HOWTO: Windows Vista x86 and x64 in the same DVD

March 21, 200818 yr

my one goes well over 5GB - this then cant be burnt to a DVD.

Which DVD media do you use?

There are dual layer DVD media.

ISO-9660 and UDF file system handle files greater 4GB.

To include a 5GB file to bootable media http://www.msfn.org/board/OSCDIMG-error-t111776.html

sorry, I meant that my iso file is more than 4.7 GB. But DVD discs are 4.7GB. Is it possible to get DVD discs with more than 4.7GB storage?

Thanks

I got a question on this, when doing your export how does it know to append to the existing image instead of just overwriting them?

Just a a little tip: your install.wim cant be bigger than 4.2 gb (about the size of a dvd). I tried to intergrate all setups onto one dvd (server 2008,x32,x64 and vista x32,x64), and everything worked fine, but when i tried to install, the installation failed. So, you must use vlite if you want to have it all...

Just a small tip :thumbup

Well, seeing how little information is around in the net about this topic and seeing there's some interest in this topic I decided to write this little guide to accomplish this task. Hope it helps.
....

Does NOT WORK for multilang & autopatched VERSION!

You need to use vista build 5252 or older bootmgr & boot.ini !!!

Hello Everybody,

Did anybody try to do the same thing with Vista SP1 (x86 & x64)? I try do as indicate in this guide (thanks chon).

I've merge the content of Vista SP1 x86 and x64 in a single install.wim file :

(Windows Vista Business x32 and x64, Windows Vista Home Basic x32, Windows Vista Home Premium x32 and x64, Windows Vista Ultimate x32 and x64).

Here is a capture of Windows Service Image Manager when I open the file i've generated (install.wim) if i want to generate a .clg file for each install :

Here is the size of my install.wim file :

If I generate the clg (catalog) file (one for each installation) with Windows Service Image Manager (Tools>Create a catalog ...) or not.

Here is the isofile creation :

IsoFile size :

I stay stuck at this point when I press the Next button (suivant) :

I can't see the menu for choose which Vista Edition I want to install (when I don't put my serial).

Did any one have meet this. And have a fix ? Any Help Will be appreciated.

P.S. : Here is the list of tools i've used :

Thanks for your help Neo !! That's crazy it's like in the Matrix Movie!

I've made as noticed on the site you gave me ...

The result is the same :

I've also tried to type the licence for see if i can go further, but I stay stuck at the same point.

What is the importance of the .clg file? The link you gave me don't talk about these file, i'm astonished. Why did Microsoft put them on the DVD if it's useless ?

Here is the information about the install.wim file i've generated (from WinPE Command Line tool) :

c:\VistaAIO\VistaSP1x32x64\sources>imagex /info ./install.wim

6. Delete al .clg files from your distribution folder (D:\VistaAIO\Distribucion)

Which is the reason to delete catalog files?

In other guide I didn't see this step.

August 21, 200817 yr

Hi Everybody,

Still diggin' about these CLG Files stored in Vista DVD.

Here are these files in Windows Vista DVD x32 :

Here for Windows Vista 64 :

Here for my custom install.wim (contains Vista x32 and x64) :

How to generate your .clg file? That's easy : Download WAIK from Microsoft then with the software called WSIM (Windows Service Image Manager)

Go to Tools menu > choose in the list Create a catalog ... and Then choose Image file (install.wim) you've generate before (as you follow chon_ guide).

It takes between 10 up to 25 minutes ... for each catalog creation.

Still waiting for help about these problem :

Thanks ...

See U. Joe

PS : sorry for missing thumbnails .... (click for see capture)

Hi guys I tried this on vlite created vista ultimate sp1 32bit and 64bit iso base files but imagex info for both sources install.wim so index 1 as i only set vlite to extract ultimate edition for both iso bases.

Now question is how do i confirm, the 64bit wim is merged into 32bit as i ran info on both install.wim after the merge command and they remain same as before ?

thanks

November 28, 200817 yr
