By the way, I thought language packs for Windows 8.1 were compatible with Windows 8.1 Update 1 Shame on Microsoft!
You cannot expect a past langs packs to be compatible with a future release and Update 1 substantially is just a regular updates packages
Sorry for not reading the whole thread. In the past, I've made a single ISO for all W7 SP1 Media Refresh versions, in Dutch and English in 64 and 32 bit. So now with the 8.1 update 1 being released, I wanted to make another one. I've already collected (as far as I know) all the data (all ISO's, LP's). My only question is, what is the right order to do this? If I read the first post, I first must create 2 AIO's, one with 32 bit, and one with 64 bit, then add a second language, and then merge the 2. Right? And are the LP's outdated now, since the new update? Or isn't that an issue? Is it also possible to include Volume License versions? My end goal is this: Language option at the beginning of the installation, and further a menu (as we know it) with the following choices: Code: Windows 8.1x86 Windows 8.1 Professionalx86 Windows 8.1 Professional with Media Centerx86 Windows 8.1 Professional (Volume License)x86 Windows 8.1 Enterprisex86 Windows 8.1x64 Windows 8.1 Professionalx64 Windows 8.1 Professional with Media Centerx64 Windows 8.1 Professional (Volume License)x64 Windows 8.1 Enterprisex64 Volume License is optional, but also slightly offtopic. I think you'll get my point . Thanks in advance!
You cannot have 2 images with the same EditionID, architecture, and Name, so when you export Pro VL, you need to either rename the normal "Windows 8.1 Pro" first, or rename the VL index first. (What I mean is don't try to export both of them directly from their iso files because it will fail) You don't have to specify different architectures, but it helps on an AIO with x64 and x86 combined.
Updated the script for Windows 8.1 Update ISOs and moved the old RTM/GA one to 2nd post (maybe i'll update it as well later) now with the new script, you only need to set only 1 Mandatory variable, and 4 other can be set or left as-is. architecture, LP files, LP codes will be detected automatically (see Remarks / Notes) any feedback / bug report are welcomed.
Do I understand it correctly that you can create a multilanguage iso of windows 8.1 update 1? Is also possible to have a multilanguage iso with multiple editions? like 32bit, 64bit enterprise etc all in one.
Your work is truly great! As I deal with so many ISO images in multiple languages on my TB portable I recovered more than 50 GB in space! Thanks, thanks, thanks so much indeed! P.S. Could you ever consider to do the same job you did for Windows 8.1 Update 1 and Windows 7 for Windows Server 2012 R2 Update 1? Thanks more if you will ever consider this!
- Updated the script package to reflect/use the new Refresh Lanuage Packs - Unified the script to support both Windows 8.1 releases: RTM or Update - The supplementary LIP updates are now merely optional they are required only if you want to have fully updated WinPE files for "Windows 8.1 Update" distribution - NET35 variable is removed if you want to enable the package, simply download and put dotNetFx35_W8.1_x86_x64.exe file next to the script - DEFAULTTIMEZONE variable is removed the default time zone will follow default language no matter what - Enhanced the way of using DVDPATH a little bit now you can place one iso file next to the script and it will be detected and used (if the name is spaceless) you still have the basic way by setting DVDPATH variable manually (to use iso, folder, dvd/usb drive)
Yes, but that won't be practical because you will get most of the integrated update to re-show in WU as long as Aio only have one architecture (x64 or x86, not both)
