    Yah you always have to discard when you fail a mount/unmount and reboot. I wouldn't trust a half-mounted mount folder haha

    Yep, indeed. Mostly had the case that the Commit was working but the Unmount failed (it's enough to have the mount folder opened in Explorer :doh:). In that case the mounted image isn't useable at all.

    Step-1. Download and install The Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK)[FONT=&amp] for win8.1

    Step-2. Create folder on your c drive and name it win81aio

    Then create 7 sub-folders inside win81aio folder and name them as follows: Win81, wim, x86, x64, Updates_x86, Updates_x64, Mount.
    [/FONT] View attachment 28416
    Step-3. Next extract your windows 8.1 32bit iso to the win81 folder then move the install.wim from win81\sources to the x86 folder

    extract your windows 8.1 64bit install.wim to the x64 folder

    Put all 64 bits updates to folder Updates_x64
    Put all 32 bits updates to folder Updates_x86
    Note: please put the number before the KB files starting from 10 in order you want to install. Like if you want to install update Windows8.1-KB2919442-x64 first then simply rename it 10. Windows8.1-KB2919442-x64 and for the second order rename it 11. Windows8.1-KB2919355-x64. (please note that don’t start numbering like 1, 2 3 ….10, 11 as it will first pick 1 and then 10 and then 11 so start from 10 like 10, 11, 12, 13…20, 21 and so on) do it the same for 32 bits updates also

    Step-4. Then open Deployment and imaging tools CMD as administrator
    Step-5. Enter the following command 1 at a time
    Code:
    Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c:\win81aio\x86\install.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:c:\win81aio\wim\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8.1 Pro" /compress:maximum
     
    Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c:\win81aio\x64\install.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:c:\win81aio\wim\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8.1 Pro" /compress:maximum

    Step-6. Integrating Updates

    Code:
    Dism /mount-wim /wimfile:c:\win81aio\wim\install.wim /index:1 /mountdir:c:\win81aio\mount
     
    Dism /Image:c:\win81aio\mount /Add-Package /PackagePath:c:\win81aio\updates_x86\
     
    Dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:c:\win81aio\mount /commit
     
    Dism /mount-wim /wimfile:c:\win81aio\wim\install.wim /index:2 /mountdir:c:\win81aio\mount
     
    Dism /Image:c:\win81aio\mount /Add-Package /PackagePath:c:\win81aio\updates_x64\
     
    Dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:c:\win81aio\mount /commit

    Step-7. Now export the image to the sources folder for further compression.

    Code:
    Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:C:\win81aio\wim\install.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:C:\win81aio\Win81\sources\install.wim /compress:maximum
     
    Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:C:\win81aio\wim\install.wim /SourceIndex:2 /DestinationImageFile:C:\win81aio\Win81\sources\install.wim /compress:maximum
    
    Step-8.
    Next you will need to create an Ei.CFG file, Copy and paste the following into notepad and save as Ei.CFG. this is for retail version and if you want for volume license version then put the value 1 for [VL]
    [Channel] _Default [VL] 0
    and place this file in sources folder C:\win81aio\win81\sources
    EI.cfg Will allow you to install any of the editions without having to enter a product key first

    Final Step. Next to create bootable iso, open the Deployment and imaging tools command prompt as administrator and enter the following command
    Code:
    oscdimg -bc:\win81aio\win81\boot\etfsboot.com -h -u2 -m -lWIN81aio_updates c:\win81aio\win81 c:\Win8.1_update1.iso

    Sorry, you can't. Pro VL only contains one index & it can't be upgraded to Pro WMC.

    Hello,
    I have made an AIO that contains Pro/Core/Enterprise/Single language x86-x64. i used also an $OEM$ Folder with a setupcomplete.cmd script to install all basic programs and applications... all is working perfect except for both coresingle versions , the script is simply ignored ... an idea ?

    Ei.cfg is present in sources folder with this code :

    Code:
    [Channel]
    Retail
    
    [VL]
    0
    I noticed also that you can upgrade CoreSL to PRoWMC with add Features without any problem, is that normal ?

    It's correct. 17041 is the BuildLabEx string shown for a running Win 8.1 U1. MS likes to create confusion here :cool2:.

    if you have already windows 8.1 pro x86x64 aio.iso and it has install.wim file and not the install.esd file then see what are in its indexes in your install.wim file and note down them.
    copy and paste the install.wim of the above iso in a folder named Wim C:\win81aio\wim
    Now open Deployment and Imaging tools environment Command prompt and use this command:

    dism /get-imageinfo /imagefile:C:\win81aio\wim\install.wim

    If i guess there would be only two indexes in it. see index one has what architecture if 86 or 64.
    accordingly you can mount the index one by one and integrate the updates. Rest all commands would be same except step-5 if you read it carefully and know what does it mean.
