it should work, checkout once again did you left part of the instruction. and also the index is 1 for the image you have captured. what has been given in first post is for aio where the wmc image they are creating its index is 3.
Dude I wanted to create aio iso with following sequence: 1)win 8.1 pro 2)win 8.1 pro wmc So what nos I have to use please explain me.I am not getting.I don't want to create only win 8.1 pro wmc.
Yes I know you want to create a Windows 8.1 AIO with Pro and Pro WMC and You have only install.esd wim image and you don't want to use the wzor/msdn install.wim. so you converted the install.esd to install.wim by manual method. now you have working windows 8.1 pro install.wim but not able to create the second one windows 8.1 pro wmc and this is your problem. I told you to fix the flag setting of install.wim to Professional. then only you can change the wim edition from professional to prowmc and so I told you use the above imagex command which export the current install.wim to new image with flag settings fixed so that you will have proper working wim image then you can again export the wim image to second index and then change the wim eiditon to wmc, then in the new install.wim image you will have two images as you wanted in the first place.
But dude imagex.exe /compress maximum /check /flags "Professional" /export install.wim 1 install1.wim "Windows 8.1 Pro" "Windows 8.1 Pro" This is not working.It is only showing various options available.I am having doubt about the syntax
ok just try this Code: imagex.exe /Flags "Professional" /Info install.wim 1 "Windows 8.1 Pro" "Windows 8.1 Pro" edit: ya it was my mistake, I was in a hurry I had clubbed two commands that's why you were getting error.
Hi MSMG I´m back. Changed with GimageX. Everthing worked fine. Starting VMware player and showing ISO to start install and without "ei.cfg", all my OS were shown, but it was asking for a key at the end of the installation. After that I put the "ei.cfg" file, and got same error shown some posts ago. So, I created a VM first and used the option to install OS later. After launching, VMware didn´t find any edition to install (no window which versions to choose). The last try was creating first the VM and install OS later. Then I removed "ei.cfg" file, and tried to install OS. But it has shown me only 4 editions to install. Pro and VL (x86x64). No N version, Enterprise, Core, nothing. I real want to give it up. With Windows 8 it was so easy, but with 8.1 only problems. .
Dude I followed all ur steps.But now Ei.CFG file is having problem.I kept the following in it: [Channel] Retail [VL] 0 It shows that "Setup failed to validate the product key" I also tried wirh only: [Channel] Retail But in above case I have to enter product key.But no menu is appearing??? Plz help me in this.
The setup won't accept the key if you are entering the wmc key. only on the final boot when it asks for the key it will accept the wmc key. This EI.cfg config is correct for only retail iso's in your case, you have windows 8.1 pro, Windows 8.1 core and windows 8.1 pro WMC all are retail version you are having right Code: [Edition] [Channel] Retail [VL] 0
And what will be the ei.cfg file if the Aio has Windows Pro VL and Windows Enterprise and "N" editions, retail and VL ? In my case: Windows 8.1 Windows 8.1 Pro Windows 8.1 Pro VL Windows 8.1 N Windows 8.1 Pro N Windows 8.1 Pro N VL Windows 8.1 Pro +WMC Windows 8.1 Enterprise Windows 8.1 Enterprise N
I made an AIO consisting Core, Pro and Pro with Media Center (32-bit and 64-bit). I get this error during installation (error code:0x80070570): The file may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available and restart installation. Any help?
I don't have good system to run VM and so I have to test the AIO on main system. don't understand why people are getting difficult to make and run AIO. what's the error are you getting when using AIO in VM
I installed Windows 7 after that and it works just fine. I think the problem is caused by the AIO iso file. I installed it in VMware Player and the same problem occurred. There wasn't any problem when I used the original 32-bit iso. I will try recreating the AIO iso file.
I did everything the same as the thread starter, but excluded Enterprise edition. So the index for these should be 6 instead of 7. Am I right? Code: Dism /mount-wim /wimfile:C:\win81aio\win81\sources\install.wim /index:7 /mountdir:C:\win81aio\mount imagex /flags "ProfessionalWMC" /info C:\win81aio\win81\sources\install.wim 7 "Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center " "Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center"
Index 1 : Windows 8.1 (x86) Index 2 : Windows 8.1 Pro (x86) Index 3 : Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center (x86) Index 4 : Windows 8.1 Enterprise (x86) Index 5 : Windows 8.1 (x64) Index 6 : Windows 8.1 Pro (x64) Index 7 : Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center (x64) Index 8 : Windows 8.1 Enterprise (x64) You skipped Enterprise edition so the index is 6
I never had problems creating AIO of Windows 7 and Windows 8 both with x64 recovery mode, and ei.cfg file in both worked fine. But with Windows 8.1 I get the error with ei.cfg file. And didn´t test yet with x64 recovery mode.
Sorry but I have to agree with MSMG, to make a Windows 8.1 AIO you must use a Windows 8.1 running system with the proper updated files, like dism, imagex, etc. Then you get a flawless windows 8.1 AIO. I have one with this layout: Windows 8.1 Single Language x86 Windows 8.1 Core x86 Windows 8.1 Core N x86 Windows 8.1 Pro Retail x86 Windows 8.1 Pro N Retail x86 Windows 8.1 Pro con Media Center x86 Windows 8.1 Pro VL x86 Windows 8.1 Enterprise x86 Windows 8.1 Enterprise N x86 Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro x86 Windows 8.1 Single Language x64 Windows 8.1 Core x64 Windows 8.1 Core N x64 Windows 8.1 Pro Retail x64 Windows 8.1 Pro N Retail x64 Windows 8.1 Pro con Media Center x64 Windows 8.1 Pro VL x64 Windows 8.1 Enterprise x64 Windows 8.1 Enterprise N x64 Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro x64 Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard Core Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard GUI Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter Core Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter GUI
What is the size of your AIO iso file? Is it necessary to use Windows 8.1 to do a 8.1 AIO consisting of Core, Pro and Pro with Media Center (32-bit and 64-bit)? Can't this be done on a Windows 8 PC?
