Create ISO image with Windows 7 and pre-installed applications using WinPE and ImageX - video tutorial

Hello friends, today's tutorial we will continue what we started two days ago. Specifically, we'll see how we do with Windows ISO image after 7 7 Windows operating system already installed. That means our ISO image will contain all our favorite software and all settings.
In the first part of this topic We will show how to prepare the ground in order to move forward with what we do in this tutorial and tutorial to follow. Once obtained bootable environment created under the first tutorial winpe_x86.iso image or burn a CD or winpe_x64.iso can make a bootable stick that contains the image files.
Furthermore, after making the preferred settings in Windows 7 and after installing all the preferred applications we will have to use SysPrep to pack everything and then boot from our bootable environment created according to the first tutorial. I chose to "arrange" a Windows 7 installed in the VMware Player virtual machine, I installed some favorite applications there and I also made some settings in the operating system, settings that I usually make every time I install the operating system. Windows 7. I will use this Windows 7 installed in VMware Player to generate the custom ISO image with Windows 7. It doesn't matter that I use a virtual environment because the custom ISO image will be universal, it will not contain the drivers but only my favorite software and system settings, so I can install the custom ISO image on any computer or laptop. If you have weaker hardware and cannot use a virtual machine then you can use your own computer or laptop to generate the custom ISO image with Windows 7.
Now that we've clarified these issues, you'll need to consider the fact that the more applications you have installed in Windows 7 (from the virtual machine or the real system), the bigger the custom ISO image will be. Don't get carried away and install only the strictly necessary applications. In case of contract, you will be unable to burn the custom ISO image on a DVD or make a bootable USB stick with a capacity of 4 GB. It should also be borne in mind that the C partition of the system after which we will make the custom ISO image must have enough free space because the bootable environment with which we will create the image, will save the custom "instal.wim" image in the C partition of the Windows operating system. 7 already installed.
Booting from the bootable environment (winpe_x86.iso or winpe_x64.iso) we will actually generate a file called "install.wim" (Windows Imaging Format) file that we will find in any bootable USB stick or ISO image with Windows 7. This file is a proprietary image that the windows set-up undoes and places on our hard drive when we install the operating system. The "install.wim" file can be found in the "sources" folder of any official ISO image.
Once the "install.wim" file is generated according to this video tutorial using the bootable environment, it will be found in partition C of the Windows 7 operating system that we have installed and after which we made the "install.wim" image. Next we need ISO image of Windows 7 I used it to install Windows 7 them (in PC virtual machine or real) that we have set and we installed favorite applications liking. Importantly, the ISO image we need now necessarily be the same one used when I installed Windows 7 them (the virtual machine or PC real) that we have set and we installed all favorite applications .
In my case I installed Windows 7 Enterprise in virtual machine so I will use ISO image with Windows 7 Enterprise. The next step is to make a bootable USB stick with it using WinToFlash or 7 Windows USB / DVD Download Tool then go to the "sources" folder on the bootable stick, identify the existing file called "install.wim", delete it and replace it with the file "install.wim" located in partition C of the Windows 7 operating system already installed which I generated using the winpe_x86.iso bootable environment in my case.
If the "install.wim" file generated with the bootable stick is larger than 4 GB, you will need to use a larger capacity USB stick.
If the “install.wim” file generated with the bootable environment is less than 4 GB, you can “undo” the ISO image (Windows 7 Enterprise in my case) with PowerISO, navigate to the “sources” folder, identify the “install.wim” file in the folder, delete it and replace it with the "install.wim" file generated by you. Remaining in PowerISO, save the ISO image and then make a bootable DVD with these.
If you do not own a USB drive, external hard drive or SD card that fit your project or ISO image finals and personalized boggles 4.7 GB DVD then you will need to install Windows custom network thing we do tutorial to follow.
That said, I invite you to watch the tutorial to see exactly how we make ISO images personalized by a Windows 7 already installed, ISO image that will allow us to install Windows 7 which will contain our applications favorite and settings in the system operating.

