Hi, thank You first of all. Just created wmc.iso. I will try fresh install tomorrow. Creating Iso worked like a charm. I have a question: I tried the Iso in a virtual machine, and I cannot change or install any different Produckt Key/s. I tried this: In Windows 8, open the Registry Editor Search for MediaBootInstall and set the value to 0. Open an elevated command prompt (run as administrator) and enter: slmgr /rearm If you get an access denied error message, you’re not running the command prompt with administrator privileges Restart the computer Open a command prompt and enter: slui 3 Enter your Windows 8 upgrade license key and activate it Done! Still cannot change the Key. Is there any solution to this ? Or is the iso somehow linked to the System where activation came from ?
Backing up Office 2013 activation on windows 8.x is the same as backing up Windows activation. They are stored in the same 2 files.
It didn't work for me, after installing the pre-activated win 8.1 pro WMC, and installing office ! it should be activated, or at least after inserting the same key... but it's not. but fair enough, I have an unactivated copy but it works like an activated one lol, no red band, no activation notifications.. etc
I entered a "pause" after each command in the script to see how things are going. The first DISM command went ok, not the second one: C:\>DISM /Image:C:\W8MNT /Enable-Feature /All /LimitAccess /FeatureName:NetFX3 /Source:C:\W8\sources\sxs Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 6.3.9600.16384 Image Version: 6.3.9600.16384 Enabling feature(s) [===========================60.4%=== ] Error: 0x800f081f The source files could not be found. Use the "Source" option to specify the location of the files that are required t o restore the feature. For more information on specifying a source location, see etc... The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log C:\>pause Press any key to continue . . . How do I solve this ?
this error code is for messing files from the source, try copying your iso in "W8" again, and it should work. also be sure you're using the correct local driver's letter.
You probably used a VolumeMAK or KMS activation for Office. You have to use a Retail or OEM activation for Office on Win8.1 if you want to simply copy the activation files.
Ok This is what i used Code: Dism /image:c:\wmc\mount /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /Source:d:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess You see that i did it directly from the dvd
Thank you for helping me. I did what you suggested, my %systemdrive% is C: and I copied the .ISO content again, now I get this: first try, I did not run the first DISM, continued the script where it failed previously. Got the error: Error: 0xc1510114 The specified image needs to be remounted. Remount the Wim to make this image available for servicing. so I tried starting with the first DISM command, but that came up with: Error: 0xc1420127 The specified image in the specified wim is already mounted for read/write access. I ignored that but the second DISM gave the same error as if the image was not mounted. Error: 0xc1510114 The specified image needs to be remounted. Remount the Wim to make this image available for servicing. What can I do to get any further ?
I did what you suggested. It scanned all drives for stale files, operations completed succesfully then I run the script from start. first dism says ...already mounted second dism says ... image needs to be remounted what shall I do ? delete the c:\W8MNT directory and make a new one with another name, also namechange in the script ?
try these commands dism /Cleanup-Mountpoints dism /Cleanup-Wim imagex /cleanup you know where to copy imagex from.
Can someone please repeat these steps for windows 8 pro too or direct me to the right thread? Thanks.
For Windows 8 the steps are same as Windows 8.1 only with some changes 1) Instead of Windows 8.1, you need Windows 8.0 Retail OS, Key and Activated "data.dat", "tokens.dat" files from \Windows\System32\spp\store 2) In the code section just replace these lines Code: XCOPY /H /R /K /Y C:\WMC_DATA\tokens.dat C:\W8MNT\Windows\System32\spp\store\2.0 XCOPY /H /R /K /Y C:\WMC_DATA\data.dat C:\W8MNT\Windows\System32\spp\store\2.0 IMAGEX /flags "ProfessionalWMC" /info C:\W8\sources\install.wim 1 "Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center" "Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center" OSCDIMG.EXE -betfsboot.com -u2 -h -m -lW81ProWMC C:\W8 C:\en_windows_8.1_pro_wmc_x86.iso with these lines Code: XCOPY /H /R /K /Y C:\WMC_DATA\tokens.dat C:\W8MNT\Windows\System32\spp\store XCOPY /H /R /K /Y C:\WMC_DATA\data.dat C:\W8MNT\Windows\System32\spp\store IMAGEX /flags "ProfessionalWMC" /info C:\W8\sources\install.wim 1 "Windows 8 Pro with Media Center" "Windows 8 Pro with Media Center" OSCDIMG.EXE -betfsboot.com -u2 -h -m -lW8ProWMC C:\W8 C:\en_windows_8_pro_wmc_x86.iso
