    That's a bit complicated. You have to add a boot option. Joshcellsoftwares has an AIO maker, but he hasn't updated it for win8.
    He could answer better than we could, but I'll venture that you need to add the boot to x64 recovery mode option, add another sources directory for x64 stuff not counting the install.wim, hack the x64 setup to use that directory for everything except install.wim, and change the autorun to point to the correct version of setup depending on the operating system you are running from.

    Basically its gonna be an ordeal for anyone who isn't good with boot environments or hacking setup.exe files.

    I could be mistaken on some of these things. I don't know exactly where josh got the info for his aio maker, or if he used other peoples' works.
    You would really be better off asking him.

    We meet again :rolleyes: I gave you a pass initially when you started posting on this forum because I thought you might be having an off day but I have come to see in your short stay here a pattern developed where the brunt of your posts are indecipherable but still carry a level of innuendo that has no place here ..

    Need help!! Can't create Win8 AIO. I've 9200.16384.120725-1247_ProWMC_HRM_CCSA_X86FRE_EN-US_DVD.iso and 9200.16384.120725-1247_ProWMC_HRM_CCSA_X64FRE_EN-US_DVD.iso, I've tried every step but it fails at

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

    I want the iso to Pro + ProWMC(x86 + x64 version) no enterprise. I also have en_windows_8_x86_dvd_915417.iso but don't have en_windows_8_x64_dvd_915440.iso. So it would be also helpful if someone uploads "9200.16384.120725-1247_ProWMC_HRM_CCSA_X64FRE_EN-US_DVD.iso -->en_windows_8_x64_dvd_915440.iso" deltas.

    Does this step:

    ... cause the attached error, when the setup get's started within Windows-8-Pro-WMC-x64 ?

    Is it possible to prevent this error, if I would extract the x64 into the win8 folder ?

    :confused:

    Edit:

    Thanks a lot btw. for the instructions. I was able to build the AIO with the following ISO's:

    - en_windows_8_x86_dvd_915417.iso
    - en_windows_8_x64_dvd_915440.iso
    - en_windows_8_enterprise_x86_dvd_917587.iso
    - en_windows_8_enterprise_x64_dvd_917522.iso

    You are right, that comes across very rudely. I did not mean to imply anything about Josh's hard work.
    I don't know what I meant at the time, but let me just say to Josh and everyone,
    I'm sorry. I did not intend to be offensive. I love Josh's work.:hug2:

    are you sure that you used the Dism /Export-Image command, as it looks like you have dublicated index's... start again and follow step by step, ensuring that you export and rename each image as stated...