  1. Yes, it works, but I was expecting something, when I install windows 7 while it is installed when it reaches windows finalizing to start the software to be installed, each in turn say office 2007… installing, cclaner…. instaling, etc. I wanted something like this, I thought it would come out in this tutorial, but 🙁 you have to install the apps and after me I didn't want to, so if I get a virus without a mistake I ruined everything when I make an image of 7, so the first option it was different. I don't know, I found a Windows 7 on the net which, after finishing the installation, asks me what to install daemon tools, nero, winrar, winzip, avira, avast etc. many, many apps in a single 4.7gb DVD. That's how I thought it would turn out

    Yes go so, but I was expecting something when you install Windows 7 while Windows installs it reaches finalizing begin to install software, each in turn to say ... Installing 2007 office, cclaner .... instaling, etc. So I wanted what I was thinking he would get in this tutorial, but you must install you apps sites and after I did not want so if you take a virus sin mistake I blew it when I picture 7, so the first version was otherwise. I do not know I found a Windows 7 the net after you finish installing asked me to install daemon tools, nero, WinRAR, WinZip, Avira, avast etc. More and more apps only in one DVD 4.7gb. So I thought it would get

    No big deal to download alicatiile that you must be in a folder, its net disconnect the system installed in the virtual machine and then you start to install software.
    The resulting image to me so great because the Microsoft Office suite.
    However, I guarantee you that during installation of the operating system customized in the manner described in the tutorial will be much shorter than what you want to do.
    If we take it like this, the environment from which you make the customized system as you say you have one, can be infected and the virus can easily reach the "project" until you close the customized ISO image so…. draw your own conclusions.
    The method presented by me is not official and third party software use. is the method used by OEMs

  4. excellent tutorial but it can do the same operation and windows 8 not ready yet know just ask

    If you want to download them means that you want to steal our work and we disagree with that.
    You have nothing to download them as long as you can access our website 24 hours 24, 7 7 days.
    Our tutorials are and will remain free and will not charge for access to or viewing their site.
    I do not understand why you want to occupy the space on your hard drive anyway if we pay a server to hold it for you and you can watch anytime.
    Try to get rid of the mentality coat "what's in your hand does not lie"

    • I want to download because where I spend most of the time I have internet access, I just PC. And in addition, if all are free on the internet, why would you mind if I download and store them on a CD to access them you just do not have access to the internet? Fur will not work, I just wanted them to have access to the internet where I (80% of my time). Sorry you misunderstood.

  12. The simplest method.
    Get a DVD with original and licensed Windows and install it. Then, go to the Ninite automatically install and you close all programs that you nevoie.Cu updates from Microsoft takes about 45 min ... and ready! I think today, who has a PC or laptop, has net.

    Yes, only there are commercial applications such as the Microsoft Office suite, Adobe Photoshop, Autocad that third-party sites do not offer you (Ninite… by the way, we also have a video tutorial about Ninite) and then you have to integrate them…

  14. Interesting tutorial… but I don't like that the user account remains. I want to be able to install it on anyone without leaving my "fingerprint". I thought that something like what CtrlSoft did (Windows 7 with Office 2010) came out, it didn't have any account created, as if it were the original image. imagex and Dism I used in CMD to integrate x64 in WIM x86 (I keep both variants on the same stick) and Romanian over the English version (to be able to choose at installation, that some prefer Romanian, others English and take longer to take language pack after).

  15. Yes I liked it! All my appreciations are superlative. For my part tutorial reached its goal. But I do not I would install programs that remain in Windows version since installation. So at a certain interval of time it must be made different picture if I want to be updated with software.
    A complete customization, "from the roots" could be done first with GImageX, or RT7Lite (poorer in options) then proceed as above. He "accepted" the movie, very good! Adrian, by the way, with Power ISO trial, can you handle images larger than 300MB? That Magic ISO (that's what I use) doesn't let you… I know the answer… but I liked the "flash" at the time! OK, good health!

  16. A very successful tutorial! Thanks!

    Yes you are right… the tutorial is successful and very well explained

  18. Interesting but more interesting was the fact that due to this video tutorial I had to reinstall my windows, I followed all the steps, without forgetting anything, without giving me any error but after the "capture" stage and that restart does not enter me in windows (instead of welcome I receive the message failed to load configuration, restart pc to resume setup configuration and give close restart the pc and so on and repeat, I am not unconscious like others who have no idea and I repeated the operations itself 3 times to make sure everything will be ok and 3 times I viewed the video tutorials.

