Good morning everyone, I have 4 VL iso's of Windows 8. 32-bit Enterprise, 32-bit Pro, 64-bit Enterprise and 64-bit Pro. I want to be able to combine them all into an AIO but am I right in thinking that I can't get the Core versions out of the 32/64-bit Pro versions because they are VL? So if I make this DVD, I can only have 4 versions instead of 6 as it isn't a retail copy? I guess I'm a bit confused on how to make the ei.cfg file to reflect the VL copies? And could I also get the Media Center version as well? Thanks for your help. Dreday
For infos, Media Center can not be added in a VL version of Windows 8 Pro. This feature does not exist.
Just giving the OP all of the options available - the non-VL ISO's accept GVLK's and contain two images (2 x install.wim), Core and Pro. This means you can have up to 6 SKU's on the AIO disc, using only 4 official ISO's. For the AIO I agree. Although, I was actually responding to coleoptere2007's claim that WMC cannot be added to a Windows 8 Pro VL, the EI.CFG I supplied was for a Windows 8 Pro WMC VL ISO only.
OK, I'm going to try and build it tonight and will let you know if I run into any problems. Does anyone know where I can check my MD5 for my copies of Windows 8 and then I can really tell you what kind of ISO's I have?
I looked around and got a VL copy of Windows 8 which has this EI.CFG file: Code: [EditionID] Professional [Channel] Volume [VL] 1
If the person isn't sure what they have, the hashs are there for them to verify. There are a few places that changed the names of them and the DL is called VL. Once the person gets the hashs from the iso's they have, then there will be no confusion. Only reason they are there.
None of that is in question: You've posted hashes to ISO's that are Windows Pro WMC (or at least its what they seem to be) and afaik, they do not exist official from Microsoft. Being created by users is all I know to be around and then, every hash would be different would it not?
