Updated December 14, 2014 (Just after the Patch Tuesday 12/9/2014) A small as I can complete step-by-step guide to: WinToolkit As I did not found a truly comprehensive guide to this fantastic tool, I took the time to write a brand new one. First, as I’m not that deep in all the staff and as I’m not an English mother language I would accept any kindly correction you would provide to me. I’m considering this a work in progress. Second, I’m aware that I made some choices here that are personal ones, please don’t hung me on those ones. What was the goal of the job Create AIO ISOs customized with multiple languages integrated and with all updates integrated. What I used to get the job done Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 8.1 update 1 original ISOs. As I’m Italian and I have MSDN subscription I used those ones: For Windows 7 SP1: x86it_windows_7_professional_with_sp1_x86_dvd_u_677088it_windows_7_enterprise_with_sp1_x86_dvd_u_677749x64it_windows_7_professional_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_676945it_windows_7_enterprise_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_677660 and the Language packs and Local Packs x86mu_windows_7_sp1_language_pack_x86_dvd_6197167601.17514.101119-1850_x86fre_client_localpacks-GRMCLPCKFRE_DVDX64mu_windows_7_sp1_language_pack_x64_dvd_6197147601.17514.101119-1850_x64fre_client_localpacks-GRMCLPCKXFRE_DVD For Windows 8.1 update 1: x86it_windows_8.1_with_update_x86_dvd_4048174it_windows_8.1_enterprise_with_update_x86_dvd_4050454x64it_windows_8.1_with_update_x64_dvd_4048528it_windows_8.1_enterprise_with_update_x64_dvd_4048657 and the Language packs x86mu_windows_8_1_language_pack_x86_dvd_2706085X64mu_windows_8_1_language_pack_x64_dvd_2706084 Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit http://www.microsoft.com/it-it/download/details.aspx?id=39982 with two option Distribution Tools and Windows PE environment. WinToolkit Windows Updates Downloader http://www.windowsupdatesdownloader.com/ProgramFiles.aspx as preferred tools to download the updates because it downloads them and preserve their creation timestamp and organize them in a more suitable fashion. For Windows 8.1 update 1 I also downloaded and used Script tool from abbodi1406 http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/48600-Add-Multilingual-Support-to-Windows-8-1-Setup-DVD-automated-batch-script Abbodi1406 script works only with Windows 8.1 update 1 images. Organization I made a structured folders system: one for Windows 7 SP1 and another for Windows 8.1 update 1 Windows 7 SP1 Windows 8.1 update 1 I will go deep into them, as I will describe the process but take this as fundamental: organization is most the important thing. Create AIO x86 and x64 I unzipped ISO files with 7-zip and created two set of AIO one for x86 and one for x64 systems. Here you have sample snapshots of the process: Then I named the folders this way: For now on I did a parallel two processes of integration for x86 AIOs and x64 AIOs. Integrate Languages Windows 7 SP1 I extracted the Language Pack and the Local Pack from the ISOs and started the integration of them with WinToolkit All-In-One Integrator. I did it for AIO x86 and the AIO x64. Windows 8.1 update 1 I used abbodi1406 script to integrate languages and Microsoft .Net 3.5 into Windows 8.1 update 1 images. Here is the sample of the organization of the folders and the script: For sure I did one folder and one script for each set: x86 and x64 Integrate IE11 (only Windows 7 SP1) I used WinToolkit All-In-One Integrator.

