How to Create and Make Bootable Windows 7 ISO from EXE Plus Setup1.Box and Setup2.Box Files » My Digital Life

# Run the .exe executable as administrator. It starts to unload the box (extract and unpack the installation content), and will create a new folder called expandedSetup, and will populate the folder with all necessary Windows 7 setup files, as shown in figure below.

Content in ExpandedSetup Folder
# Exit from Install Windows wizard dialog.
# Download Oscdimg CD/DVD Premastering Utility: oscdimg.exe

Put the downloaded oscdimg.exe into %SystemDrive%\Windows\System32 folder.

Note: oscdimg is included in Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) as part of WinPE. So if you have that installed, there is no need to download the file again.
# Open an elevated command prompt as administrator, and run the following command:

oscdimg.exe –bC:\expandedSetup\boot\etfsboot.com –u2 –h -m -lWIN_EN_DVD C:\expandedSetup\ C:\Win7.iso
