Combining x86 and x64, problems.

[jwatson2323]

Hi all,

I've created an ISO combining W7 Pro 32 and 64 bit. Starting with updating each image separately with NTLite, then installing both on a VM to finish any updates.
After this I have sysprepped both images and captured the WIM. I have then copied the install.wim back into the original ISO.
Then I have used WINAIO Maker Professional to combine the 32 and 64 bit (giving me a x64 recovery mode also).

However when trying to boot the newly made ISO, I am presented with the attached screens.

Any idea what would cause this? How can i fix it so setup displays a choice of which version to install?

Hi,

there is an option in the Unattended page toolbar called "Dual Architecture", enable that on any of the separated image edits.
Then copy autounattend.xml file from the root to the root of that AIO overwriting the file there.
This is assuming the boot.wim file doesn't have one forced in it already (rare unless you or that other tool did it), in that case update that one too.

Also make sure you're not using the wrong/any product key on the unattended page. Also check .\Sources\ei.cfg and pid.txt files if any exist (you can delete those to be more clear what is going on).

Let me know if it helped.

I figured it out. I manually set the /flags switch within imagex to specify each install.wim and it's working great now. Thank you for taking the time to reply nuhi!
