Octopuss Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) So I started playing with DISM and the other goodies only to run into really stupid problem. I have an image which I delete all but Professional editions from. When I boot from the DVD I don't see anything I could choose after I set the regional stuff. Where I should see like Windows 7 Professional is one blank line and when I click on next, I am being told there is no image setup could install Windows from (it says bit copy in czech, but that is probably just how it is translated from english).What's wrong? In the image, w7Pro is now index 1, not 4 (of course). Do I need to add something in the unattended file?

Tripredacus Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I'm not sure how you "deleted" the other image indexes. The best bet if you want only one image in the WIM is to do an Export with Imagex. imagex /export d:\sources\install.wim 4 c:\images\install.wimThat will give you an install.wim with only the Pro image in it.

Octopuss Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 Maybe I did it that way, I don't remember.Details for image : d:\Win7_CZ_x32.pokus\sources\install.wimIndex : 1Name : Windows 7 ProfessionalDescription : <undefined>Size : 11 420 861 283 bytesThe operation completed successfully.This seems ok. But setup is screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopuss Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 Oh man I am so stupid. I forgot to delete the other catalog files for other editions and keep only the one generated by SIM.Lots of double pacepalms this week - and I am not even at the end yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopuss Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 And for some reason it doesn't work again after I syspreped an image, captured it and pasted back into ..\sources. What's wrong?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopuss Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) I exported just Professional edition out of the original source and it works when installed, so it must be something after sysprep part.Is this the correct command? imagex /compress maximum /flags "Professional" /capture k: e:\install.wim "Windows 7 Professional" K: is the .vhd I installed the system on and which I am capturing, obviously.edit: trying with C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools>imagex /capture k:\ c:\install.wim /check /compress maximum /verify "Windows 7 Professional" now.... final edit:SOLVEDhad to specify something more in unattended file Edited August 8, 2011 by TheWalrus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
