    i'm already change the destination name and no luck...it's still give me error 87. only with this command "Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c:\win81aio\x86\install.wim /SourceIndex:2 /DestinationImageFile:c:\win81aio\win81\sources\ins tall.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8.1" /compress:maximum"

    Just a quick observation you have a space "ins tall.wim" within your command..

    I think it is related to a text copy bug, sometime blank spaces are added automaticly, because if you look in the screenshot from cardex88, there are no spaces in the prompt commands.

    I'm sorry man. The only other thing I can think of is that it somehow already has a "Windows 8.1" named image on the disc for the same architecture.
    You might want to try again using fresh sources.
    You can piece together an AIO using just export commands and copy/paste the install.wim
    The only tricky parts are the ProWMC flip and the iso creation.

    like coleoptere2007 said i've already give the screenshot on my previous post. maybe the space appear because of the copy text bug.

    Creating a new iso went well, upgrading worked without a hitch, cannot activate with my retail or WMC keys...

    If you install is WMC - Pro Retail will not work because it is for Pro. an WMC keys are one tine use... so
    insert the key then Phone Home. - then Activate then BckAct

    which one iso should i use, whether it win 8.1 core/pro.iso or using win 8.1 SL iso??

    cause i have no luck with the first command it always gives me error 87 (i'm using win 8.1 core/pro iso in this case).
    Code:
    Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c:\win81aio\x86\install.wim /SourceIndex:2 /DestinationImageFile:c:\win81aio\win81\sources\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8.1" /compress:maximum
    still waiting for the solutions...:D

    Instead of doing things manually with gimagex and manual file copies, try to make a cmd script with the exact mounting, servicing, and file copy routines and post it here.
    It's very difficult to tell you where you've gone wrong with single line entries like this.
    Obviously you should check all your sha-1 hashes on your msdn sources before you start integrating. Beyond that, we really need to know exactly what you are naming the indexes and exactly what commands you are using.
    My hunch is that you either have a corrupted source, using a command improperly, or are trying to stack two indexes with exactly the same index name.
    I.E. Pro and Pro VL have exactly the same index name, so you have to rename one.

    Am I correct that .NET is not auto installed in this 8.1 AIO and 8 AIO and 7 AIO found elsewhere on MDL? If so, is it because there isn't enough room on an SL DVD?
    Thanks

    i think that VL version only applies for Enterprise the other rest is retail channel. (CMIIMW)


    hello murphy78,

    i've solved my problems when creating the Win 8.1 AIO, thanks for pointing me out with sha-1 hashes. the first problem that i can think first. lol

    the cause of the error 87 because my iso sha-1 hasses is not same with the msdn so i've downloaded from the beginning. my error iso are both win 8.1

    core/pro 32bit & 64bit. a little thing that can messed up the whole process.

    For all Guys: For the Activation of "mediacenter (ProfessionalWMC) you must include a patched "Data.dat" thats containing an UNDERLAYING Activiation.

    And How can i get this nice File?

    1. Install Windows Pro
    2. Activate Your Copy/License
    3. Install the Mediacenter-Pack (and activate it)
    4. prepare a clean ProfessionalWMC from the PRO-Image (Guide is in the First Thread)

    5. After this you must copy the Data.dat (this File now contains an UNDERLAYING "WMC-activation") from C:\Windows\System32\spp\store\2.0\data.dat in to "<your ProfessionalWMC-Mountpount>"\Windows\System32\spp\store\2.0" and commit the changes.
    When you install this ProfessionalWMC, type your WMC-Key and all is done!

    Sorry if it has been mensiont before, but these are a lot of posts. I want to make an AIO but without enterprise. I just want x86, x86 pro, x86 with mc and x64, x64 pro, x64 with mc.

    I created four folders, win81, x86, x64 and mount. I did all steps except those for enerprise, but when I get to
    Code:
    Dism /mount-wim /wimfile:C:\win81aio\win81\sources\install.wim /index:7 /mountdir:C:\win81aio\mount
    I got an error. The ISO created, has x86, x86 pro, x86 with mc and x64, x64 pro, x64 without mc.

    Any sugestions please?

    For my point of view and with your infos there is no index 7 :) Try this command Dism /Get-ImageInfo and you'll see the informations.

    I tried with Index: 1 to 7, with no luck. Can someone please tell me how to do this without the enterprise versions?
