Today I received the beta invitation from Microsoft for Windows Home Server. I was able to download the DVD iso, but I could not find a way to directly install from the windows box; as none of the setup programs are available within the ISO files. Only option it is allowing is to reboot using the DVD. I made a DVD using Nero, and upon booting from the DVD, it was able to load the image and then I can see that the screen with “Setup is initializing…”… but suddenly in the middle, I get the “Windows Home Server Setup Error” dialog with the message “Could not initialize UI subsystem” ..up on clicking OK…it boots back to original OS ‘Vista Ultimate’ that I had on that system. It is bit annoy, not sure if it is because of the bad DVD or corrupted files. I may retry with another image |
I tried installing the windows home server with VMware just to be sure it does work… but It also showed the same error you got. I’m also not sure what the problem is, i’ll try to get a new image but I question the fact if that will help.
Burning the image with ImgBurn fixed the issue
Tried ImgBurn, didn’t help, same error…
