How are you running WindSLIC? I've observed some weirdness in how the EFI Shell passes the command line vs directly booting the binary. This may be VMware specific, or it may be common everywhere. If you run it from the shell, then the first argument is the binary path (like in a normal OS) but if you create a boot option for it, then the binary path is not passed at all - this means that everything is off by one. You can work around it by passing a fake first argument.
Sorry for late reply. I placed it using mountvol & then edit the BCD. Forgive my ignorance, but seems that I can't access EFI shell in a Gen 2 VM.
Hey Sebus, I've got a couple of snapshots on my test box. I'll have a look tonight and see if I can workout anything.

Update 1 then. Forgot that Win8.x also uses HV (I could never really understand the point of having it there at all)
Not really, sebus. It comes as part of KB2919355 which is not the official update as i understand... Edit: Code: MSDN/Technet offers the following file as update 1: mu_windows_8.1_windows_server_2012r2_windows_embedded_8.1industry_update_x64_4046913.zip This zip file contains: Windows8.1-KB2919355-x64.msu Windows8.1-KB2932046-x64.msu Windows8.1-KB2937592-x64.msu Windows8.1-KB2938439-x64.msu Windows8.1-KB2919442-x64.msu Windows8.1-KB2949621-v2-x64.msu So the official MSDN/Technet update includes only v6.3.9600.17031 KB2919355 contains: Windows8.1-KB2919355-x64.msu Windows8.1-KB2932046-x64.msu Windows8.1-KB2934018-x64.msu = v6.3.9600.17043 Windows8.1-KB2937592-x64.msu Windows8.1-KB2938439-x64.msu As newbie I can't post links, but see here: microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42334 Jack: Please note that this is my first post and I am not allowed to answer your PM. Anyway, nice to see my lesson helps Inge
