Since I had no business this afternoon I tried it too. I'm pretty certain that all you have to do is change the "7" in lines 6 and 10 of the "Next step to convert to ProfessionalWMC" instructions to a "6" and it will work. I changed it to a "5" after getting the same error and it continued working but the order on the versions list of the .iso came out with the last two entries (Pro and Pro with Media Center) reversed. "3" is the place in order for Pro w/ Media Center (x86) on the list and "6" is the place for the same thing but x64.
Don't understand how you got an imagex error if you're running the rtm ADK (are you sure it was input on the command line correctly?). The only error I got was as explained above and, as I said, I was able to correct it by changing the "7" to a "6" for the correct position for Pro w/ Media Center in the menu (no line 7 would exist without Enterprise in the mix).
Can I use Adk for Windows 8 with Windows 8.1 to make this AIO or I have to use Adk for Windows 8.1 only? Thanks.
Only the latter, because an old ADK may have issues reading/writing by the newest revision of the WIM format.
I'm sorry, I didn't know about it. I downloaded the ADK for 8.1 RTM last night and will try with this now when when I go home.
I would erase the your old win81aio directory (including subdirectories) and re-create it before starting over, as I've had errors when attempting to re-do the image over the top of an old attempt. Also don't forget to change the "7" to a "6" on the proper commands as explained above (since you're leaving out Enterprise) or you'll get an error.
I think I used the same deployment kit for 7 and 8. Is that a problem? I need to DL and install the 8.1 deployment kit to make an 8.1 AIO?? Do I have to uninstall the previous deployment kit before installing the 8.1 deployment kit??? I don't think I noticed an uninstall feature. Thanks
I'd use the one for 8.1 preview or preferably the one for 8.1 rtm (link up a few posts). The old one can be uninstalled the usual way.
Glad you got it working! Yeah, I also noticed the size exceeded that of a regular DVDs (with Enterprise mine came out just slightly larger at 4.62gb). Oh well, I guess MS is moving up in the world. The dual layer discs seem to run from about $1.30 to $1.50/ea. vs. about $.30 to $.40 for regulars. Well now I have a bunch, but of course it's only money!
i've tried delete /destinationname : part. and it's still give me same error. Before : Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c:\win81aio\x86\install.wim /SourceIndex:2 /DestinationImageFile:c:\win81aio\win81\sources\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8.1" /compress:maximum After : Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c:\win81aio\x86\install.wim /SourceIndex:2 /DestinationImageFile:c:\win81aio\win81\sources\install.wim /compress:maximum why the error only occur in win 8.1 install.wim?
Open the DISM log file to find the related error, as your commands seem to be ok or try to change the destination name.
