    Can anyone please give me step by step instructions on how to make an all-in-one Windows 8 DVD

    The versions I want to put on the DVD are: (MSDN Versions including Server)

    (I know it can be done because I've seen the following image)

    WinAIO from Application board works fine, just don't enable x64 recovery mode :)

    Works fine using Windows 7 tutorials and WAIK for 7 SP1. Already made one and used to install.
    Need to ad an ei.cfg file with [EditionID] blank.
    But the result will be limited mostly to boot from it. The 32 bit setup works only in 32 bit Windows environement ( MSFT has blocked it to run ? ) and the 64 bit setup only in 64 bit. In Windows 7 you can use the 32 bit to run setup from Windows whatever you have an 32 bit or 64 bit installation.

    Thanks guys I've now managed to create a Windows 8 All-in-one DVD but it asks for the product key for each product.

    Looking at c3po's post above I think I need to create a ei.cfg file(?)

    Can any please let me know what I need to put in this file? and where does it need to be located on the DVD?

    Thanks in advance

    You supplied wrong links:)

    Pre release from MS is also genuine MSDN version, its released by MS but its not RTM. What build is it and what SHA1 is it?

    Hi,

    The pastebin files are the contents of the 2 files in question. (my ei.cfg & product.ini files)

    The builds I have for Enterprise are:-

    en_windows_8_enterprise_x64_dvd_917522

    SHA1: 4EADFE83E736621234C63E8465986F0AF6AA3C82

    en_windows_8_enterprise_x86_dvd_917587

    SHA1: FEFCE3E64FB9EC1CC7977165328890CCC9A10656

    When I install Enterprise (x86 or x64) from my All-in-one DVD it shows that the software is Pre-release software on the Licence terms at the start of the setup.

    EULAID:Win_RC_3_E_R_en-us

    However when I install these versions from the all-in-one dvd it shows: Build 9200 on the desktop - so I know its the RTM build

    If I install the Enterprise build directly from the separate iso files for Enterprise, different Licence Terms are shown and does not show that it's re-release software

    Why would that be?

    what if you change the ei.cfg to "Volume" Channel?

    My german files (de_windows_8_enterprise_x86_dvd_917589.iso) also show Prerelease license, but only on EVAL and RETAIL channel.

    EULAID:Win_RC_3_E_R_en-us (retail)
    EULAID:Win_RC_3_E_E_en-us (eval)
    EULAID:Win_RM_1_E_V_en-us (volume)

    You also can just open the install.wim with 7zip and browse for the Licenses
    install.wim\Windows\System32\Licenses

    help me please

    Hi,

    Happy to note that you were successful in creating an AIO iso with multiple versions. May I know which all versions do you have in that AIO ISO? Do you have Pro with Mediacentre (x86 & x64)also? If so can you upload it somewhere or else give me a torrent link by which I can download it? You might have seen a Spanish torrent has such a thing but its system language is Spanish and I want in English. Can you please help me. Thanks in advance for your response
