    You mean one dvd ?

    Should be, you can always try it and use virtualbox and test.
    imagex / export "source:\vista/7 64bit" 1-5 "sourc:\vista/7 32bit" "Edition Name)

    Ofcourse corresponding number / name of editions.

    Report back if it works :p

    If you have a dual layer dvd you can integrate both 32bit and 64bit of vista and windows 7 to one dvd:D.

    About your question: you may experience an space problem you need to have separate DVDs for 32bit and 64bit.

    I decided to take a walk up the road to my cousins house. He had both bit editions of vista ultimate and i couldnt wait for my internet usage to reset so i borrowed them and made some images out of them. I integrated the vista editions as you would to create an Windows 7 AIO 86-64 bit but i encountered a space problem. So what i decided to do was have them seperated by architecture. So now i have to dual layer disks. One for the 86 bit and one for the 64 bit. I tested it out in virtual box and it works.

    Did you actually make the 32/64 bit AIO? Space isn't really an issue when you install from a USB drive. I have a 7 only AIO that is on a hidden 10gb partition on my mybook 1TB drive. Install from it all the time. (hidden as in not assigned a drive letter). If you have the vista/7 32/64 AIO keep it and throw it on a thumb drive.
