    Sorry for not releasing it, there was another problem. But I'm making lots of progress now so it will be there soon, but I'm not promissing anything

    Dutch, and a little bit of french (at least I passed my french exam)

    And I'll reupload tomorrow, but it isn't deleted from the server cause I can see it on my account on my mobile

    ok, just created a iso from the actual msdn .iso from the root directory of my windows install and it created a vol iso.

    then i did the same using the advanced option and added all of the .exe files, i.e. proplus, projpro, visio prem x86 & x64, and created a .iso with both x86 & x64 directories with proplus, projpro, and visio vol edition.

    ps. i only used english editions for this test.

    i experienced no issues in both tests.

    Hi i've been struggling with activating Office 2010. The problem is that i don't have the .WW folder and .en-(us,fr,etc.) folder (The file i have is a Self-Extracting .exe). I've been trying to convert the Retail to the VL version. What should I do?

    Just browse for the exe with the browse button, give an output file and click "start channel switching" should do the job.

    Well, that's the only problem that is left I think. It always runs fine when I debug using step into in vs (so it executes line per line and goes to the next line only when pressing f8). When it runs normal I also keep getting those errors, it just seems to run to fast sometimes, like if the app proceeds while the hdd hasn't finished yet moving/copying files. But I just don't know why.

    Code:
    For Each strDirectory_in_strDirectory_to_move_contents As String In System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories(strDirectory_to_move_contents)
                        arrDirectory_or_file_to_move = strDirectory_in_strDirectory_to_move_contents.Split("\")
                        If Not System.IO.Directory.Exists(strWorkingDirectory & "\Output installation files\x86\" & arrDirectory_or_file_to_move(UBound(arrDirectory_or_file_to_move))) Then
                            System.IO.Directory.Move(strDirectory_in_strDirectory_to_move_contents, strWorkingDirectory & "\Output installation files\x86\" & arrDirectory_or_file_to_move(UBound(arrDirectory_or_file_to_move)))
                        End If
    Next
    I have several of such a loops, and sometimes (= a lot on my pc) it moves a couple of directories and then the for next crashes, then it shows the kind of error you're having.

    Does anyone know why?

    EDIT: DON'T THINK ABOUT IT!!! It happens only with office and not with project or visio, so it must be a mustake in the code.

    EDIT 2: Ok I don't know... it failed 3 times in a row now, I left my pc for 15mins, tried again and tadaa: succes! With the same exe, so nothing changed.

    I dont know if it will help, but try putting the .exe office files and the channel switcher directly in the root drive of C: or where ever you have windows 7 installed.

    I did experience simular issues as above when trying to create an .iso from the desktop, so I put everything in the root drive and created it there with no issues...

    almost sounds like a page file/memory error. the processes most likely need a generous amount of memory enviroment to work in.

    Ok I'll monitor ram usage and try from C:\, but from C: will take up a lot of diskspace. Now it extracts all the installers, then create an iso (in worst case you now have up to 3 times the size of the original installers on your hdd). If it also first copies the files to C:\ then it will get up to 4 times as big. Yes I can move them and move them back, but I don't like doing that with user's files, you never know.

    EDIT: Oh you mean the workingdir in C:? I'll try if that works
