    So, one has to make an all x86 disc and an all x64 disc to use to make an all x86 and all x64 combined disc?
    I don't have enough HDD space to do this right now. I want to make an all x86 and x64 combined with WMC. I don't think I need N or KN versions.

    Quick question:

    Will this method allow me to generate a disc with multiple languages?

    For example, if I have Windows 8 Pro English x64 and x86 and Windows 8 Pro French x64 and x86 and I want to put them into an AIO disk, can I use this method?

    Thanks :)

    Hi! Halikus,
    Could you share or send me your created GUI base WinPE 4.0 if you don't mind?
    Thank you in advance.

    WMC is in the 8-Pro version on the 8 ISO.
    Is it also on the 7-Pro or Ultimate version on the 7 ISO so I could create a 7 AIO with WMC?
    Thanks

    WMC is a part of Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate & Enterprise.

    Can the free Media Center keys that Microsoft is giving out be used with this?

    How did you manage to fit it onto a DVD5, Overburn?

    mkd79, that was a modified guide that I made to allow the AIO to function as a Upgrade and Clean install disk. Yes if you want to upgrade the files I provided in the ZIP need to overwrite the original files.

    What serial does one have to use?

    Is there a way to add both PRO and WMC serials?

    @horizontal thinker: I believe I got that same error you got of pilot76103's .iso trying to run setup from within Power ISO but the error went away when I ran the setup directly from the DVD.

    There was no trick or anything in doing it. I followed everything to the letter and it fit. Here's what it looks like in Power ISO just before the burn.

    No, I was unable to get it to work. Said I had to do an upgrade, not clean install.

    Create folder on your c drive and name it win8aio

    Then create 4 subfolders inside win8aio folder and name them as follows: win8, x86, x64, mount.

    Next extract your windows 8 32bit iso to the win8 folder then move the install.wim from win8\sources to the x86 folder

    You will need EI.cfg and place file in sources folder C:\win8aio\win8\sources
    EI.cfg Will allow you to install any of the editions without having to enter a product key first

    extract your windows 8 64bit install.wim to the x64 folder

    Then open Deployment and imaging tools CMD as administrator and enter the following command 1 at a time

    Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c:\win8aio\x86\install.wim /SourceIndex:2 /DestinationImageFile:c:\win8aio\win8\sources\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8" /compress:maximum

    Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c:\win8aio\x86\install.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:c:\win8aio\win8\sources\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8 Pro" /compress:maximum

    Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c:\win8aio\x86\install.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:c:\win8aio\win8\sources\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8 Pro with Media Center" /compress:maximum

    Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c:\win8aio\x64\install.wim /SourceIndex:2 /DestinationImageFile:c:\win8aio\win8\sources\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8" /compress:maximum

    Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c:\win8aio\x64\install.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:c:\win8aio\win8\sources\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8 Pro" /compress:maximum

    Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c:\win8aio\x64\install.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:c:\win8aio\win8\sources\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8 Pro with Media Center" /compress:maximum

    Dism /mount-wim /wimfile:C:\win8aio\win8\sources\install.wim /index:3 /mountdir:C:\win8aio\mount

    Dism /Image:C:\win8aio\mount /Get-TargetEditions

    Dism /Image:C:\win8aio\mount /Set-Edition:professionalWMC

    Dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:C:\win8aio\mount /commit

    imagex /flags "ProfessionalWMC" /info C:\win8aio\win8\sources\install.wim 3 "Windows 8 Pro with Media Center" "Windows 8 Pro with Media Center"

    cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Deployment Tools\amd64\DISM

    cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Deployment Tools\x86\DISM

    Dism /mount-wim /wimfile:C:\win8aio\win8\sources\install.wim /index:7 /mountdir:C:\win8aio\mount

    Dism /Image:C:\win8aio\mount /Get-TargetEditions

    Dism /Image:C:\win8aio\mount /Set-Edition:professionalWMC

    Dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:C:\win8aio\mount /commit

    imagex /flags "ProfessionalWMC" /info C:\win8aio\win8\sources\install.wim 7 "Windows 8 Pro with Media Center " "Windows 8 Pro with Media Center"

    cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Deployment Tools\amd64\Oscdimg

    oscdimg -bC:\win8aio\win8\boot\etfsboot.com -h -u2 -m -lwin8_aio C:\win8aio\win8\ C:\win8aio.iso

    Are these correct step by step for Win 8, Win 8 Pro and Win 8 Pro WMC both come with 32 and 64 bit ?

    How can i make one for just 64 bit only for wins 8 pro with media center without 32 bit, without enterprise ?
