Ok I have now decrypted esd now renaming to ir5_wmc.esd and export image 4 to install.esd but now I blocked with next step how to convert in wim this file and is need extract other esd images from decrypted esd for make iso?
Hey, Am i right these esd's are the same as i get when i use the media creation tool ? Also is there a way to get both core and pro in 1 file ? Normally used a copy of a original dvd that seems to have both, and not sure if i will get same result if i merge both esd converted to wim into 1, Wintoolkit does not seem to support 8.1 to that point yet. though i am pretty sure command line will let me do it. But do want to have it properly instead the version of the one i enter the license key of. if i enter a core license i get core if pro a pro version. Thanks in advance.
mct still offers the IR4 esd (August refresh), this thread offers latest IR5 (November refresh) you could create full iso for pro edition then create install.wim for core then merge both it would be easier if you just obtained MSDN iso instead but yes, manual merge will give the same result as original iso what do you mean? Wintoolkit do support windows 8.1
I plan to use the IR5 version, but with wintoolkit when i try to merge both they complain about finding no sources directory, reported this bug today as well. Though you answered my question, doing it by hand will result in the same type of image as the dvd version, and sadly i do not have access to msdn iso, only original dvd, and also no clue if the msdn iso has IR5 in it or not. If you happen to know a offical iso with that i would need the dutch version, so if you could point me in the right direction to save me some time, a big thank you .
Do a complete upgrade and have the key in C:\Windows\Panther\windlp.state.xml no dism-version this time, wimlib is doing fine
hello to all i´m having problems with the esd, when i convert and make a install, when im make a update or change a feature always on reboot the windows is undoing the changes. i have checked the the sha-, tried the esd v3, v4 and v4f and no luck any help will be appreciated thanks
did u make a fresh install after formating or an upgrade, are all the drivers updated ? Give more details.
formated and its a fresh install, i have tried on 2 pcs but the error is the same, no drivers becuase its fresh, im using the prowmc en esd, i have used the windows 10 9926 esd and its okay, but the ir4 and ir5 prowmc of 8.1 give the errors of undoing patches the 2 pc arent uefi
You using the default updates (a couple of them are unchecked), or you're forcing win update to install all of them in a single pass?
I download this windows pt-br x86 IR5 and Win 8.1 pro x86 on "Create Media Install" on Microsoft Webpage (windows.microsoft.com/pt-br/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media) and install both 2 in VMworkstation. Follow aspects: - "Media Install" is 2.643.132.416 bytes. - IR5 of this is 2.169.503.744 bytes. - "Media install" is installed in 6:48min. - IR5 of this is installed in 7:05min. - "Media install" update before installation show 40 important and 12 optional updates. (this is 352,6mb all updates) (-100mb of IR5) - IR5 of this update before installation show 29 important and 9 optional updates. (this is 453,0mb all updates) - "Media install" before install all important updates, local disk C:\ size is 10,348mb - IR5 of this before install all important updates, local disk C:\ size is 10,911mb Conclusion: The best option is download from "Create Installation media for Windows 8.1" view: windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media [Sorry for my bad english]
