SubscribeVista: Windows could not load device compatibility data
Posted on Nov 19, 2007 under Windows Vista Tips |You get an error when trying to install Windows Vista from a mapped network drive.
Windows could not load device compatibility data.
Error code: 0×00000002
This usually happens because the drive is not mapped correctly. Many admins will map the drive directly to the SOURCES folder. Instead, it must be mapped one level above the SOURCES folder.
For example, if the SOURCES folder was in a folder called FILES you would map the drive to the FILES folder, not the SOURCES folder.
