    What about Usb instalation?
    If I want to have ALL win 8.1 (x64 and x86) on one usb? Can i somehow put this 2 as a separate instalatins?
    Something like have an option menu:
    • Install win x64
    • Install win x86
    Can somehow have both BIOS and UEFI boot?
    I have tryed If I formated USB with fat32 can make it boot UEFI but not BIOS, If I formated as NTFS can boot BIOS but not UEFI.
    If I devide USB in two partitions, win can read only one partition. Maybe with some linux distribution?
    How to make it on one USB? Is it possible?

    Should it be?
    setup.exe /installfrom:\sourc64\install.wim

    No, the install.wim will not be in that folder.
    The whole point of hybridizing the iso is so that you only have one install.wim, located in sources\

    Hmmm... I never mean about that option. But I like it. I'll try it later.
    I'm trying to have two install.wim (one x86, one x64) in separate folders. Can I do it, the same way you describe?
    I think without editing Autorun.dll it will work. Or not?

    that depends on what your using to add the x86 and x64 images and what sequence index # you give them so they can be found..

    Yes, if you have 2 install.wim files, you'd need to point it at the correct folder.
    That is a pretty wasteful use of a single iso though.
    When you use a single install.wim, about half of the x64 versions' files are already present in the x86 indexes, so the file ends up much smaller than 2x install.wim.

    It is not possible to have different folder than "sources" for install.wim (or esd or swm). It must be in that folder. I should be reading first then trying. I waste so much time:(. So I'm telling to others, don't waste your time. It is impossible to change folder for install.wim. Must be "sources"

    I don't know which is smaller 2 esd files or 1 wim. But space isn't an issue. The reason for having two separate installations is because is pointless to have x86 installations in uefi boot mode.
    Just a thought..... for possible solutions. Programmatically change the names of folders, maybe using netuse to create virtual disk or using iso. I'll try something and I'll tell.