  19. To correct myself "…… to be *…." and to add one more mention: I did the stupid thing of not doing all this work in vmware but as I said I was 100% sure that nothing bad would happen.

  20. hello, I recently came across a program called tweak me '… ..it's for windows optimization ………… if you can make a tutorial about this little software and good in my opinion :), thank you!

  21. Bebi:
    A very successful tutorial! Thanks!

    Yes, you are right… the tutorial is very successful and well explained 🙂

      First, that HDD WDC Red 1TB are only pt. NAS storage, which means NAS (Network Attached Storage) HDD that is good, but if you want your Windows on it do not try for. He has 5400RPM pt. to be silent. Those HDDs are only for storage, you can use as external hdd. HDDs are some very quiet. It depends on what you want to do with it

  23. Great tutorial! This is exactly what we are looking for long: iso image with everything in my Windows. Very good!

    I don't know which side you didn't understand. We do not agree with their download and cannot be downloaded. The fact that you do not have internet does not concern us… unfortunately we cannot deliver internet services to you.
    It's like going to the store to buy a loaf of bread and tell the saleswoman, you know, I don't have money.
    No money, do not get bread, it's simple. The fact that you have an excuse (lack of money) do you think will be the reason that you deserve bread without paying for it?
    The net today is cheap and on all roads…

  30. I have a solution for how Marius internet access. You can use a portable internet stick. Orange and Vodafone in advance if you have a mobile subscription. Or Cosmote or Digi (RDS) only bulletin contactless home and have previously without a voice subscription. The cheapest is the 9 euros, VAT included and ensures you get up to speed 2Gb 21Mbs then drops to 128 Kbps speed. All are free of charge. I stick to vodafone internet and can watch tutorials from home.

  31. Too complicated man. Something just does not exist? Way some tutorials are too old, many applications are different from what ereau 2,3.4 years ago so these tutorials no longer correspond to reality I think it would be necessary to update them.

    • and… .if they have changed, do you really catch your ears in them and fail to use them after watching the tutorial? or you are simply too lazy to think a little and you want everything to die in your mouth!?… ..

  32. and I will bother with a question:
    I put the CD of 140 mb result of the first tutorial in drive and got to have ticked box sysprep generalize command, gave the shutdown command and ok 10 seconds after I gave ERROR FATALA.aveti idea why not go ?? but there had to stick the cD in the drive until after the finish operation ??? ??? sysprep how do ??? please ajutati.va Thank you.

    Everything you need to do in the video tutorial has already been explained. You probably have problems with Windows because your "preparation" of SysPrep doesn't work

  34. the question was simple: I give sysprep tr CD with ImageX in unit ???

  35. da su not? It's hard to write or not ???

  36. to me it reaches sysprep and from there it gives me “A fatal error ocurred while trying to sysprep the machine” dc gave me this error, so far it went perfectly

  37. I 7 have Windows X32
    AAM successful steps in the tutorial NR1 ALL THAT IS CREATING WINPEX32
    When running Sysprep tool tells me ,, fatal error when trying to Sysprep tool EXECUTION IN COMPUTER ,,
    SOMEONE HAS A SOLUTION ??

  38. johnny_computers said

    Solving the problem "A fatal error ocurred while trying to sysprep the machine"
    Ctrl + Shift + Esc -> services
    search for WMPNetworkSvc -> right click -> stop services

    As Adrian said in tutorial, there is a bug on Windows Media Player.

    Thank you.

  43. Very good tutorial. At first it did not work because we have not identified correctly with Windows partition. It works, modified OS is tested and functional result.

  44. I also tried a few weeks after you presented the tutorial (November 2012) and I was hurt. When I run sysprep, the "" fatal error error appears when trying to run the Sysprep tool on the computer ""

    Hello!
    Even though it's been a long time since this tutorial was done but I want to ask you, is there any possibility for windows 10?
    I searched the internet but found nothing. Maybe there's something but another name.
    I am waiting for an answer….
