I have the following in my autounattend.xml. No EI.CFG. I just select what I want to install from the index in my wim. No productkey needed: Code: <UserData> <ProductKey> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> <Key></Key> </ProductKey> <AcceptEula>true</AcceptEula> </UserData>
Created an Windows 8.1 Pro WMC Iso few hours back, Everything went well. when booted it up I'm getting os version selection dialog with 2 "Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center" x86 versions, what's the reason for that? Note: i manually copied the activated data.dat and tokens.dat to their location. and also enabled Dot-net framework feature.
has anyone tried doing an AIO with the newly released iso's for windows 8.1 (Windows 8.1 Professional with Rollup 1 (32-Bit). I am getting the following error when attempting the first command: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Deployment Tools>Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c:\win81aio\x86\install.wim /SourceIndex:2 /DestinationImageFile:c:\win81aio\win81\sources\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8.1" /compress:maximum Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 6.3.9600.16384 Error: 87 An error occurred while processing the command. Ensure that the command-line arguments are valid. For more information, review the log file. The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log The commands from the first page worked with original RTM ISO's.
while i was doing this guide me laptop crashed now i can't unmount the wim C:\Program Files\Windows Kits\8.1\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Deployment Tools >Dism /mount-wim /wimfile:G:\win81aio\win81\sources\install.wim /index:3 /mountd ir:G:\win81aio\mount Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 6.3.9600.16384 Error: 0xc1420127 The specified image in the specified wim is already mounted for read/write acces s. how do i umount this ? any help would be grateful
Hey, I read only 66 pages, but know I ask I made a 8.1Pro WMC DVD. I started setup.exe. Win8.1 started an has something to do. Then it collected something. And suddenly: Can´t proof the Key. Only thing I can do: close the Programm. I try different ei.cfg, try it with WindwosDownloadIntegrator. Everytime the same window. The source is a 64bit Win8, which I could upgraded my Win8 without any problem. Any solutions, perhaps it will written on the last 30 pages? Thanks Edit: I just deleted the ei.cfg file and...ok I was asked to a key. I take the installkey from M$ and till know it works.(But only withe the key for pro. A key for pro+WMC didn´t work.) I hope I could activated, cause I´ll take only the free WMC KEY from Dec.2012 or I have to take the "free" WMC key and restore the files from spp/store. EditII: I have get only the pro without WMC. So I have to install and then restore the 3 files from spp/store. Hope it will works
Yes with success but when i try to redo my Iso's im getting bigger problems doing the WMC bit..comes back with errors see below: View attachment 24702 The error you posted is the same as i got on the first try, what i did to correct it was download all of the windows updated editions (including windows 8.1 RTM x86 + x64) and made folders for each and again see below for example: View attachment 24703 btw i did try using the same example on page 1 of this thread with same or similar results, will keep going til its right. the other idea i tried was extracting the updated install.wims to the x86 + x64 folders. As i use 64 bit system i did also extract the x64 windows 8.1 to the win81 folder because using the 32 bit gave me error upon opening the setup.exe ohh btw the x86RU / x64RU folders are the Rollup updated install.wim, all i did was change the commands for each one..possibly it could be why i cant do the WMC bit or it might be something else. Update: Ok solved the problem i was having and im no longer having the WMC problem as stated above i created extra folders to test the RU version and its now working will keep the examples above so others can not do what i did...learning fast Update 2: and i get the same problem again trying to do the next part, and it keeps happening when i start over
can i make an aio with core, singlelanguage pro and pro WMC x86 and 64bits ? just wondering if i need any extra lines of code i have all the ISO i need
Yes, me too... Thanks Ambidav, and thanks Kelorgo for the great HowTo about creating suitable token files.
when creating bootable iso, the code mention in first post has EFI boot, if not what shoud be the code
" There is no mention of EFI boot only Ei.cfg which allows you install without entering the product key.
If you still have the extracted ISO in the ISO folder and you have already made a WMC 8.1 from it The exacted files have already been modified to WMC that is why you get this error. You cant upgrade to wmc if its already been done Try deleting the the ISO files and copy over the unmodified files from the original ISO and start again should work perfectly
oscdimg -lWIN -u1 -h -m -k -oc -bootdata:2#p0,e,b.\boot\etfsboot.com#pEF,e,b.\efi\microsoft\boot\Efisys.bin .\ .\Win_BCD.iso or oscdimg -lWIN -u1 -h -m -k -oc -bboot\etfsboot.com .\ %systemdrive%\Win_BCD.iso
@Puffingmad Thanks, I copied my .dat and tokens files, but after setup Windows is not activated. Maybe because I activated my media center online before?
Can someone explain the purpose of making this ISO? Does it allow to install Win8.1 with WMC and activate both Win8.1 and WMC by a single VL or EMS activation instead of 2 separate activations? Чow the activation works for clean install? What should be the source ISO to which WMC is added: Retail, VL, Enterprise or ANY. Does it only allow to activate WMC by a separate key with 8.1 Pro Retail already activated, so the only purpose of making the ISO is to avoid downloading WMC pack? I think it should be explained in the 1st post.
