    What I did was to mount the install.wim with DISM and make the changes to the internal copy.

    Hm, thank you.

    Will try this right away!

    Edit: Hm, I did try it but unfortunately I don't see how. How did you do it? Can you please give me a lil step-by-step tutorial after mounting the install.wim?

    Here are the steps on how to do it.

    Code:
    dism /Mount-Wim /Wim-File:D:\DVD\install.wim Index:5 /MountDir:D:\mount
    1. Go to D:\mount\Windows\system32\drivers\etc
    2. Replace the hosts file with your custom hosts
    Code:
    dism /Unmount-Wim /MountDir:D:\mount /commit
     
    Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...

    OR place it in this folder on your Install-DVD:

    $OEM$\$$\System32\Drivers\etc\HOSTS

    and it will be replaced during installation
