Windows 7 - Create a custom installation

I've been trying to figure out a way to create a custom installation source for Windows 7 or Vista.

What I want to do is make the installation use 2 install.wim files, not 1 as default...or ..to be more specific, I want to have an option in the setup, asking for Windows 7 64bit and Windows 7 32bit...I saw that WAIK (Windows Automated Installation Kit) serves such purposes, but I have failed to figure out how, I 've come across some walkthroughs but they don't cover the matter adequately.

Actually, what I want to do most is create a bootable installation media tha gives me both options for 64bit and 32bit installations. But I haven't managed that so far...I've seen several bootable cdroms around that manage to load 2-3 OSes, but I don't see how I can do this with Windows 7 and bcdedit...

Any suggestions anyone?

i as a seven team member i am not giving the advising you to do this/ (you shouldnt even try it)....

as a regular member i would see vlite as a choice for simplifying your customization of the install....

Thank you, I'll give it a try and see what I can do.


I've tried and come very close..Why would you not advise it? It's really handy for an IT administrator to have muliple installations to boot with in one media.
