opakedragon Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 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?

Tripredacus Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 You could easily lock a Vista install DVD to one edition only by using an AutoUnattend.xml. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opakedragon Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 would I be able to remove the images I dont want from the dvd to save space? or does that not work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 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!

cluberti Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
