Any thoughts?

Does anyone else have this issue?

Does anyone else have this issue?

Yes, same issue with _Windows 11 Pro Insider Preview Build 22504.rsprerelease.211112-1650. As wmci is no longer supported on newer Windows 11 releases and has been removed, the installer should use a different approach to get logical disk information.

As a workaround, I compiled a c++-Program named wmci.exe and stored at C:\Windows\System32\wbem with the following content:

int main()
{
    std::cout << "Caption  FreeSpace    Size\n";
    std::cout << "C:       23770869760  63758659584\n";
}

After pressing Confirm in the dialog, the installer runs smoothly and the installation can be finished.

alternate option

Update: 20211230 not recommended

not recommended

only works with my version of windows 😔, as @hacba98 said this would only work on my version of windows

use this older "untested" copy of wmic that I copied from my new windows 10 box. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1yFU5rD3kMROAL_kY3Vd93GwRHWrfLCPw?usp=sharing please update here if it works.

hacba98 commented 2 years ago

I have tried the "untested" copy of wmic but the old version seems cannot be run on the windows 11 prebuilt. But the file from your repo works, thanks a lot for the fix!

wisehackermonkey commented 2 years ago

@hacba98 your welcome! Glad it could help out some!
