ultimate/home premium install disc differences


Recommended Posts

Posted

I was wondering if anyone knew what the differences were between vista home premium disc and an ultimate disc? I know that I can install home premium with the ultimate disc, so can I change the ultimate disc to install home premium only? would it be the same procedure for x86 as x64?

Yes you should. Use Imagex /info to view the images contained in install.wim. Then use imagex /export to export the specific image you want. Next create a new DVD, and instead of the normal install.wim, use the one you exported. It must be called install.wim however!

Also note that if you just want to avoid the choice in the installation sequence, you can change ei.cfg on the DVD to force a different version without having to create an unattend. That is the only difference between a retail Home Premium and Ultimate DVD from Microsoft, for what it's worth - the contents of one file.