This step is optional but I recommend it. Windows 7 SP1 As Windows 7 SP1 needs some components to be installed at the end of the installation and because Microsoft .Net Framework 4.5.2 is not included, actually, you should go through this step. I will give you a sample of how you can setup this stage but, for sure, you can customize it as you want. This is how I setup the Complements and Tweaks folders. This is the SetupComplete.cmd script I'm suggesting: @echo offdel /q "%USERPROFILE%\DESKTOP\*.lnk"del /q "%PUBLIC%\DESKTOP\*.lnk"start /wait %SystemDrive%\x64\DOTNET\BASE\NDP452-KB2901907-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe /qstart /wait %SystemDrive%\x64\DOTNET\BASE\NDP452-KB2901907-x86-x64-AllOS-ITA.exe /qstart /wait %SystemDrive%\x64\DOTNET\UPDATES\NDP45-KB2972216-x64.exe /qstart /wait %SystemDrive%\x64\DOTNET\UPDATES\NDP45-KB2972107-x64.exe /qstart /wait %SystemDrive%\x64\DOTNET\UPDATES\NDP45-KB2979578-v2-x64.exe /qstart /wait %SystemDrive%\x64\DOTNET\UPDATES\NDP45-KB2978128-x64.exe /qstart /wait %SystemDrive%\x64\EXE\Silverlight-x64.exe /qstart /wait %SystemDrive%\x64\MSU\Windows6.1-KB2533552-x64.msu /quiet /norestartstart /wait %SystemDrive%\x64\MSU\Windows6.1-KB2603229-x64.msu /quiet /norestartstart /wait %SystemDrive%\x64\EXE\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x64.exe /quiet /norestartren %SystemDrive%\x64\INSTALL-COMPLETE.ln_ INSTALL-COMPLETE.lnkcopy %SystemDrive%\x64\INSTALL-COMPLETE.lnk %PUBLIC%\DESKTOP\INSTALL-COMPLETE.lnkshutdown -r -f -t 10 This script must be imported in: %SystemDrive%\Windows\Setup\Scripts To implement this script I used WinToolkit All-In-One Integrator. and exacly this one: This will import x64 folder inside the complements one in the root of the system drive. For sure you need to organize a x64 and x86 folders with all needed. To get the job done smoothly I did a trick. I created a link on the desktop to point the SetupComplete01.cmd file into the CMD folder named INSTALL-COMPLETE.lnk and renamed it INSTALL-COMPLETE.ln_ to have the file imported. As you can see in the SetupComplete.cmd the last two commands rename back the file and put it on the desktop to have a simple link to the SetupComplete01.cmd that provides this final commands: @echo offreg delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v BrowserChoice /fdel /q %PUBLIC%\DESKTOP\*.lnkdel /q %USERPROFILE%\DESKTOP\*.lnkrd /s /q %SystemDrive%\Windows\Setup\Scripts\shutdown -r -f -t 10rd /s /q %SystemDrive%\x64\ This will clean up everything you have to clean up and ends smoothly the installation. I also did this tweaks configuration too: #ServicesIP Helper::DisabledOffline Files::Disabled#TweaksAdd 'Copy To Folder' to context-menuAdd 'Move To Folder' to context-menuAdd 'Open CMD here' to Folder Context-menuAdd 'Open Elevated CMD here' to Folder context-menuAdd 'Unpack' to *.msi context menuAdd 'Register' and 'Unregister' to *.dll, *.ocx and *.ax Context MenuAllow 3rd Party ThemesAlways Show Menu BarsDisable 8.3 Name CreationIncrease Icon CacheLaunch Folder Windows in a Separate ProcessRemove Shortcut SuffixShow Explorer StatusbarSpeed Up DesktopSpeed-up Access to AVI Media FilesChange CMD Text Color::Bright GreenEnable DVD in Media PlayerEnable SSL and TLSOpen NFO files with notepadShow Notepad StatusbarAlways Show Menu BarFaster Browsing in IE Launch Internet Explorer in Separate ProcessShow IE Statusbar::Show Status BarTurn On Clear TypeUnlimited Simultaneous DownloadsShutdown Quicker Windows 8.1 update 1 You can go alongside with Windows 7 sample. From now on the schema of the steps it’s the same for Windows 7 and Windows 8 so I will give only one sample of it. Clean up the images (optional) If you want, you can go one step forward and clean up all the images one by one. It’s a boring job but at the end you can have AIO ISOs files lighter of about 1 GB at least. These snapshots will give you how to do this job. You will start with WIM Manager You will mount the image you want to shrink You will launch the Cleanup Manager You will flag all You will go with Clean You will have all cleaned Then you will unmount the image. Then if you are going to do the same cleaning for other images you will simple save changes If it’s the latest image you have cleaned up you will save and rebuild. Create WINAIO x86 and x64 Now you’re done the full job and ready to create your ISO. If you want a full x86 and x64 AIO you will first go with: And you will create you WINAIO x86 and x64 folder Finally, you can create your ISO The job is done! P.S.You can accomplish the same kind of job using the same pattern for Windows Server 2008 R2 alongside with Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2012 R2 alongside with Windows 8.1 as they have each other most of the updates in common.
