Hello Kevin and Mike,
Does the media prompt you to install either 32-bit or 64-bit?
I haven't seen this previously but I have a suspicion after reading the
link.
The Action pack and some of the MSDN media that allows you to install
either 32-bit or 64-bit is using 32-bit setup.exe to install either platform
You are booting to a 32-bit WinPE in setup and running 32-bit setup.exe. I
wonder if that scenario is caused by attempting to load the 64-bit drivers
while in 32-bit setup.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
