replace the # in "/index:<#>" with the index # of the instance inside the WIM you actually packaged

In the past these were usually a case of mistaken image identity, one reader accidentally integrated his updates into image #1 not knowing that image #5 (#4 on x64) was actually the Ultimate he was looking for.

Ok what did i miss, cause I don't see any mention of which image Index is which, other then here that says 4 is Ultimate .

Didn't miss anything, I mistakenly assumed everyone was familiar with the WIM image format and never posted the list.

Here you go - These are the default images inside an untouched ISO - obviously vLite users who remove all images can disregard. they only have 1 image in their iso's

x86

1 - Starter
2 - Home Basic
3 - Home Premium
4 - Professional
5 - Ultimate

x64

1 - Home Basic
2 - Home Premium
3 - Professional
4 - Ultimate

Hope that helps.

I see,I didn't realise you had to do that I thought all the hotfixes etc where applied to all version.Do you just select which version with the drop down box,1-7.In my case x64 ultimate will be number 4

I am going to give this tool a try. Does anyone know if it will intergrate drivers that are unsigned in 64-bit or do I have to do all of those manually with the forced command?

[MrJinje]

This doesn't use the force command (run it separately if you need) but it seems to integrate them, because I get a pop up during installation asking permission to install an unsigned driver.

Any chance you can add this force command functionality in future revisions? Its pain to sort out which drivers need to be redone when you got like 200+ drivers.

[MrJinje]

I would try something like this first.

Dism /Image:D:\Mount /Add-Driver /Driver:D:\Drivers /Recurse /ForceUnsigned

report back if that allows you to force all 200 of your drivers in a single command.

[ricktendo]

Or use dir /b switch to get a list of the INF files

for /f %i in ('dir /b "X:\Unsigned\*.inf"') do dism /image:X:\mount /add-driver /driver:"X:\Unsigned\%i" /forceunsigned

a (really really) stupid question: integrate cert/insert key is used to get windows 7 already activated on install? I'm trying to achieve this on my notebook but i don't know here to find the cert file...

Thanks

That only works for OEM computers that came with Windows 7 originally.

See this article

If you have an Windows 7 OEM computer you might be able to find the proper certificate in your "C:\Windows\System32\OEM" folder. As for the OEM key, do not use the one on your sticker. That will not work because that key is retail COA not OEM:SLP. Run a product key checking tool on the machine to determine what Product Key your machine is really using, then use that key.

Otherwise, if you do not have a Windows 7 OEM machine, forget it, that method will not work for you (but driver integration still should).

[maxXPsoft]

open admin cmd prompt and type slmgr -dli
if OEM then then under description it will say OEM_SLP channel
or type this for more slmgr -dli | slmgr -xpr | slmgr -dlv

This is what i get:




So what should i do if it's OEM?

You are using the Key from the Product Stocker (COA), not the generic SLP Key from OEM.

This is a clean install of windows 7 homepremium x64 retail, with product key on the laptop cover, phone activation. No chance to get the activation file and put them on dvd?

this will back it up and yes you can inject them

[MrJinje]

Yep, use Token Restore in your situation. That will preserve your sticker based activation.

If that is not good enough, the only alternative might be to restore the bloatware factory install that came on the machine when you bought it. But since you already did clean install + activated with your sticker key, it will be much quicker to just use Token Restore instead.

OK, everything was going along swimmingly.

I mounted the source that was on a bootable flash drive.

I added drivers and updates (packages).

I committed the changes.

I went to the mount folder, expecting to see the modified installation files/folders, and instead saw what appeared to be an installation of Windows [folders: Perflogs, Program Files, Windows]

What do I do with THAT?

[MrJinje]

Let me get this straight, you were expecting to see an installation of Windows, but what you in fact saw was an installation of Windows. LOL, "These aren't the droids files I'm looking for". Quit playing jedi mind tricks on yourself. and FYI, those are the files your looking for.

What you can do with them is Copy/Paste any files you want into the system. Any changes you make in the mount will be a part of the next install. (after you commit changes) Maybe you want to delete useless shortcuts from the start menu, or copy a portable application into the Program Files folder, I dont know, get creative.

[rasty]

Sorry to be dense, but what I was expecting (apparently unjustifiably) was to see in the Mount folder something very similar to the source [folders: boot, efi, sources, support] with which I could use to make a new install disk.

I originally found links to this thread after finding out that Vlite doesn't work for Windows 7. I thought Dism would be an alternative to Vlite.

[ What you can do with them is Copy/Paste any files you want into the system. Any changes you make in the mount will be a part of the next install. (after you commit changes) ]

In the context of what I was expecting/trying to do, I have no idea what this means.

I guess I was expecting a vlite apple and got a C: drive orange.
