SSMS Enhanced dosfstools installation error

[gyro885]

Hi all,

I am trying to deploy SSMS Enhanced using the ISO in Hyper-V, the machine boots to the image, I customise the installation and being the installation, however it errors at the same point regardless if I use 6.1.0 or 6.2.0, has anyone experienced this or know how to resolve it?

I've just used the same media and settings onto a VM running within VMware Workstation and that is working. Must be something with Hyper-V, maybe the machine has to be a Generation 1 (I'll check now).

Yes, it needs to be a generation 1, I'm sure that is documented somewhere that I missed.
