Hello,

is it possible to create windows 7 PE cd *x64* version? I tried win7pe for winbuilder, but it threw error about not supporting x64 source files.

Reason is, I want to try my system compatibility with x64 bit OS. At very least, x64 XP would do..

i'm open to any ideas!

thanks!

ok, I've tried that way, but I failed. First of all, if I try to run DISM from amd64 dir, it, obviously, does not run, as I'm on a x86 system.

but even if I try it from x86 dir, it still fails:

CODE

C:>DISM.exe /Mount-Wim /WimFile:C:\PE\winpe_x86\ISO\sources\boot.wim /index:1 /MountDir:C:\PE\winpe_x86\mount

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 6.1.7100.0

Error: 87

The mount-wim option is unknown.
For more information, refer to the help by running DISM.exe /?.

The DISM log file can be found at C:\WINDOWS\Logs\DISM\dism.log

I can't believe noone has tried to make x64 PE disc..?

What happens if you run DISM.exe /?

From what you write the /Mount-Wim option is not recognized.

Check this:
http://www.wincert.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=4939

Where is DISM.EXE on your hard disk?

Would it be possible that running it from C:\ you are actually running another version (that does not support the /Wim_Mount option)?

CODE

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 6.1.7100.0

DISM.exe [dism_options] {WIM_command} [<WIM_arguments>]
DISM.exe {/Image:<path_to_offline_image> | /Online} [dism_options]
         {servicing_command} [<servicing_arguments>]

DESCRIPTION:

  DISM enumerates, installs, uninstalls, configures, and updates features
  and packages in Windows images. The commands that are available depend
  on the image being serviced and whether the image is offline or running.

IMAGE SPECIFICATIONS:

  /Online                 - Targets the running operating system.
  /Image                  - Specifies the path to the root directory of an
                            offline Windows image.

DISM OPTIONS:

  /English                - Displays command line output in English.
  /Format                 - Specifies the report output format.
  /WinDir                 - Specifies the path to the Windows directory.
  /SysDriveDir            - Specifies the path to the system-loader file named
                            BootMgr.
  /LogPath                - Specifies the logfile path.
  /LogLevel               - Specifies the output level shown in the log (1-4).
  /NoRestart              - Suppresses automatic reboots and reboot prompts.
  /Quiet                  - Suppresses all output except for error messages.
  /ScratchDir             - Specifies the path to a scratch directory.

For more information about these DISM options and their arguments, specify an
option immediately before /?.

  Examples:
    DISM.exe /Mount-Wim /?
    DISM.exe /ScratchDir /?
    DISM.exe /Image:C:\test\offline /?
    DISM.exe /Online /?

See how /Mount-Wim is listed in help example but not in option list..?

I'm running it from correct directory..

Yep, but I also see how the post I linked too seems like having a different output.

Does this ring any bell?:

How to get DISM?
Mount your Windows 7 and go to the System32 folder of the ofline image, and copy the "DISM" folder and "DISM.exe" to your Vista System32 folder.
Register the dll's inside(Some cant be registered)

Dll's :

CbsProvider.dll
CompatProvider.dll
DismCore.dll
DismCorePS.dll
DismProv.dll
DmiProvider.dll
IntlProvider.dll
MsiProvider.dll
SmiProvider.dll
UnattendProvider.dll
WimProvider.dll

and this:

QUOTE

For x64 users, you also have to grab the "SysWOW64" folder and the "DISM.exe" from there.

does any of the above apply to your case?

On bootland there is a project that is BOTH x32 and x64 based:
http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=4431
http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=7053

And a newish Windows 7 based "PE 3.0" project, see here:
http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=6702

I think matters are still very experimental, but several ideas are out there and people are working on it:
http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showforum=76

Cannot say if they can be of help/use.
