Someone can help me to slipstream updates in this AIO version? I've read a lot of methods to do it, which is the best one for you? Thank you
With the oscdimg utility, how do I create an ISO image so that Windows 8.1 Update is started from the computers that have the standard bios or UEFI? Thanks Bye
Code: oscdimg.exe -udfver102 -h -l<label> -m -oc -u2 -bootdata:2#p0,e,betfsboot.com#pEF,e,befisys.bin <mounted DVD path> <ISO path>
Following the guidance, given in the first post, to create the Windows 8.1 Pro Update with media center iso, I should have the Wndows 8.1 Update (Multiple Edition) DVD of the VL/MSDN or Retail channel distribution? Thanks Bye
So, the difference between the ISOs of the two channels of distribution is only the change of some flags. That's right? Thanks Bye
Nope! The difference is that the VL ISO cannot be upgraded to ProfessionalWMC (it completely lacks this feature). Only the ISO named by Tito can be used to create the ProfessionalWMC version.
Excuse me, but then, what would be the properly procedure to convert a Windows 8.1 Update (Multiple Edition) VL/MSDN iso to a Retail iso. So, how do I do this? Thanks Bye
The MSDN ISO (2 indices: Core and Pro) you're referring to is already Retail ... no need to convert anything . It can be used directly to create ProfessionalWMC version. There is also an ISO named Pro_VL (only contains the Pro index) which is Volume only and cannot be used.
Hi I have noticed that, installing Windows 8.1 Update Core or Pro with the Multiple Editions MSDN iso, I see, with the slmgr.vbs /dli command, that its distribution channel is Retail. If, however, I add the EI.cfg file Code: [Channel] Retail [VL] 0 in sources directory of the iso using Windows ADK for Windows 8.1 Update, the distribution channel becomes Volume. How come? Where am I wrong? Thanks Bye
Does anyone have any idea on how to solve my problem above mentioned with the EI.cfg file? Thanks Bye
[EditionID] Enterprise or Professional [Channel] OEM or Retail [VL] 0 or 1 this is what my ei.cfg looks like
How does that matter ? Enter a Retail Key and the Licensing Channel will switch to Retail ... task done . It's still the installed key that determines the licensing channel.
The problem is this: I have the Retail serial but I would like that, when a person installs one of these editions, he does not have to insert them manually. So, how do I have to solve this problem? Thanks Bye
Check WIM for index SKU info: Code: dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:"W:\win81aio\install.wim" Mount WIM: Code: dism /mount-wim /wimfile:"W:\win81aio\install.wim" /index:1 /mountdir:"W:\win81aio\mount" Perform the Key Input command line from above. Unmount Index: Code: dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:"W:\win81aio\mount" /commit /checkintegrity Perform for every wanted index by using the matching key for each SKU.
How do I optimize and compress the several volume images contained in the install.wim file and this file? Thanks Bye
To re-compress you have to export to a new wim file: Code: dism /export-image /sourceimagefile:w:\win81aio\sources\install.wim /sourceindex:1 /destinationimagefile:w:\temp\install.wim /compress:max or for multiple indexes, you can use: Code: for %x in (1,1,20) do (dism /export-image /sourceimagefile:w:\win81aio\sources\install.wim /sourceindex:%x /destinationimagefile:w:\temp\install.wim /compress:max) Note that if used in a script it needs to be %%x instead of %x for both instances. You change the 20 number to however many indexes you have.
