wpeinit.exe error missing WDI.dll (do you really need drivers in a virtual enviornment?)

I have been testing Microsoft Deployment with SCCM inigration for about 3 weeks now. I just wanted to make note of a few things that i have discovered.

I had several issues untill i upgraded from VMWARE GSX to VMWARE Server 1.04 once doing this all of my previous error went away and instead i got a whole new set of errors.

I have been getting this error "wpeinit.exe error missing WDI.dll" for over 2 weeks now and just discovered today that the drivers for VMware where not needed to boot.

I removed all of the drivers from the Boot.win for WinPE (x86) and went with just a base boot.wim and my error is gone. And it booted without a WDI error.So if you are gettign this error try removing all of the driveres from your boot wim and see if the virtual system still boots Chris Stauffer <><
