I figured a way how to change the selection order! I used NTLite for this, so you have to export your individial operating system's install.wim file out to another install.wim file and appending to it, not overriding it and order it that way; the first one starts at the top, the second one below the first one, the third one below the second one and so on and so forth! This will take a while if you have a universal install media, so for me would take 19 tries to specifically order the operating system in whatever order you want them to be seen as on the setup screen.
I had to do this when I screwed up an batch update, so had to deleted the corrupted operating system image in the wim file, make a new wim file with the imagex /export commands I copied and edited out so I would only pick that specific corrupted operating system image that needed replacing, and then used NTLite to export and re-order using the new wim file, since I don't see a way to re-order he current one with the replacement operating system image sitting all the way down at the bottom of the selection list...
Apparently integrating KB5005392 update seems touchy for some reason.... and I'm guessing this error: Wrong architecture (x86): KB2533552 - Servicing Stack Update (B:\All windows 7 versions and 2k8 on one disc or usb\Win7+2k8AllSP1x64Base\sources\$OEM$\$$\Setup\Updates\Windows6.1-KB2533552-x86.cab) is because I have both 32-bit and 64-bit updates which presumesly can't be preintegrated and must be installed once the OS is installed first....
And holy crap the install media is now almost 9GB - 8.74 GB (9,390,724,272 bytes) after almost finishing integrating all updates to all versions of windows 7 and 2008 R2! And I'm not sure if it matters, but I've also done:
Which Hoopstar didn't mention in his instruction manual, but I did it just in case the setup needed these files since there were versions of these on the non-enterprise and 2008 R2 SP1 ISOs or in case anyone else wants to know what I did different to my universal copy.Code:Copied over adprep from support folder from 2k8 r2 Copied over samples from support folder from 2k8 r2 Copied over license from sources folder from 2k8 r2 Copied over install_Windows 7 ENTERPRISE.clg from sources folder from enterprise (There is one for both 32-bit and 64-bit) Copied over install_Windows Server 2008 R2 SERVERDATACENTER.clg from sources folder from 2k8 r2 Copied over install_Windows Server 2008 R2 SERVERDATACENTERCORE.clg from sources folder from 2k8 r2 Copied over install_Windows Server 2008 R2 SERVERENTERPRISE.clg from sources folder from 2k8 r2 Copied over install_Windows Server 2008 R2 SERVERENTERPRISECORE.clg from sources folder from 2k8 r2 Copied over install_Windows Server 2008 R2 SERVERSTANDARD.clg from sources folder from 2k8 r2 Copied over install_Windows Server 2008 R2 SERVERSTANDARDCORE.clg from sources folder from 2k8 r2 Copied over install_Windows Server 2008 R2 SERVERWEB.clg from sources folder from 2k8 r2 Copied over install_Windows Server 2008 R2 SERVERWEBCORE.clg from sources folder from 2k8 r2 Edited product.ini in sources folder so it combines the contents of both win7, win7 enterprise and 2k8; 32-bit version has STARTER line at the bottom which the 64-bit one doesn't, otherwise the two files are identical.

Question about the recovery and repair environment; I noticed when I load the images, the individual OSs have recovery environment, would I be able to export that out and then put it somewhere on the install wim or boot wim or that won't work? In this case would have two recovery environments - one for 32-bit and one for 64-bit.
