Probably because everyone was testing to make sure it was 100% before putting their name on anything. Murphy backed out because it was jacked up. Also, if you just search for DISM you can learn how to mount and re-capture images. Yahoo is your friend.
I agree, but with people that already knew about DISM not having any luck it would have been like this.
H I wish him great luck, but I do not know how that could be possible, He is the King of The Frankenbuild he has done a good job with those.
If the new wim's posted at pcbeta are not corrupt then yes it is very easy then we all can do it lol. But.... those wim's not confirmed good yet.
I don't even think they are new...maybe just different links. Still same size...I know I am not going through that again.
Neither am I. It would have been nice to get a good wim right of the hop then we be all enjoying 8.1 right now.
Yeah, today was not much fun for me......On another note and way off topic, did you say you were in Germany? I lived in Heidelberg when I was a kid. That was really a long time ago!
All 3 indexes are corrupt, re-capturing just gets it to discard the bad files, hence the .NET issues since it's mostly .NET related files that are corrupt.
There is a really long thread on the Russian site about 8.1 activation, maybe they will work it out by time the iso hits the street.
