    Sorry for not knowing what you mean.

    If you like 6 Options, then the AIO will show 6 options below-mention as the Install Windows Pop-up. So you can choose what edition you like to install.

    Windows 7 Home Premium x86
    Windows 7 Professional x86
    Windows 7 Ultimate x86

    Windows 7 Home Premium x64
    Windows 7 Professional x64
    Windows 7 Ultimate x64

    Ya I know, I just wrote myself a CMD that does everything.

    But you know what the "autounattend.xml" is? Its the answerfile, so you can Pre-set settings for your installation (IE8 settings, Sidebar settings, and also skip parts of the installation, because you preset your wishes).

    The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

    No, thats SetupComplete.cmd. :)

    The autounattend answerfile needs to be placed in the root of the dvd (where folder sources is located also). But X64 and X86 differ and wont work for eachother, so I am trying to find a way to get both working.

    I used ImageX to delete Starter & Home Basic. Otherwise I have no idea with other CMD :)

    Windows 7 professional comes up as Home Premium

    I think i screwed up with these two lines:

    Professional x64
    C:\ImageX\Imagex.exe /export C:\Px64\Sources\install.wim 3 C:\Allbit\Sources\install.wim "Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL x64"

    Professional x86
    C:\ImageX\Imagex.exe /export C:\Px86\Sources\install.wim 3 C:\Allbit\Sources\install.wim "Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL x86"

    Because when i install Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL x86 it comes up as Home Premium. Is "3" the wrong number to pass to install.wim for Professional?

    Professional x86 is 4 not 3

    Code:
    for 32bit > 1=Starter 2=HomeBasic 3=HomePremium 4=Professional 5=Ultimate
    for 64bit > 1=HomeBasic 2=HomePremium 3=Professional 4=Ultimate

    @ Brandypuff,

    you screwed up and misunderstood

    All you need to do is:

    Copy and paste the Command lines as follows:


    Professional x64

    C:\ImageX\Imagex.exe /export C:\64bit\Sources\install.wim 3 C:\Allbit\Sources\install.wim "Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL x64"

    So the line you added below is NOT necessary. Because All x86 editions are already in Allbit folder

    Professional x86
    C:\ImageX\Imagex.exe /export C:\Px86\Sources\install.wim 3 C:\Allbit\Sources\install.wim "Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL x86"
     
    Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...

    for 32bit Starter & Home Basic are already in Allbit folder.

    Most of people don't want to install them. That's why I add Delete Commands

    If you want to keep Starter x86 & Home Basic x86, Do not delete them

    just start HomePremium x64, Professional x64, and Ultimate x64

    Take a look at Optional for HOMEBASIC x64

    i'm confused

    If i have the Ultimate x86 version,then i don't need the ISO's for any of the versions under it? What about Ultimate X64? Does it also contain X64 Professional? This stuff is bizarre to me but way cool, too.

    Ok. Explaination

    If you delete the file called ei.cfg in Source folder Windows 7 Ultimate x86, you'll get all as follows:

    Windows 7 Starter
    Windows 7 Home Basic x86
    Windows 7 Home Premium x86
    Windows 7 Professional x86
    Windows 7 Ultimate x86

    If you delete the file called ei.cfg in Source folder Windows 7 Ultimate x64, you'll get all as follows:

    Windows 7 Home Basic x64
    Windows 7 Home Premium x64
    Windows 7 Professional x64
    Windows 7 Ultimate x64

    AIO simply means that we export x64 into x86

    Is that clear ?

    Where did you put ImageX folder ? Can you picture Command Prompt ?

    Make sure

    1. Put all folders as : Allbit-64bit.. and ImageX in the same C:\drive
    2. Copy & paste the Command lines in Command Prompt. DO NOT try to type.
