    unsure Windows 7 deployment odd problem

    I`ve tried to make a custom install.wim file for deployment of Windows 7.
    After some reading it turned out that best way is to use Windows AIK, imagex, and sysprep. (although, only sysprep and acronis true image, or any other backup and imaging software work just fine). I've made two .wim files with preinstalled software, one 32 and one 64 bit version of Windows 7 Ultimate. Ended up with around 10GB install.wim file wich contains both versions. With diskpart and bootsect created bootable 16GB flash drive. Now..... everithing works fine except that i have invisible entries on the screen where you have to choose which OS you want to install. You are able to select and install any of the two positions in the menu but you can't see wich one is 32 or 64 bit.
    Any ideas how to fix this.
    .... oh yes, sorry for my english

    I think that you can deploy any valid .wim file with imagex. You are free to use the tool you want to deploy windows.

    Example of use from Microsoft: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...d.1001%29.aspx

    Yes i know. But using imagex involves also WindowsPE, diskpart and typing long commands. Of course you can use some scripting (diskpart supports it) to automate part of the process but that's not the point.
    Even though, thank you for the replay James.
