Once you have got your AIO complete with ProWMC ready, all you need to do is add the following EI.CFG to the sources. [Channel] Volume [VL] 1 This will give you the different editions that are active in your AIO. I have tested this an it works.
I made a Windows 8 AIO: Windows 8 windows 8 Pro Windows 8 VL Windows 8 Enterprise both x86/64. But after burning to a pendrive and starting it, it doesn´t show the word "VL" after Windows 8 Pro. It show me: Windows 8 Windows 8 Pro Windows 8 Pro Windows 8 Enterprise Why ? I tried both EI.CFG files: [Channel] Volume [VL] 1 [Channel] Retail [VL] 0 But in both it´s the same. Or instead of using the ISO of Windows 8 x86 to mount the AIO, I need to use the ISO of Windows 8 x86 VL ? thanks
But the problem isn´t only this. I added Windows 8 volume License (VL), but on the Window where I choice what OS to install, instead of showing: Windows 8 Pro Windows 8 Pro VL it shows only Windows 8 Pro Windows 8 Pro Why?
I created an AIO X86 only with the following: Windows 8 CORE Windows 8 Pro Windows 8 ProWMC Windows 8 Ent The displaying of the names is dictated in what you put in the following lines: as indicated in the Bolded examples below. Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:f:\win8aio\x86\install.wim /SourceIndex:2 /DestinationImageFile:f:\win8aio\win8\sources\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8" /compress:maximum Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:f:\win8aio\x86\install.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:f:\win8aio\win8\sources\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8 Pro" /compress:maximum Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:f:\win8aio\x86\install.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:f:\win8aio\win8\sources\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8 Pro with Media Center" /compress:maximum Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:f:\win8aio\entx86\install.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:f:\win8aio\win8\sources\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8 Enterprise" /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 /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c:\win8aio\entx64\install.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:c:\win8aio\win8\sources\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8 Enterprise" /compress:maximum
you have something wrong with creat. AIO have you team viewer ? best creation aio is windows aio maker professional not need this dism... and for create WMC is wind down integrator.
I made it right. I only changed the folders but at the end the ISO is okay, but it doens't shows VL. Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c:\WIN8AIO\WIN_8_86\sources\install.wim /SourceIndex:2 /DestinationImageFile:c:\WIN8AIO\WIN8\sources\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8" /compress:maximum Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c:\WIN8AIO\WIN_8_86\sources\install.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:c:\WIN8AIO\WIN8\sources\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8 Pro" /compress:maximum Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c:\WIN8AIO\WIN_8_86_VL\install.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:c:\WIN8AIO\WIN8\sources\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8 Pro VL" /compress:maximum Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c:\WIN8AIO\WIN_8_86_ENT\install.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:c:\WIN8AIO\WIN8\sources\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8 Enterprise" /compress:maximum Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c:\WIN8AIO\WIN_8_64\sources\install.wim /SourceIndex:2 /DestinationImageFile:c:\WIN8AIO\WIN8\sources\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8" /compress:maximum Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c:\WIN8AIO\WIN_8_64\sources\install.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:c:\WIN8AIO\WIN8\sources\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8 Pro" /compress:maximum Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c:\WIN8AIO\WIN_8_64_VL\install.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:c:\WIN8AIO\WIN8\sources\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8 Pro VL" /compress:maximum Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c:\WIN8AIO\WIN_8_64_ENT\install.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:c:\WIN8AIO\WIN8\sources\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8 Enterprise" /compress:maximum And when I check it using: Dism /Get-WIMInfo /WIMFile:C:\WIN8AIO\WIN8\sources\install.wim it shows the VL, but when I start installing the OS, it doesn´t show "Windows 8 Pro VL", only "Windos 8 Pro" twice, for x86 and x64. So, I don´t know which one is "VL" and which one isn´t. To use the VL, may I use the "Windows 8 x86 VL" folder instead the "Windows 8 x86" folder?
VL (volume license)... pt_windows_8_pro_vl_x86_dvd_918158 pt_windows_8_pro_vl_x64_dvd_922087 pt_windows_8_x86_dvd_915467 pt_windows_8_x64_dvd_915416 pt_windows_8_enterprise_x86_dvd_917681 pt_windows_8_enterprise_x64_dvd_917925 I´m integrating these versions of Windows 8. Two of them volume license...
delete this 2 wims pt_windows_8_x86_dvd_915467 pt_windows_8_x64_dvd_915416 and make aio only with this 4 ent 86 ent 64 pro 86 pro 64
yes delete this core both x86 and x64 so aio is win8 pro vl x86 win8 pro vl x64 win 8 ent x64 win8 ent x86
I too had this question, the original post does not make this clear. Would be a good idea to alter if possible to save lots of questions being asked! : )
Thank you, I appreciate that, as I was just about to post to say my attempts had failed. Let me try your ei.cfg to see if this works.
Hi again from Germany! Got two more questions: 1) Is it possible to integrate the german language pack into AiO? 2) how to activate W8 after installation of any AiO version? Thank you an best regards Peter
I was just wondering... In the Technet info, it says that Imagex is completely replaced with DISM in Windows 8. But "we" use a command like this in this thread (taken from the first post): imagex /flags "ProfessionalWMC" /info C:\win8aio\win8\sources\install.wim 3 "Windows 8 Pro with Media Center" "Windows 8 Pro with Media Center" Can this also be done with DISM, and if so, how? Thanks!
Hi An genuine iso of Windows 8 contains all the its editions? If so, there is a utility that modifies its iso allowing to choose which edition for the PC to install? Thanks Bye
