modder.vbs not working correctly?

[rossonomous]

Hi, 

 

When I run modder.vbs, it almost instantly shuts my VM down with no feedback or anything. After booting back up, none of the files in System32 such as 'unzip' and 'notepad' have been created. With this in mind, I imagine that it's not doing any of the changes that it is supposed to do. 

 

Any ideas as to why this would be happening? 

 

As I mentioned, the file executes and performs the shutdown, but nothing seems to change on my system. 

Thanks

 

edit: a couple of points that may help

- I'm using Win8.1 Pro, and this is not a brand new OS (this isn't a viable option for me)

- 64bit of course

- Every step prior to this one seems to have worked fine

- I have been running commands from administrator CMD

 

EDIT2: When opening an image file, I got the error "this app can't be activated when UAC is disabled". This tells me that maybe parts of the modder.vbs have worked.

Also, at this point

 

Windows 8.x / 2008 / 2012: Open a CMD window and type 'dism.exe /online /enable-feature /all /featurename:NetFX3 /Source:x:sourcessxs' (less the outside quotes), and tap the 'Enter' key. 

 

I presumed the 'source' was my C drive? I'm using C instead of your D

Make SURE your OS is capable of running the .vbs file. Windows 8 should do this out of the box. In lieu of running the .vbs file; manually execute each command in the .vbs file for your OS, and the architecture used.

Follow the tutorial. whatever your Windows OS media drive is, will be x

 

Windows 8.x / 2008 / 2012: The original OS media CD/DVD is now required to be inserted into the CD/DVD-Player.

 

In lieu of a Windows OS CD; if you have access to an ISO, or possibly the CD/DVD; just transfer the sourcessxs folder to wherever, and point x to that location. You could also just mount the ISO and point the x to that drive letter.
