Question : Can you install Vista / windows 7 to winnt directory

does windows 7 / Vista support having windir/ target path set to winnt during installation? or does it have to be windows now.? I wouldn't have thought so but cannot find any Microsoft Articles to confirm this.

Answer : Can you install Vista / windows 7 to winnt directory

This is not possible as Windows 7 is actually an image. You can only choose the partition/disk to install to.
