had some ISO files copied from the installation for datastore1 (local storage) once the installation DVD.

  • Why whs 2011 installation gets stuck to copy Windows files on the HARD drive?

    I try to install WHS 2011 OEM on a HP EX470 software.  I have tried about 30 times without supervision and welfare facilities in the past 4 months and am very frustrated that I can't succeed and purchase the software was a waste of time and money.  I tried 4 hard drives, properly formatted capacity of 250 GB to 2 TB.  EX470 has the original 1620 AMD processor and 2 GB RAM upgraded and qualifies for the upgrade to a 64-bit system.

    Problem with installation assistance tries: Installation says "Copying Windows files", but after a variable time in hours of waiting, growth remains at 0% and finally says "error in installation.  Try to restart the installation.  Same thing happens with the help of the DVD, or by using a Sandisk Cruser formatted and made bootable 16 GB flash drive with a file cfg.ini the instructions online and also tried without the cfg.ini file.
    Problem with unattended installation attempts:  Process completely blind.  Does not install even if left for 24 hours.  Cannot decipher the flashing lights on the Flash drive and thereafter, no installation nor evidence of partial installation is visible on check the hard drive on another computer.  I suppose that the same thing as the installation attempts assisted.
    Looked for solutions online for 4 months, but nobody does the problem of Windows not to copy the files to the HARD disk during installation and what goes wrong.

  • How do I open the .snp with Microsoft Office 2007 files is installed? It works with MS Office 2003, but not with MS Office 2007!

    I have MS Office Pro Plus 2007 is installed on my computer. I also MS Office 2003 is installed on a different computer. Snapshot viewer is installed on both. My snapshot of work files works with MS Office Access 2003 but not recognized by MS Office Access 2007. It would allow me to save them either! Is this a problem with FireFox (3.6.8)? However, I have no problem, open them using IE7/8 on both computers. Any ideas? Thank you.

    I heard about other problems with Office 2007 to 2003, but most of the people do not have Pro/business versions with access, so maybe there's a previously unnoticed problem.

    As indicated in my previous post, I don't always understand how you try to access the file. Can you right click and "save link as" to download?

    You must upgrade to a newer version than the Firefox 4 with the included information in your question that you are using.

    Not related to your question, but...

    You may need to update some plug-ins. Check your plug-ins and update if necessary:

  • Why can't I managed to install the iso file in my USB? I've tried different usb and hard drives and disassembled a lot or time usb but when, it comes up with an error copying the files on and it stops loading? What should I do?

    Why am I unable to download and copy iso files that need to go into the USB drive, it always comes up with an error when copying the installation files and none of the solutions have worked (some of the things I've tried are different from the USB, disassemble and repeat the download process windows files)

    You cannot use a simple USB as a source and destination. You must copy the ISO file (it's a single file, not the full installer) in your Documents folder and then run BCA to create a USB installation program. 2015 macs do not create a USB installation program.

  • I get an error "Setup cannot copy the file els.dll" during the installation of Service Pack 3.

    The installation fails every time with this error. I can see and select the file in the temp folder, but it won't work. Any help would be appreciated. '

    Original title: 'Setup cannot copy the file els.dll' during the upgrade to Windows XP SP2 to SP3.

    In fact, I corrected it an hour ago and was meaning that close the message. I cleaned with CCleaner temporary files, downloaded the SP3 Installer on its own (no windows update) and disabled the antivirus. I was able to complete the installation.

    Thanks for the reply!

  • Copy the files from ESXi vmware.log

    All,

    Need a bit of help here. We were asked to keep the vmware*.log files in the folder of each VM. Using the viToolkitExtensions, I can get the files in each directory, but I can't get copied off in my server Windows so that they can be saved. It has been suggested that I use TkeDatastoreFile copy, but I ran into a wall, make it work. Here's what I have so far, once connected to the VC.

    $x = get-VM VMNAME | Get - views | % {$_.config.files.vmpathname}

    $y = $x Extract-TkeDatastorePathElements

    $z = get-datastore $y.datastore | Get-tkedatastorefile | where {$_ .path - like "vmwareJournal"}

    I can now browse each journal found in the folder, but I can't get copy-tkeDatastoreFile work to copy each file to a destination on the Server Windows where the script will run, for example D:\Data\logs. Any ideas on how I finish that?

    Gary

    Here's a transcript of a session that has worked for me. I added - noSize - noType and - noModification to Get TkeDatastoreFile because it speeds up things a bit.

  • Computer does not restart during the installation of XP after copying files

    I do a new install of Windows XP on an ASUS laptop A3G of 2005.

    After that he said that the CD has finished copying the files, I've been waiting so he could restart.  Restart the computer, but the screen shows only a blinking white line.  Nothing happened after that so I restarted the computer and the installation process went through again but I found myself stuck in the same exact spot.
    The CMOS battery is broken, so that could be the problem.  Put that side how can I remedy this?

    Without the CMOS battery, youre pc will not work correctly.

    The only function of the CMOS battery is to power the BIOS...

    How do slove this problem please to continue to work with my PC?
    Thanks in advance!

    You should not use these programs, but if you want a USB key to install then you should make an ISO file and then using Unebootin according to me this is a best software to USB for xp and if you have windows 7 installed in one of your system, then you can use tool usb windows 7.

  • What does it mean when windows 7 can't copy the files required for installation?

    I tried to install windows 7 on my Dell.I have xp on it, but when I run the first step of copying the files it stops to 60% and says "windows cannot copy files required for installation. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. How can error code 0 x 80070001"I fix?

    bastyav,
    We use the exact and some error message in more detail on the issue.  This problem occurs with any file on the disk or only some of them?  You are logged as administrator?  Has anything changed recently (hardware or software)?

    The first thing I would say to run a Virus scan and malware.  If you do not have an antivirus program, then you can get one here: http://www.microsoft.com/Security_essentials/

    If there are no problems found then not try the following steps:
    Run the following commands.
