how do you get the windows 8 adk to install in windows 7. my windows 8 crashed, but i had backups of the files needed and am trying to get my windows 8 wmc working again, but i cannot get the /export-image function to work in dism at all in windows 7, as it will only install 6.1.7600.16385 and no newer
i did, and it would not update past 6.1.7600.16385. i had to get the dism off the windows 8 disk located in the sources folder and replace the one in the deployment tools/amd64/dism, and then anything i do involving dism, i just make sure in the the root folder where the new one is updated to use 6.2.9200.16384, because if i run it from anywhere else, it runs the 6.1.7600.16385 version. its weird, but its a usable workaround that seems to have worked for me
Hello, I followed the procedure to make a prowmc manually but my official retail wmc key is not accepted after the last reboot . Then I tried with Windows Download Integrator to do the conversion and have the same problem with the key. I used an official msdn windows 8 pro x86 french iso after verifying the hash which was ok before making the conversion. Error code is 0xc004F061 meaning that it is only an upgrade key . I can not play with the data.dat as the installation in not done on the same hardware. So if someone has a solution or suggestions, I thank him. PS: ==> Problem Solved
Thanks for the answer but my key is not accepted when I enters it and computer is off the net, so I dont see how can I do even by phone activation.
Worked for me.. after a lot of trial and error, but I used my retail (Windows Activation Backup) data.dat and tokens.dat, after I'd installed WMC...But I used (the Vista Sp2 slipstream guide" and WAIK..) to recapture the Wim. But it kept dumping anything to do with Netframework 3.5. Finally I used Win Toolkit to Intergrate updates as much as possible and thru in all my req'd Drivers. And NF3.5 The iso came in at just under 5GB..thanks for the Guide View attachment 21942
Does anyone know if it's possible to add Win2k2 STD+DTC to the AIO? Edit: i tried it and it works well even slipped in DISM /Image:C:\Mount /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:Microsoft-Hyper-V /All /Source:x:\sources\sxs (although in the end my AIO wim ended up +4GB and can't fit on a Uefi fat32 stick)
@ambidav, I tried to make a w8 image with core,pro & prowmc only (both architectures), I ommited the 2 ENT related commands and replaced "index:7" with "index:6" in the wmc conversion. Code: AFAIK the indexes should be 1-core,2-pro,3-wmc (x86), 4-core,5-pro,6-wmc (x64). everything was good up until the last command looking like this. Code: imagex /flags "ProfessionalWMC" /info C:\win8aio\win8\sources\install.wim 6 "Windows 8 Pro with Media Center" "Windows 8 Pro with Media Center" I got a message saying Spoiler Image name "ProfessionalWMC" already exists in target file. what did I do wrong? Could anyone PM me with the exact commands needed for a file without ENTs?
Hi Guys, I'm having a problem creating this aio. I've tried it both manually, and by using the Windows Download Integrator program by Alphawaves, but the result is the same. When I try to install Pro WMC from the AIO, it gets to 100% then says that "Windows could not set the offline locale information 0x80000001" and fails to install. All my original win8 ISOs are legit, and I've tried googling it to no avail. Can anyone throw some light on it?
There is already a Install.wim with ProfessionalWMC located inside it. Delete the Install.wim. Since your using the flags option, I am not sure if it will work but you could attempt to change ProfessionalWMC to something else.
I haven't read over the method(s) shown here but this is how I make my AIO images (No updates, just all the versions (x32-x64 Core and Pro in a single WIM.) Lets say we are using Win 8 ISO that has Core/Pro for x86 amd x64 I would use the following command to export the x86/x64 install files to 1 WIM file. Code: Imagex /export "32.wim" 2 "install.wim" "Core (x32)" /compress maximum Imagex /export "64.wim" 2 "install.wim" "Core (x64)" /compress maximum Imagex /export "32.wim" 1 "install.wim" "Pro (x32)" /compress maximum Imagex /export "64.wim" 1 "install.wim" "Pro (x64)" /compress maximum The "1" and "2" in the lines above refrence to the xml file in the WIM. Code: Image Index: 1 ------------------- Name: Windows 8 Pro Description: Windows 8 Pro Flags: Professional Files: 81050 Folders: 17732 Expanded Size: 11951 MB Image Index: 2 ------------------- Name: Windows 8 Description: Windows 8 Flags: Core Files: 80376 Folders: 17610 Expanded Size: 11889 MB If you take the above code and put it in a batch file with imagex AND the install.wim files from a x32 & x64, renamed as 32.wim and 64.wim and run the code, you SHOULD get a AIO WIM that can be placed in the 32 bit install files of a Win 8 ISO
If anybody sucessfully created Windows 8 AIO 16 in 1 using MSDN ISOs ? If yes can you verify following checksums with your ISO.
