I'm trying to use WIM2VHD according to the instructions on Scott Hanselman's blog post to create a Sysprepped VHD image to boot from. I've installed the WAIK, and I have my Windows 7 sources mounted as a virtual drive.

When I try to run WIM2VHD like this:

cscript WIM2VHD.wsf /wim:F:\sources\install.wim /sku:Ultimate /vhd:E:\WindowsSeven.vhd /size:30721

I get the following log:

You can resolve the problem by adding /classicmount:true to your command line.

cscript WIM2VHD.wsf /classicmount:true /wim:F:\sources\install.wim /sku:Ultimate /vhd:E:\WindowsSeven.vhd /size:30721

Please modify your command line like this:

cscript WIM2VHD.wsf /wim:F:\sources\install.wim /sku:Ultimate /vhd:E:\WindowsSeven.vhd /size:30721 /trace:true

and post the contents of the log file. That will hopefully help me figure out what's going on.
