Wow, I'd forgotten about this thread! Now that SP1 is out, I'm in the process of slipstreaming it, and I came back to check up on MDL. Thanks for all the feedback, sorry I abandoned you, and I've edited my post to let people know about the /m:sourc64 thing for SP1.
hello i have read all the fantastic guide and done all the process but i have a problem i can't do this: Now first open D:\AIO\DVD\setup64.exe in your hex editor. Search and replace all instances of the unicode string "sources\" with "sourc64\". Although this breaks the signature, it does not break the program, because both strings are the same length. Because i have open the setup64.exe but searching there isn't sources\ Instead all done on next file ( .dll) Is it a problem or is it only for upgrade proccess? P.S. I'm using the last iso with sp1 integrated downloaded in this forum. (ita language) Let me know thanks
Please do I made a SP1 AIO with recovery etc... cannot fit into a 4GB USB at all.. tried couple of times..
For those of us who are not as young...or good with hex editors etc...is there a pre made torrent of this anywhere? Thanks guys.
might be useful to update your topicstart thanks for this one, created an AIO by just dumping all images into install.wim, works as well, but just for installing as i do not upgrade systems, clean install FTW might be handy to have just in case,...
Thanks to DrKane and all other for excellent tutorial and advice. I Downloaded the AIK 1.66GB , with help with IDM.. I cut and pasted the commands , with ease and they worked flawlessly. " Now first open D:\AIO\DVD\setup64.exe in your hex editor. Search and replace all instances of the unicode string "sources\" with "sourc64\"" . My setup.exe from x64 did not have a"sources\" string. that stopped me. then after reading I realized it was for only x64 images . I was only interested in X86. so I skipped all the associated work with it. I have digital river retail pro win7, which would not install and would quit after 20% expanding. Then I got a dvd from market which had Ultimate X86 & X64 and nothing else. The thread greatly informed and educated me, I was able to extract all 5 editions from my digital river dvd and made a AIO. However each edition from starter to Ultimate quit at about 20% expanding. So I thought about it figured that first 20 % of my Install.win from digital river is corrupt but may be the rest is ok. I used the install.wim from the market dvd to first install the Ultimate image in the new wim, then exported all 5 indexes from the digital river install.wim. I tried , the dvd had 6 options to choose , first was the ultimate from the market, then other 5 starter to ultimate from digital river . I installed all via USB, they all worked . Then I used this Install.wim and exported the 5 indexes from starter to Ultimate and got an AIO. I again installed each edition from the USB , and was able to install all. So thank you all for the great help and education. I had downloaded the SP1 fro MS site 1.66 GB . It had all 3 SP1 images . x64 , x86 , x 64 It. I thought it would be simple task to ingrate it like XP. Then I searched the forum and found the thread about slip streaming SP1 in to win7. Nice info there. I tried the updated Guide by Raoul. I read and reread , and finally I realized that the excellent Mr Raoul had written only updates just one index in the Install.wim. So I slowly loaded all 5 indexes one by one and integrated the SP1 in each and saved the Install.wim. I now had 5 Install.wim files with each just one Index in it. Then I came back to AIK command window and exported the 5 indexes one by one and making and AIO. Worked perfectly and now I have my win 7 x86 SP1 AIO .iso I booted from usb and installed all 5 editions one by one and they work and are SP1. So thanks again for education and pointing towards a great tool WAIK , without which It would not be possible. 09:32 4/6/2011 Imagex /export "C:\AIO\WIMs\Install1.wim" 1 "C:\AIO\DVD\sources\install.wim" "Windows 7 STARTER" Imagex /export "C:\AIO\WIMs\Install2.wim" 1 "C:\AIO\DVD\sources\install.wim" "Windows 7 HOME BASIC" Imagex /export "C:\AIO\WIMs\Install3.wim" 1 "C:\AIO\DVD\sources\install.wim" "Windows 7 HOME PREMIUM" Imagex /export "C:\AIO\WIMs\Install4.wim" 1 "C:\AIO\DVD\sources\install.wim" "Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL" Imagex /export "C:\AIO\WIMs\Install5.wim" 1 "C:\AIO\DVD\sources\install.wim" "Windows 7 ULTIMATE" oscdimg.exe -l7_AIO -t10/22/2009:00:00 -m -u2 -bC:\AIO\DVD\Boot\etfsboot.com C:\AIO\DVD C:\Win7x86SP1_AIO.ISO 10:48 4/6/2011 Updating path to include dism, oscdimg, imagex C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools\ C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools\..\x86 C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools\..\x86\Servicing; C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools>Imagex /export "C:\AIO\WIMs\Install1. wim" 1 "C:\AIO\DVD\sources\install.wim" "Windows 7 STARTER" ImageX Tool for Windows Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp.

