    Hi All..

    I've been trying to make a combined version of Windows 7 Enterprise x86/x64 and Server 2008 R2 x64 Enterprise
    but I cant get it to work.
    I've then tried to drop Windows 7 but that doesnt work either. it show up blank whenever i need to select the version I want to install. Though i can click em, i cant se the name and choose proceed.
    I would say it should be very simple to make an AIO:

    Step 1 get WAIK
    Step 2 have iso (x86/x64 (and server))
    Step 3 imagex.exe /export "D:\x64\sources\install.wim" 1 "D:\x86\sources\install.wim" "Windows 7 Enterprise x64" (THIS STEP EXPORTS THE x64 WIM INTO x86)
    Step 4 Make it bootable..


    So its basicly just 1 line so it should be fairly easy to make it work, but it doesnt..

    So where am i going wrong??

    I've read that if the Server version should be merged into the x86, I would need to take the license folder in the install.wim and in the source folder and copy it over to the x86 source folder and install wim..

    Just a potential guess.... if you used the eicfg_removal_utility
    You may need to actually extract the ISO and just delete the "ei.cfg" file, you'll have to look around for it.
    I did not use this tool when i created mine.

    Don't know if this is the issue. May have to start over and try just deleting that file after extracting the full ISO.

    Thanks :) Great Tutorial

    What version of WinRE does this load? does it load both 32 and 64 bit versions? or just the 32 bit one.

    If you follow that tut, it will be the 32 bit boot .wim if that's what you mean.

    You can put lots of apps in there too , which you can't in the 64 bit boot .wim

    Otherwise, you can put the 64 bit boot.wim inside as well, and create a boot menu entry for it.
