Would it be possible to install Pro with WMC and then edit the SPP folder and maybe some others + registry to make it Pro and then activate with Pro key? I got this far with replacing Pro + WMC SPP folder with the one from Pro: Windows activation said I have Pro, activating with KMS said "Activating Professional" but in the end activation failed. I think it checked some registry keys too. Winver said Pro with WMC.
Seems nice, shouöd try it soon as W8 is getting released.. Just waiting for Server 2012 RTM so i can make an AIO
Awesome guide buddy!!! Just made a Windows 8 x64 AIO (Core+Pro+ProWMC+Enterprise) using dism in 8; no more WAIK
Obviously... why not?? Code: Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:d:\win8\sources\install.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:d:\install_pro.wim /compress:maximum Dism /mount-wim /wimfile:d:\install_pro.wim /index:1 /mountdir:d:\mount Dism /Image:d:\mount /Get-TargetEditions Dism /Image:d:\mount /Set-Edition:ProfessionalWMC Dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:d:\mount /commit Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:d:\install_pro.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:d:\win8\sources\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8 Pro with Media Center" /compress:maximum Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:d:\install_ent.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:d:\win8\sources\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8 Enterprise" /compress:maximum install_ent.wim=Original Enterprise install.wim. You need to 'polish' the 4th index using GImageX as guided in the first post
Well, this is very interesting. So ProfessionalWMC is indeed an individual edition. Now I'm curious, we know purchasing WMC pack is cheap, hence the price will drop significantly while we end up with more features. Hmm. Really interesting. All it requires is an activated Pro.
I have make all in one windows 8 Core, Pro, ProWMC, Enterprise both x86 and x64 but when install enterprise EULA show is RC version, before I add EI.cfg with this parameters [Channel] Retail How to fix this problem?
I just did that, but found that it won't accept WMC upgrade key. Intalling it with the default retail key is okay, but what to use after? It seems that it won't activate any WMC upgrade key as they are for upgrade only.
Possible to post on how to make an all-in-one (x86 and x64) with the Media Center feature? I tried but the images were not in correct order nor were they all there. I used a method seen on this site followed by the instructions here but as said didn't come out quite right even though it worked perfectly for an aio without media center (can't post link--not qualified to do that yet). I've saw on betaarchive someone who claims to have accomplished this. Thank you!!!!!
Hi, i integrated media center in italian copy of windows 8 pro and i would to know if i registered with key of pro or key of media center. Media Center on installing automatically in same language of windows or i must to do something for select it? Thanks!
Hello. I follow the link from the first post to download Windows Automated Install Kit and extract ISO files. How do I install this? It is just a bunch of directories and no install or setup or any .exe file to run..?!?
