Merging different versions


Master_T

Recommended Posts

Hi guys!

I was wondering if it was possible to merge two or more different vbersions of Vista on the same iso/dvd.... is it possible??

I mean, is it possible, for example, to put a x32 and a x64 version on the same disc?? Or a "untouched" version and a "light" one on the same disc?

Obviously, with a way to choose which one to install when the disc boots.......

If it's possible, can you tell me how?

And if not..... will this be implemented in future versions???

Thx!

AFAIK, this may be done by altering \sources\product.ini, but the layout of this file is probably undocumented on purpose.

[sku]
skuid=PRODUCT_XXXX1,PRODUCT_XXXX2,...
Type= ?

[cmi]
namespace=urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend
usepkey05=true
ClientServerSplit=true
AnswerFileFormat=1
[BuildInfo]
staged=....

Replace true from ClientServerSplit with false to include in the same image both Longhorn Server and Vista.

AnswerFileFormat=1 refers to the XML schema being used, i believe 0 was legacy before build 5048, as well as usepkey05, the new encryption method <rg:licenseGroup xmlns:rg="urn:mpeg:mpeg21:2003:01-REL-R-NS"><r:license xmlns:r="urn:mpeg:mpeg21:2003:01-REL-R-NS"...>.

I have no idea how to adjust skuid to match the \sources\license\ stuff, nor how that relates to staged.

If anyone experiments with this, let me know.
