Creating a Windows 8.1 AIO with Media Center manually

I was doing the whole thing under win 7. I installed win 8.1, did everything again and everything went OK!! I dont know if it was win 7, I dont know if I was getting something else wrong, the thing is that now it is ok and that you helped me. Thank you....

Were you using dism from 8.1 preview, adk, or rtm? because you have to...

After making Windows 8.1 AIO using the "ei.cfg ",I get product key error when running from the boot setup.
And I also get the message "Keep nothing" option.
What do I need to do to not getting product error key, and the possibility to keep files and settings ?

 

I have a doubt about these isos aio,I know the ei.cfg release all versions without asking to put key...

PLEASE...
Question...
It is possible to have x64 Recovery Mode (on this very useful guide)?
How can i add / enable x64 Recovery Mode?
It is possible to have both x86 & x64 Recovery Modes?

Thanks

PS

The only way is the WinAIO Maker Professional? and how exactly?

 

Booting from media.
With Windows 8 AIO I didn´t have this issue, only with AIO Windows 8.1.

Changing the "cversion.ini' file, I can keep programs, personal files etc., and upgrade without any problerms. My real problem is starting from the Media, and when I don´t put key, I get key error and cannot continue install, when using "ei.cfg" file. Without it, I need to enter a key to proceed the instalation. It seems that the "ei.cfg" file doesn´t work with Windows 8.1 AIO.

 

In my case (win 8.1 core, pro, enterprise, pro wmc, all x64 + x86) the iso size unfortunately is more than one single layer DVD (4.985.229.312 byte)...
Is that ok? or something wrong?

 

Since no1 seem to know the answer to error 0xc0000135 when I follow OP guide. I finally got it to work and integrate Net3.5, Key, cache.dat, & tokens.dat to Windows8.1 iso. Somewhere in the forum said you need cache folder but I test it and you do not need a Cache Folder for backing up your activation.

 

Don't need to see the logs to identify the problem.
Use dism from 8.1 preview, adk, or 8.1 rtm. You are using dism from 8.0 or before.
Simply installing 8.1 adk will not suffice, you need to run dism from the full path or it will default to your system32 folder, which will contain an older version if you are not running 8.1

You need to copy cdimage.exe and ei.cfg on the root path along with above commands.
You need to mount every image into a virtual drive, and change path into cmd.

And about EI.CFG file ?

 

Pilot and I tested this out fairly thoroughly.
To allow full "Keep Programs and Settings" option, you have to either have no ei.cfg or set it to a specific [EditionID]

This pretty much screws the keyless install stuff on an AIO unless you want to break the upgrade mode.
You can see what I'm saying by adding an ei.cfg and running setup.exe from the root of the image.
It will give you a Product Key error.

Now if you go into sources\ and run setup.exe, you can upgrade using the "Keep Nothing" settings, but that's not really helpful for most people who run setup from within windows.

Some people have created a customized ei.cfg generating script, and you could even edit winpeshl.ini to run it and then have the script call the setup.exe, but it would only work on
a USB Flash drive or other modifiable boot disk.

HALIKUS created some sort of little pre-setup program, but you'd have to ask him how complete it is and what all it does.

There are your answers, like them or not.

 

Thanks for it.
I asked about the file, because under Windows 8 AIO the EI.CFG fie worked fine and I didn´t need to enter key before installing any version of windows 8. and now, with Windows 8.1 AIO the EI.CFG file doesn´t work anymore.
It is the only thing I wanted to know.

 

ei.cfg works in win8.1, but like I said; it breaks upgrades.
for a simple ei.cfg all you need is:

[Channel]
Retail

-or-

[Channel]
Volume

You don't need the [EditionID] or [VL] to bypass the key entry.

 

So, to bypass the key entry I only need to use
[Channel]
Retail

-or-

[Channel]
Volume

and exclud from this file [EditionID] or [VL] ?
right ?
