I just downloaded win8 pro with wim files, I will try to use it with wmc iso and will report back I'm make the wmc iso with win8 pro wmc OS now
tiny stupid question, do i still need to use the ei.cfg using the data.bat that kelergo said or shoud i use it anyway
ei.cfg file and data.dat files do different functions... ei.cfg is responsible for allowing u to choose the edition... while the data.dat file is to be added so that windows accepts wmc key directly... so yes u need ei.cfg
well I got error while creating the optional section after I inserted: imagex /flags "ProfessionalWMC" /info C:\win8\wim\install.wim 1 "Windows 8 Pro with Media Center" "Windows 8 Pro with Media Center" Could not create image I think cause of Open directory or something like it. how to unmounts the image and redo all over again Please. Thank you for your patience mates
Every thread you mentioned the same line. What is it? what are you trying to tell us? If you could explain that would be nice.
Dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:C:\win8\mount /discard This command will unmounts the wim and then remaining things can be deleted normally by using delete option
I may help you there lol because I had the same problem ... after changing the directory from C: to D: and back to C: I found out that the Code written in the first post is wrapped, rewrite it in a bloc note and be sure it's one line and try again.. that's what I did and it worked for me ( especially if you use copy/past )
Hi! If i edit data.dat file in the iso, will it activate online or offline? Does the activation count matter, when using WMC upgrade keys?
Yes it will activate online and about count I am not sure but yes it should increade ur online activation count by 1... to avoid this backup ur activation
Maybe a stupid question ? When you make the Windows8 pro WMC iso, use the free email key, activate it and make a backup with Token manager. Can MS block the free key when you do a fresh instal after 31 januariand restore the activation,because of the online activation ? Best Regards
i ended up with a 648mb iso ?..lol im going to redo it as this seems way to small, any ideas were i went wrong??
