Default Re: no repository found, installation from iso on windows pa

Thank you. Extracting the files in windows indeed helped a bit further and the installer started.

Unfortunately, it got stuck after 3/6 steps of loading something or other because something was corrupted or missing.

Meanwhile, I found, it also works if I use the iso-image directly and enter as directory

/suse/openSUSE-11.1....iso

Then even the graphical installer starts! However, I'm still stuck at the point where it tries to "initialize package manager". This time the error is

"Unable to create repository
from URL "iso:/?iso=openSUSE.... ....
Details
Failed to mount /dev/sda2 on /var/adm/mount/AP_0x00...1
Mounting failed (mount /dev/sda2 already mounted on /var/adm/mount...."

I have to add that /dev/sda2 is my windows partition where I have placed the iso-image.

Does anyone have an idea what that means?
