vista beta 2 install vmware

Hi.
I'm trying to install the Beta 2 version on a vmware workstation. I am using the downloaded iso file mounted as a cd-rom.
When clicking Install, i get an error message saying tha "Winsetup.dll" is missing or corrupt. Is it because I'm using vmWare, or is it something else?
I've downloaded the iso several times, to see if it was this thaty failed.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Have you tried burning it to a blank DVD then install in the VM you configured for Vista? Also, how much RAM has been assigned to this VM, make sure the minimum is at least 512 MBs, more recommended. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

I've tried to burn the image. It works with a "normal" install (not vm). I haven't checked the size of the aasigned RAM. Will check this. Thanks!

Got the same error in VM. Increasing virtual memory to 768 MB did the trick for me. -- Heloise
