This question should be asked to M$ not murphy since they made many mistakes with updates in the last few months. And one question what is doing this post in this section ?
Hello people! I have a question regarding these AIO images. I am a tech pro, but i simply cannot figure out how to install these images? I can boot the USB/DVD (even the 83-in-1 i found) - but how do i start the installation of Windows? Must i use a command similair to Dism /apply-image /imagefile:install.wim /index:1 /ApplyDir D:\ from the command prompt??I newer get any further than the recovery console, no real installation starts, prompting me for the edition (like this: hxxp://cdn.blogsdna.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/windows-7-all-sku-editions.png) - is that on purpose? Thank you all in advance, i feel dumb for asking this question. Everyone on several sites go "thanks for the upload", "great with all these editions in one", etc, but NO ONE answers the "how do i install this"-questions...... The dream is to have a single USB with all the mose used editions on it Once again, thanks to everyone who use their time to make this possible! Kind Regards TwinA
Hey Murphy I was wondering if you could help me. I want to install 2 different windows 8.1 version on 1 ssd would that work?
Sometimes they group updates, so when you download them, it downloads both. They don't list them correctly on the Windows Update. Don't worry, it won't actually double-integrate them. It's quite a process actually. You have to get the partitioning done correctly. Then you apply an image. Then you run reagentc or winrecfg to set the boot data. Then you reboot and it will detect the hardware stuff and build the HAL. When it's done, you'll get greeted by the user setup screen. If you want all that stuff done for you I've got a superaio v5 on TPB. It includes my dispart/apply script v1.2.5. You can check out that script in the scripting section. It will work, but you might have problems installing using the default setup. I don't remember if I've tried it. If you manually apply the images and such it would get past the problems. I could also direct you to the diskpart/apply script. It handles multi-boot fairly well.
Would highly guess to make it fit on a FAT32 formatted usb-device . That nasty UEFI/Secure Boot requirement, you know.
UEFI support for USB flash drives. Fat32 format requires 4gig or smaller chunks. If you really need to work with the wim, just export the wim to a new file: Code: dism /export-image /sourceimagefile:c:\winaio\sources\install.swm /swmfile:c:\winaio\sources\install*.swm /sourceindex:1 /destinationimagefile:c:\temp\install.wim
Maybe you elaborate which Deployment Tools you downloaded and how you used it. Mentioned Deployment Tools are all that is needed, they are only several MB. No need to download the PE Files. When the Tools are installed they have their own Command Prompt (under Windows Kits in Start Menu or All Apps on Start screen) which must be used.
yes got that, I just want the necessary tools so I can execute DISM commands to merge swm files without download so many Bytes...and dunno where to get those
Hey Murphy78, Just tried this today. 74 cab files for 66.8mb under Win8.1 Pro. Doesn't seem right. Any thoughts??
Just ignore that advice. There might be a way to rename things and such, but it's more complicated than it's worth. Just do the standard download links and vm testing wuapp stuff.
Hey can I just get some advice please. My Target is all Win8 Editions. 1) If I'm installing .Net 4.5.3 is enabling NetFX3 feature needed? 2) Once I have all the updates, is it worth running Disk Cleanup (cleanmgr.exe) with all options selected? (This takes a while on my old notebook). 3) Are there any files I can delete manually. I think I read somewhere I should delete contents in c:\windows\winsxs\manifestcache\*.* 4) Is it worth running Dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup /resetbase? Smaller image? 5) Am I right to assume I need to disable winre (reagentc /disable) before Sysprep so the image I create has winre.wim restored to folder c:\windows\system32\recovery? Thanks Mr Plissken
Hello murph, thank you for uploading Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9860 Pro-Ent! Since .esd file contains four images, please add first level selection in esd-decrypter-v4c to enable extraction other three besides index 4. Thank you in advance.
.net 4.5.3 is a release candidate only. It's different from netfx3 which contains 2.0 through 3.5.1. The disk cleanup with admin permissions will go through and remove the superseded components. For example, if you integrate an update and then a rollup monthly update comes along the next month and supersedes the previous update, it will remove it. You'll still have the option to remove the monthly update and get back the original versions of files if you have a problem, but there will only be 2 copies of the file (one normal and one backup delta) instead of 3. You can delete the %windir%\softwaredistribution\ folder manually if you wish (as long as wuauserv is stopped), but it is typically deleted by sysprep. For resetbase, I actually would not recommend it unless you are extremely tight on space, such as a very small ssd drive. Although it seems like winsxs and the backups folder take up tons of space, they actually take up half of what they report. This is because everything in the winsxs folder is just a linked version of the existing system file. It's reported twice, but that's misleading. I don't know about the reagentc disable. If you want my advice, change the winre.wim, offline, before you ever do the first install. You will experience nothing but problems if you try to modify a winre, after the first install.
The script is just a basic tool to help people. You can run the various commands yourself. The backup command just copies the file from the original filename to filename.bak The decryption is just ran by using .\dism\esddecrypt.exe filename.esd CRYPTOID With the v4, it detects the tech preview esd files and automatically applies the cryptoid during decryption process, but you can find the commands and run them manually. I guess I don't understand what you are advocating. It's not very clear, sorry.
