please, post a dl link!

 

Yeah I'm trying another capture, it copies files fine but pukes on the last stage of setup

 

If you know the key, yes... If it's a key that's in your bios, you have to delete the ei.cfg

 

You can try .. but on the EI.CFG replace Volume with Retail and replace the number 1 with the number 0.

This *should* prompt you for a key during install.

 

No I have a retail.

Mounting and capturing wim, changes some files' size (possibly corrupted one's). for example windows\inputmethod\chs\ChsPinyin.lm from 18.2MB to 36bytes

 

wtf im completely lost.
Do we HAVE to change install.wim?

 

Give us a minute, almost done with iso of re-captured wim etc

I cant open PC Settings and Search. How can i fix this?

I used latest frankenbuild and only PRO wim file.

 

On Windows 8.1 Build 9471

1.
DISM /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:C:\sources\install.wim /SourceIndex:3 /DestinationImageFile:C:\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8.1 Professional" /Compress:max


2.
DISM /Mount-Wim /wimfile:C:\install.wim /Index:1 /MountDir:C:\Mount


3.
cd C:\Mount


sfc /scannow


4.
DISM /Unmount-Wim /MountDir:C:\Mount\ /Commit


All went well, just need to TRY installing IT NOW ???

UPDATE:

INSTALL FAILED

 

latest franbuild?? the install.wim is not frankenbuild :S

 

Although the "mount and capture" option might work to install this build successfully, I would personally not suggest to use this corrupt WIM file. While capturing the image from the mounted directory, the dism.log file is literally filled with errors like:

[7852] [UncompressFile983) -> file corrupted in block at offset 000000D1BCEDF040] G:\WIM\Windows\WinSxS\msil_microsoft.managemen..structure.resources_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.16384_en-us_46a23ef56e9e8055\Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.Resources.dll (Error = 1392)
[7852] ResExtract5166)

I'll be waiting for a proper WIM/ISO to get leaked.

 

is any1 so kind and can upload the ISO? It'd be great... I dl'd the install.wim but unfortunately I don't have the previous ISO to rebuild it with the new install.wim

 

I think this is BS, at least it won't do anything to key 100%
