Windows Longhorn is pretty old!
@Chon_ Originally, Windows Vista installation comes only in English, so how did you get it in another language?

BUMP.
How did Chon_ use a different (Probably French) language in the setup?
Originally Microsoft gives the setup in English by default.
Please reply with a decent way of doing it.
Thanks.

Nice idea , but doesnt work for me.

After : imagex /export F:\VistaAIO\x86\install.wim 4 .\install.wim "Windows Vista Ultimate x86"
The timer starts but at 47% it stops and it says error exporting image #4 cant find the file.

EDIT:

I got it now

imagex /export F:\VistaAIO\x86\install.wim 1 F:\VistaAIO\Distribucion\SOURCES\newfile.wim "Windows Vista Ultimate x86"
imagex /export F:\VistaAIO\x64\install.wim 1 F:\VistaAIO\Distribucion\SOURCES\newfile.wim "Windows Vista Ultimate x64"

And how when i want this unattended?
How does a XML file looks like from a Vista AIO?

I got spanish version DVDs, that's why my installations are in spanish, it is not multilanguage (although it can be done the same way, you just need the .WIM files for each language)

[ic0dk0c00]

Could I add a vlited edition of vista the same way?

[OcTroN]

The product key listed in a unattended install file decides which version to install. In this .wim, with combined 32bit and 64bit builds, does it still automatic pick the right vista version according to the key?

Any ideas? Or should I just test it next monday ;-)

[RYU81]

everything is work but is there way to unattended with vLite?i try it but is not working with it.

[vannuffelhan]

I tried this method with images where SP1 was integrated and when I choose not to insert a cd-key I get an error that the list of editions can't be loaded. Only when I insert a serial for a specific edition in the image it works. Anyone knows how to fix this?

[hotpants]

when you add all vista and server 2008 editions together, what is your overall install.wim filesize? my one goes well over 5GB - this then cant be burnt to a DVD.

Which DVD media do you use?

There are dual layer DVD media.
ISO-9660 and UDF file system handle files greater 4GB.
To include a 5GB file to bootable media http://www.msfn.org/...or-t111776.html

[hotpants]

sorry, I meant that my iso file is more than 4.7 GB. But DVD discs are 4.7GB. Is it possible to get DVD discs with more than 4.7GB storage?

Thanks

Perfect

Thanks man!

I got a question on this, when doing your export how does it know to append to the existing image instead of just overwriting them?

[c6comp]

Just a a little tip: your install.wim cant be bigger than 4.2 gb (about the size of a dvd). I tried to intergrate all setups onto one dvd (server 2008,x32,x64 and vista x32,x64), and everything worked fine, but when i tried to install, the installation failed. So, you must use vlite if you want to have it all...
Just a small tip

Well, seeing how little information is around in the net about this topic and seeing there's some interest in this topic I decided to write this little guide to accomplish this task. Hope it helps.

Does NOT WORK for multilang & autopatched VERSION!

You need to use vista build 5252 or older bootmgr & boot.ini !!!

(Windows Vista Business x32 and x64, Windows Vista Home Basic x32, Windows Vista Home Premium x32 and x64, Windows Vista Ultimate x32 and x64).

Here is a capture of Windows Service Image Manager when I open the file i've generated (install.wim) if i want to generate a .clg file for each install :


Here is the size of my install.wim file :


If I generate the clg (catalog) file (one for each installation) with Windows Service Image Manager (Tools>Create a catalog ...) or not.

Here is the isofile creation :


IsoFile size :


I stay stuck at this point when I press the Next button (suivant) :


I can't see the menu for choose which Vista Edition I want to install (when I don't put my serial).
