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.

  • 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 to 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 one I don't know, I found a Windows 7 on the net which, after finishing the installation, asked me what to install daemon tools, nero, winrar, winzip, avira, avast, etc. many, many apps only in one DVD 4.7gb I kind of thought it would come out

  • Interesting! The first time I thought I didn't see well when I saw 70 minutes of the clip :)

    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, and 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

  • Thanks for the tutorial and the card for their efforts in achieving lui.Merita even tried to satisfaction of achieving something.

  • marius:
    How to download videotutorialele on this site? If you can.

    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 "what is in your hand is not a lie" mentality

    • 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.
