how to modify setup to show only ultimate x86 and x64


Recommended Posts


Easy.. either you add the ei.cfg file in the sources folder OR you remove all other versions..

Just follow the the guide in the link u got and u'll be fine..

Just replace the paths with your own..

Easiest and best way would be to export the x86 and x64 versions of Win7 Ultimate to a new .WIM file containing just those two versions (you could use something like gimagex for this). Once you have the new WIM file with just those two versions, rename that WIM file to install.wim, overwrite the install.wim from an x86 Win7 source (make sure to delete any ei.cfg file from \sources), and create an ISO of that source (don't use an x64 source, as the x64 source can't "see" x86 WIM images, but the x86 source can see x64 images). The resulting installation image will list both Win7 Ultimate x86 and x64 only.

Because some people aren't comfortable at the command line. Also, ei.cfg simply removes the check for which version to install or determines which version to install *automatically* - it won't help him put x86 and x64 images on the same disc in the same WIM, and in fact editing ei.cfg will automatically install the version it's set to in the cfg, and that is not what the OP is trying to do.

So again, I reiterate - to do this, copy Win7 Ultimate x86 and x64 out of their respective WIM files into a new install.wim, and copy that into the \sources folder of an x86 source (again, so that both x86 and x64 images will be seen). That can then be made into an ISO or used on a USB device for installation in the way the OP wants.
