    Why not using the Windows Download Integrator. This is the easiest way, I think.

    Yes it is the easiest but I don't think it can add backup data.dat, tokens.dat, and netdot35 to install.win unless i'm wrong.

    Question: Is there a way to disable System Restore beside manually disable after installation completed.
    Code:
    Run: gpedit.msc
    goto:
    Computer Configuration> Administrative Templates > System > System Restore
    At right pane, double-click "Turn off Configuration".
    Select "Enabled".
    Click "OK".
    Double-click "Turn off System Restore".
    Select "Enabled"
    Click "OK" 
    Would like (if possible) to disable inside iso just like we did it to add netdot35?
    Thanks

    No you are not able to disable it within the install.wim I think the only way is to to this via setupcomple.cmd

    There is a way

    1. Mount WIM
    2. Load registry "HKLM\Test"
    Code:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT
    
    example :
    C:\mount>reg load HKLM\Test c:\mount\windows\system32\config\software\
    
     
    3. Under Windows NT, create a new key:
    1. On the Edit menu, click New, and then click Key.
    2. For the name of the new key, type SystemRestore.
    4. Create a new DWORD value:
    1. On the Edit menu, click New, and then click DWORD Value.
    2. Double-click the new key to open the Edit DWORD Value dialog box.
    3. Under Value name, type DisableConfig, under Value data, type 1, and then click OK.
    5. Unload registry


    Code:
     example :
    
    C:\Windows\system32>reg unload HKLM\Test
    
    6. Commit and Unmount

    if using windows 7, and you cannot get the /export-image function in DISM to work because of an older version of DISM (6.1.7600.16385) and need a newer one, replace the dism.exe located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Deployment Tools\amd64\DISM with dism.exe on the windows 8 iso image, located in x:\sources (x being the drive letter your iso is mounted to). then, on the first line of catdog215's text to put into your admin cmd prompt, change it to CD C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Deployment Tools\amd64\DISM. now all the commands you put in involving dism will use the windows 8 dism (6.2.9200.16384) it will also help because imagex.exe is also located in that folder, so you won't have to worry about copying it to the deployment tools folder to get the image x command to work. hope this helps a few people like me who had back ups of the tokens and data files, ,and their windows 8 pro wmc upgrade key, and had a hard drive crash.
