install hangs on selection screen

[lehuff]

Running the command to initialize the VM:

vmcloak init --win7 testbox --netmask 255.255.255.0 --ip 10.10.10.71 --gateway 10.10.10.1

Two lines of output are returned:

Warning: creating filesystem that does not conform to ISO-9660.
0%...10%...20%...30%...40%...50%...60%...70%...80%...90%...100%

No progress after that happens. When looking at the vm or using the --vm-visible command, the process seems to be hung during the Windows version selection screen. Any hints on how to deal with this? I can't find any documentation that says how to specify a windows version (other than x64).

I ran into that too myself. Quickfix would be to start it with --vm-visible as you did and select the version you want but there is a click utility that may be useful for this. I dont know if it's doable and I have yet to try it. As for the problem of selecting a specific version, I don't think it's yet possible to do so apart from win7, win7x64 and WinXP. Jurriaan may have a solution for this though.

I tried selecting the correct option with -vm-visible and nothing happened. Even tried stepping through the install with no real luck.

Which version of Windows are you installing @lehuff ?

[lehuff]

I was aiming to install Professional x86 from the screenshot. Screenshot was grabbed using -vm-visibile

[jbremer]

Yeah, sorry, at the moment only Windows 7 64-bit is supported (who uses 32-bit Windows 7 anyway?).
If somebody is interested to add support for 32-bit, though, that can be done by modifying the vmcloak/data/win7/autounattend.xml file, probably.

32-bit VM's are useful for small vm within a vm analyses boxes. VBox doesn't support 64-bit nested virtualization. :\

I feel an upcoming pull request! ;-)

This has been resolved, thanks to @lehuff, @danieltdt, and @razuz.
