I found a program called WinAIO Maker Professional v1.3. It seems pretty easy to use. Now I want to modify it a bit, I want to add unattended installation for each setup too, since I can create one unattended xml file. I used to cdshell script for my xp setup. Any idea.

Basically I just want to combine all the variant versions of the 7. I'm hopefully someone could have me a hint. Thanks.

I ask because .. for me .. I'd like each version to say 32 bit or 64 bit also. I know a column is there for architecture .. but also having 32/64 bit in the name would be nice.

imagex/info can rename the description name in wim-file.

Sweet .. I wasn't sure exactly how, but found some examples from Google.

Use WinAIO Maker Professional. You can rename everything easily.

I want to create a external hdd with at least 60 windows editions. How to specify the unattended file for each installation. Whenever I created the unattended setup, it will limit to only 1 edition. I want to have about 30 editions for regular setup and rest will be unattended. How can I do it with rt7lite?

Good question. Starter only comes on the 32bit disc/ISO so I would start by checking that.

Where did you get your discs/ISO's?

There are a couple methods listed in this tutorial, which one did you use?

I think I got a 64bit so it would make sense that Starter is not listed there. I just downloaded random Windows 7 iso than removed ei.cfg and booted it on my netbook. the list showed just like on the pictures but without Windows Starter. how can I find a good Windows 7 32bit iso??
