Hi , First of all, sorry if this is the wrong section to post in, or if that particular issue have already been discussed.I've been searching for it but couldn't find an answer. I'm trying to merge different versions of Windows 8, 7 and Server (2012,2008) into the same iso.From what i've been reading so far, i have to use windows 8 as a basis for my set up. My first problem at this level is that i have 2 Windows 8 isos, and none of them have a install.wim in their "sources" folder.The first one has a install.esd , and the other one a install.swm (along with an install2.swm). Can i use those for my basis , or is there a way to convert them to a .wim format? Any help and hint would be extremely appreciated. Thanks
Thanks a lot for the input. I've just got an W8 iso with a install.wim , but when running the command "imagex.exe /info [path of extracted iso]\sources\install.wim" , i get an error : --------------------------------------------- ImageX Tool for Windows Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp. All rights reserved. Version: 6.2.9200.16384 Error opening file [D:\AIO\8\sources\install.wim]. "Attempt to load an incorrect program format" (i translated this part, as my OS is not english) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Is it corrupted? (It is a x64 W8 pro)
I have Windows 7 installed on my computer to create the setup, if that's what you mean.If not, i also tried using DISM to get info from the W8 install.wim and here is what i got: I have both Windows AIK and ADK installed. -------------------- C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Deployment Tools>Dism /get-win info D:\AIO\8\sources\install.wim Erreur : 87 DISM does not recognize the command line option « D:\AIO\8\sources\install.wim ». C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Deployment Tools>Dism /get-wim info D:\AIO\8\sources\install.wim Erreur : 87 DISM does not recognize the command line option « D:\AIO\8\sources\install.wim ». Did i made any error in the command line? Edit : The correct command line is: Dism /get-wiminfo /wimFile:\AIO\8\sources\install.wim or Dism /get-imageinfo /imageFile:\AIO\8\sources\install.wim Still, on both cases, i get an error 11 with the message ""Attempt to load an incorrect program format""
That's what i did, something went wrong when copy pasting from the command prompt interface. I'm suspecting a corrupted iso, but from my experience a corrupted one would'nt be extracted without failing. I'm looking for another one to test it.
Sorry, i deleted the iso copy on my computer after extracting the files, that's why i could not provide them right away.I don't think there is any point in checking the hash of the extracted folder, am I wrong? I use winrar for the extractions. Any way, the original iso was : SHA1 : A3D2C3B528A18AE73B2E8F5FD7A0DA7014301D36 MD5 : 3FB02BA7D1538CB95BB8BA01DD64D330 CRC-32 : 60771C9D My copy gave me : SHA1 : 1c21688fbbf6c5c8f21f614904263eb428d75af7 MD5 : 6fbc7981111a0e56fa197db46492f516 CRC-32 : d83aae43 I got another W8 iso and the dism /get-wiminfo command works just fine now. I'll start making my AIO iso and post the results soon.
I just made a test and successfully created a W8/7 iso.I will try to make full installs from it and i'll add Server 2008 and 2012 .Thanks to you all for the tips!
