[SOLVED] Help install WimBoot in VMware BIOS mode

[SOLVED] It needs x64.
Edit: OMG, It's compatible with both x64 and x86!!!




I failed to manage VMware Firmware = "efi" following tutorials available, and I don't know about diskpart.

For ISO, could you please turn the following files to BIOS mode ? Thanks.

With Firmware = "bios", it failed in "W:\Windows\System32\bcdboot W:\windows".

startnet.cmd

Code:

@echo off

FOR %%a IN ( C: D: E: F: G: H: I: J: K: L: M: N: O: P: Q: R: S: T: U: V: W: X: Y: Z: ) DO @if exist %%a\bootmgr.efi set U_Drv=%%a

FOR %%a IN ( C: D: E: F: G: H: I: J: K: L: M: N: O: P: Q: R: S: T: U: V: W: X: Y: Z: ) DO @if exist %%a\windows\notepad.exe set W_Drv=%%a

Thanks.

Code:

usb_xhci:3.deviceType = "hub"
usb_xhci:3.port = "3"
usb_xhci:3.parent = "-1"
firmware = "efi"
tools.syncTime = "FALSE"

But it shows

 

It's 10.0.3 build-1895310

I've tried Murphy's way, and others to no avail.

So I tried to follow the script and manually installed in BIOS mode, and it worked.

C: = WimBoot System
D: = Install.wim
