Cleaning up all Mounted Wim Images: This operation will search for all the stale or corrupted files in your machine and clean it up! – Code: dism /cleanup-wim
I doubtfully would say there's an "exact disc with no mods" cause is a guide solely. I can pass a customized guide to do an AIO according to your needs / requirements if you like of course.
When I get to ... Next step to convert to ProfessionalWMC Code: Dism /mount-wim /wimfile:C:\win81aio\win81\sources\install.wim /index:3 /mountdir:C:\win81aio\mount It tells me the image is already mounted and ready for read access even though I did the cleanup all images before starting over. When I type ... Dism /Image:C:\win81aio\mount /Get-TargetEditions it tells me it can't access the image. Nothing seems to be written to the mount directory in the first many commands. Shouldn't I be mounting the Sources folder instead of the mount directory?
Can I use this guide with the latest Window 8.1 Pro + Update? Thanks for your great work on my current 8.1 Pro + WMC =)
Check to which folder the WIM was mounted to with: Code: dism /get-MountedWimInfo You can discard it with: Code: dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:"path to mount folder here" /discard
The code on the first page such as ... Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c:\win81aio\x86\install.wim /SourceIndex:2 /DestinationImageFile:c:\win81aio\win81\sources\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8.1" /compress:maximum looks like it writing the install.wim file to the sources folder. Isn't that what I should be mounting?
Does anyone have the link to the thread similar to this one that was for a Win7 AIO? I'm wondering if the first half of the Dism lines are supposed to address the MOUNT folder instead of the SOURCES folder.
Using an AIO with all versions of Windows 8.1 (x86/x64), there is no way to use it to upgrade from Windows 7/8 to 8.1. But if I create only an AIO with all versions of Windows 8.1 (x86) and another (x64), will the upgrade work ? Or must I use the simple ISO to be able to upgrade?
The easiest way is to write it to a USB drive. To turn it into a version that can upgrade, you need to edit the ei.cfg file to reflect a version, (Core, Professional, or ProfessionalWMC). Once the version is written in temporarily, you can use the installation flash drive to upgrade. After it has upgraded your computer, change the ei.cfg back to how it was, so you can get it back to a multi-platform AiO install disc.
I'm having a problem where I can't get the AIO disc to not ask for the CDKey in setup. I've tried dropping the ei.cfg file in place, but it doesn't seem to work. I'm trying to make an AIO disc out of the new 8.1 Update 1 images. Here are the image files I'm working with... en_windows_8.1_with_update_x86_dvd_4065105.iso en_windows_8.1_with_update_x64_dvd_4065090.iso en_windows_8.1_enterprise_with_update_x86_dvd_4065185.iso en_windows_8.1_enterprise_with_update_x64_dvd_4065178.iso ...I followed these instructions to the letter, and everything completed succesffully. But it still asks me for a CDKey every time.
