    I have one more question for you guys. I now have the N versions of Windows 8 (+Enterprise), extracted the install.wim to their respective directories (x86n, x64n, entx86n, entx64n) and was wondering if the SourceIndex for these are 1 or 2?

    Thanks for all the contributors to this thread. I now created a 8-in-1 Win8 image, only not sure about the EI.cfg. Is it possible to have one so I could install Win8 either as Pro WMC, but could the same disk be also used to install Enterprise? Or that is not possible on the same image? Thanks.

    I created an W8 AIO WMC iso by following the firts post, and swapped the "data.dat" twice when making that iso, as instructed. So can I use this iso to install W8 with WMC in the future? Or should I instead opt for W8 pro install, enter a MAK key, then manually upgrade to wlc with my own wlc key? Thanks

    I'm just glad I created a system image after I installed WMC because this looks to be a PITA.

    Hello from Germany!

    any1 around to help me out with the correct EI.CFG file for the AiO WMC ISO?
    All download links has been removed... :-(

    I need it to complete the job...

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Next you will need EI.cfg Here 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

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Ty and best regards

    Peter

    Hey James T. 100 ... ;-)

    thank you for this fast answer!
    I create a txt file with the content you post here...
    and rename it to EI.cfg..

    Is this correct?


    Have fun,

    Peter
