    Make sure setup.exe from the "Boot.wim\index2\sources" folder matches the one in the "ISO/USB:\Sources" folder.

    i have the boot files of the win 10 and create x86 x64 folders and extract to them the win 7 x86 x64
    so i guess that you didnt understand me as the the setup run and i can choose 32 or 64 setup but i get the error when the win 7 setup start

    After the architecture selection the setup from both mentioned folders still need to match.

    Thats true only for setups that are launched using standard method. When you run setup from CMD or Winpeshl.ini this requirement is gone

    they match as i used original iso and also checked it to be sure -> Make sure setup.exe from the "Boot.wim\index2\sources" folder matches the one in the "ISO/USB:\Sources" folder.
    x86 Boot.wim\index2\sources\setup.exe = Sources\setup.exe
    x64 Boot.wim\index2\sources\setup.exe = Sources\setup.exe

    Can you check the build nrs of the setup.exe files?

    Then i would like to know:

    - why are you using win 10 boot files for booting win 7?
    - what win 10 boot files did you exactly use?
    - what exactly did you do when creating the ISO, step by step?

    if i remember i used MediaCreationTool10 to download the iso Windows 10 Pro x32 x64 which have this kind of boot x32 x64 deleted the x86 x64 folders and extract to them the win 7 x86 x64
    i want to create the same for Windows 7 Pro x32 x64 and Windows 8.1 Pro x32 x64
    and the boot files seems to work
    Bios -> Oscdimg -m -u2 -b"I:\Windows 8.1 Pro x32 x64\boot\etfsboot.com" "H:\Windows 8.1 Pro x32 x64" "I:\Windows 8.1 Pro x32 x64.iso"

    So, you created a x86/x64 ISO using the MCT and deleted the entire x64 and x86 folders and inserted the extracted win 7 x86 and x64 ISO instead?

    You only need to replace the existing win 10 x86 install.esd with the install.wim from the win 7 x86 ISO and the x64 install.esd with the install.wim from the Win 7 x64 ISO and it installs fine.

    as i say in my replys above

    i want to create the same for Windows 7 Pro x32 x64 and Windows 8.1 Pro x32 x64
    and
    the point with this method Dual Boot Setup you have one wim with x86 versions another one for x64
    this way they dont mix and much organized

    If you have an image file (esd/wim) which contains two different architectures (x86/x64) you must use an x86 ISO.
