Creating a Windows 8.1 AIO with Media Center manually

You aren't downloaded OSCDIMG.

 

@WinDev

I have, it's part of The Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK)

 

I did the whole procedure with ADK (verified presence of ImageX,DISM&OSCDIMG) until the last section:"Next to create bootable iso, open the Deployment and imaging tools command prompt as administrator and enter the following command "
oscdimg -bC:\win81\iso\boot\etfsboot.com -h -u2 -m -lWIN81-PRO-WMC C:\win81\iso C:\win81\ProWMC.iso

 

I have Windows 8.1 32bit and windows 8.1 64bit into 2 separate ISO files. I want to merge them into a single file/image/setup such that in setup it appears as 1. (Windows 8.1 Pro x86) 2. (Windows 8.1 Pro x64). This post is difficult for me because it is for enterprise and wmc as well. I just want 2 options for win8.1 pro x86 and win8.1 pro x64.

I actually tried to combine x64 + x86 (not enterprise) and for that I didn't made folders for enterprise and I also skipped some commands and finally created a bootable iso. But when I run, it says that there is some error with setup and product key can't be validate or something like this. Note: I run the direct "setup" in windows (not after writing it on a dvd or usb and booting it). I think I did something wrong. So help me plz.

 

imagex is not recognized as a command why I can go no further

 

Maybe wrong syntax, and always when working with DISM you must close all explorer windows.

Id apply the key to just one then perform a test to see if it worked in bypassing that screen.

 

I've tested that before, inserting the product key, and it actually works. What I don't want is to set the key for each index because it takes for too long to accomplish all indexes (with my dism commands)

Do you have a faster alternative?
I don't want to skip the oobe process.

 

If there is a faster route, I do not know it. Could automate the mount/apply/unmount process with a batch and just leave it till it is done.

 

So all the versions will be considered VL editions?

 

No, Retail and VL editions.

 

Id like to be able to activate them, which ones are VL editions so I can only do those? is it possible to activate Retail editions?
