    How to create .ISO from .VHD file - KezNews.com

    You don't need a paid .iso editor, of course.

    Extract the 7100 .iso ( which you are using as the host)

    Replace the install.wim with the new one you just captured.

    Use any pretty much any burning app. to create a bootable .iso from those files. If you have vlite, that will do it easily, or if you have the MS oscdimg.

    Unless you want an .iso for some reason - you don't need it at all, it is perfectly easy to use the install.wim to install from.

    Nice

    I should have added that it can be installed without the need to ISO it but as I (and many others) only use the boot option it wasn't in my head at the time. Thanks

    Upgrade from build 7100 files have been confirmed not to work, 7201 still untested

    Changed: sorry, meant upgrade, not install

    So I can't make the ISO using 7100, isn't that what SoLoR did to make his?

    I think so, but I only ever clean install & that still works.

    So the upgrade from 7201 to 7260 using an ISO build from ISO 7201 + VHD 7260 has worked perfectly.

    I suppose it is because the setup.exe was not older than the installed version.

    I will try to build an ISO with 7229 and VHD 7260.
    Then I will try a fresh install and an upgrade if some people are interested with some of those results.
    Let me know.

    Thanks for clearing that up, I was only doing to do a clean install anyway just to test the build, I usually only run x64 anyway and haven't tried a x86 build since build 7000.

    If i want to delete a subdirectory/file or two from "install.wim" in order to clean it up, i understand from the documentation that i have to install "wimfltr.sys" and associated files. Can anybody point me where to download these requisite files from? Thanks.

    I can confirm that this method Using the 7201.0.090601-1516_x86fre_client_en-us_retail_ultimate-grmculfrer_en_dvd-ISO
    and the 7260.0.x86fre.win7_rtm.090612-2110.client_en-us.ultimate work without any trouble I am running it now.
    GImageX seems to be useful also::. Link::. http://www.autoitscript.com/gimagex/