Thank you OP for this post. I've been looking to add the Recovery portion to my iso. In the original post you put that after getting the GUID you can do the following commands to add the x64 recovery Code: bcdedit /store boot\bcd /set {GUID} device ramdisk=[boot]\sourc64\boot.wim,{7619dcc8-fafe-11d9-b411-000476eba25f} bcdedit /store boot\bcd /set {GUID} osdevice ramdisk=[boot]\sourc64\boot.wim,{7619dcc8-fafe-11d9-b411-000476eba25f} So I'm curious if doing the following will add the x86 recovery since the boot.wim in the sources folder is x86 Code: bcdedit /store boot\bcd /set {GUID} device ramdisk=[boot]\sources\boot.wim,{7619dcc8-fafe-11d9-b411-000476eba25f} bcdedit /store boot\bcd /set {GUID} osdevice ramdisk=[boot]\sources\boot.wim,{7619dcc8-fafe-11d9-b411-000476eba25f} Hopefully it will. I would like to be able to do setup, both version of recovery and maybe an x86 and an x64 PE edit:: after i ran the command... Code: bcdedit /store boot\bcd /copy {default} /d "x86 Recovery Mode" and then ran the commands with the new {GUID}, it did make an entry for the x86 Recovery. I have yet to test either of the x64 or x86 but I'm pretty sure that will work.
same problem with the german version... I used Windows 7 Ultimate with SP 1 (x64) + (x86) (German) from MSDN, not slipstreamed myself. I guess these strings only work for the english version. Until this step everything worked perfectly, now I'm stuck. Maybe I just have to use an english version and include the language pack, or are there signs for a solution? Kind regards, Dionysos Edit: I just read through the thread... How do I alter the autorun.dll to point to lunch.exe? Only alter the autorun.dll in sources folder or also in sourc64? Thanks in advance!
hex editor. Search and replace all instances of the unicode string "sources\" with "sourc64\". Now, open D:\AIO\DVD\sourc64\autorun.dll, and replace all instances of the unicode string "sources\setup.exe" with "sourc64\lunch.cmd" use HxD hex editor easy to use goto Search and replace whoops you reading a later post
I think I managed it with the updated instructions: Stage 1: except "copy the setup.exe from the x64 DVD to D:\AIO\DVD as setup64.exe" Stage 2: done Stage 3: done Stage 4: Open "D:\AIO\DVD\sources\autorun.dll" in your hex editor. Search and replace all instances of the unicode string "sources\setup.exe" with "sources\lunch.exe". Place the file lunch.exe in "D:\AIO\DVD\sources\". Now, finally, we're ready to master a DVD. Open up the deployment tools command prompt, and enter: "oscdimg.exe -l7_AIO -t10/22/2009:00:00 -m -u2 -bD:\AIO\DVD\Boot\etfsboot.com D:\AIO\DVD D:\7_AIO.ISO" I think it worked, have to try it though. Thanks!
I have several aio dvds I have made. One is with just win7 x86 and x64 variants. The other is with x86,x64 and server 2008. These worked fine. I then attempted to make one with x86sp1,x64sp1,and server 2008r2, but the iso was bigger than 4.7 gis, so I had to use cdimage latest version instead of OSCDIMG. OSCDIMG gave me file size error. I created the image, but when I attempted to install it, it only showed x64 and x86 Win 7 Ultimate and not server or other variants of Win 7 on the install menu OS choices. I have the MSDN Win 7 with sp1 preinstalled in image, if that matters. My understanding is that this guide is for x86 and x64 Win 7 and does not include Server 2008. I saw Sams guide, which includes Server 2008. The end result I am trying to accomplish is this: 1. Create an AIO Win 7 (all variants) x86sp1, x64sp1,Server 2008 r2 with recovery for x86 and x64 Win 7 and after successfully doing, 2. Then adding preactivation to it and TEST TEST TEST nad report back my results. Is this possible, due to file size probably being over 4 gb (4.63 GB was my iso size)? I even tried with imgburn, due to udf format it does, but still only show Ultimate x86 and x64. I think I deleted the ei.cfg file (of boy, let me double check). If not possible, then what would an experience member here recommend. I will continue reading threads. I am just not sure if I should use Sams guide or this guide or some other guide. I did search this specific thread for "Server 2008 r2", but it did not reveal any post. Thanks to all for all your help. Am I wanting something that is not possible right now. Would it be improper for me to post these questions in Sam's thread as well. I think yes, because if I double post, the experience MDL gurus will probably see both threads anyway, which may make them upset with me, so I guess I answered my own question, lol. Edit: Ok, I had not deleted the ei.cfg file. I did that and now I see 17 versions of Windows on the install list. The only ones I need to add are Windows 7 Enterprise x86/x64 and WHS 11. Is there an easy way to just add these only without redoing the whole thing. I imagine just extracting the wims of those and rebuilding and then using cdimage to remake iso. Is preactivation possible with ALL the versions I want to have on here and what drawbacks are there to dual layer dvd AIO, aside from not having a dvd drive? I imagine if DAZ loader supports it, then probably. Maybe I can't add WHS 11 on it, because it would be over a dual layer dvd I think. Anyone integrate WHS 11 yet into AIO? I also think these are sp1 installs. I am installing Ultimate x64 and will post back Sunday sometime. These are what I have on my dvd right now: Windows 7 Starter x86 sp1 Windows 7 Home Basic x86 sp1 Windows 7 Home Premium x86 sp1 Windows 7 Professional x86 sp1 Windows 7 Ultimate x86 sp1 Windows 7 Home Basic x64 sp1 Windows 7 Home Premium x64 sp1 Windows 7 Professional x64 sp1 Windows 7 Ultimate x64 sp1 Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard (Full Installation) x64 Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard (Server Core Installation) x64 Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise (Full Installation) x64 Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise (Server Core Installation) x64 Windows Server 2008 R2 Data Center (Full Core Installation) x64 Windows Server 2008 R2 Data Center (Server Core Installation) x64 Windows Server 2008 R2 Web Server (Full Installation) x64 Windows Server 2008 R2 Web Server (Server Core Installation) x64 I tried to attach img link, but not enough post, I guess. Here are thumbnails. Do mods prefer image tag or attachments?
