I tried to make a windows aio but it crashes every time with x86 versions, the error message is "Installation cannot continue because installation file is damaged" I saw on another forum someone else had the same problem. An idea ?
I tried to make an All-in-one dvd (windows 8 Core, Pro, ProWMC, Enterprise both x86 and x64) and I ended with only six options. The windows 8 Core x64 and ProWMC x64 options missing. I have no problem in doing an all-in-one dvd in x86 alone or in x64 alone...the problem is when i try to make a x86 and x64 combined dvd. Please help. Where could it be that I'm going wrong. ambidav or anyone your help would certainly be appreciated and welcomed. P.S. ambidav I tried to pm your but your box is full.
I used dism and imagex from within windows 8....So no windows AIK was really needed. I also used imagex.exe to run the necessary commands. I saw the syntax for the commands was slightly different for windows 8, but I sorted that out....mine was similar to TITO,s.
if you are in win 8 then I recommend you just use windows 8 dism at cmd and not imagex to create your aio as dism in win8 now has the export feature Code: Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c:\win8\sources\install.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:c:\install.wim /compress:maximum
I only used imagex to rename the the images. I used dism including the above command to do everything else. I don't know what might be causing the problem I mentioned.
I've already deleted the images but I can give the commands I used....That's why I wanted to pm you instead of holding this thread up with my problem.
Could you show us how you accomplished this (especially if you managed to include the Win 8 with Media Center in it)? Really appreciate the help!
Yes you can just use windows 8 cmd, Only reason for Deployment tools is to use if in windows 7 and to create the iso
What? I was thinking more around 7-8gb at least. Does it have anything to do with you using /compress:maximum? I have no idea what I'm talking about, I suppose you're compressing all install.wim's and relocating them in win8aio\win8\sources folder. If you are indeed compressing the .wim's, what would be the size of the final image using the lowest compression/no compression at all? And my final question! Compressing the .wim's could possibly lengthen the installation process? I'm very interested on making my own AIO image, but I want to know exactly what I'm getting before diving in.
