Pre-Requesites: ImageX Windows 8.1 RTM ISO Windows 8 Installed ------------------------------------ On your C: drive, make a folder called Win81WMC, and inside of that, put your Install.Wim and ImageX (If not in system dir), and create a folder called "Mount" Then run the following code: Code: Dism /mount-wim /wimfile:C:\win81\install.wim /index:3 /mountdir:C:\win81\mount Dism /Image:C:\win81\mount /Get-TargetEditions Dism /Image:C:\win81\mount /Set-Edition:ProfessionalWMC Dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:C:\win81\mount /commit imagex /flags "ProfessionalWMC" /info C:\win81\install.wim 3 "Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center" "Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center" Then rebuild your ISO and Install! Your Windows 8.1 Key should be accepted during installation and it will install. I recommend you activate over the phone, but truthfully, I don't think it matters. EDIT:If you're using the WZT ISO, change the index number to 1, not 3!
You know, the "Dism /Image:C:\win81\mount /Get-TargetEditions" is unnecessary. You don't need it. At all. It's useful only if you forget what edition name to use for Set-Edition.
You need to use the dism from 8.1 preview or rtm for this. It will lag and error out if you try to set-edition prowmc from 8.0
You have a KMS installation; yet you try to activate with retail key. You need a KMS-activator to activate (not released yet!)
thi thread help to instal win 8.1 pro wmc directly ( so we can skip win 8 pro we dnt need to wait fr kms ) we can wmc key activate by phone but i failed at first step help me ?
I'm going to aio all these leaks later on TPB, but right now I'm doing svf patches for people so they only have to download one version and the patches rather than all full versions. Should help the ppl who can't do torrents well
Yep...the CoreSL/Core/Pro Frankenbuild had 3 indices. A normal Retail ISO has 2, Pro as index 1 and Core as index 2.
Yeah...while creating a ProfessionalWMC edition WIM i attempted to enable .NET 3.5 in the mounted WIM ... and BINGO! Code: ====================================================================================== Enabling .NET 3.5 in: c:\win8\mount ====================================================================================== [P]proceed or kip ?: P Default: Values: Path to mounted ISO 'X' Set Path to ISO >d Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 6.3.9431.0 Image Version: 6.3.9600.16384 Enabling feature(s) [==========================100.0%==========================] The operation completed successfully. Press any key to continue . . .
Not activate but install WMC on not activated Pro(without activation Pro).And then you must activate Windows 8.1 Pro Media Center (retail key).
