From my previous post of Winows 7 Direct Dowload links leaked, many of my readers requested me to provide a tutorial for making an ISO disc from the EXE, Setup1.box and Setup2.box Files , so that it would be an easier task for them to make clean and fresh install on their system.

Thanx to DigitalLife, I am here by providing a tutorial for creating an ISO image from the 3 downloaded files from MS server.

To create a bootable disc from the downloaded files simply follow these steps:

• Copy all the 3 downloaded files (the .exe, setup1.box and setup2.box) in one single drive  (for this tutorial, let’s assume the files are put in Drive C  i.e. C:\ ).
• Right click on each of three files, select Properties, and then click on Unblock button to prevent files from unable to be accessed. Click OK when done.
  
• Run the exe (if on Vista on windows 7 RC or RTM or OEM run the exe as administrator by right click and select “RUN as ADMINISTRATOR”), the exe will extract the .box files and will create a new folder with name “expandedSetup” consisting Windows 7 setup files.
• Exit from Install Windows wizard dialog.
• Check for the oscdimg.exe %SystemDrive%\Windows\System32 folder. If you don’t have any such file in your System32 folder, than download it by clicking here, and put it in %SystemDrive%\Windows\System32 folder.
  
• Now Open the command prompt (with administrative privileges in Vista /in XP command prompt opens with administrative privileges by default) . To open command prompt :

1. Click on Start button.
2. Locate the Command Prompt menu item (inside Accessories under All Programs).
3. Click on Command Prompt (in XP) for Vista : Right click on Command Prompt.
4. On the pop-up right click context menu, select “Run as Administrator”.

• In the command prompt run the following command:
  oscdimg.exe –bC:\expandedSetup\boot\etfsboot.com –u2 –h -m -lWIN_EN_DVD C:\expandedSetup\ C:\Win7.iso

  If the code doesn't work use :

  oscdimg -bC:\expandedSetup\boot\etfsboot.com -h -u2 -m -lWIN_EN_DVD C:\expandedSetup\ C:\win7.iso
  
For 64-bit version if the above two commands doesn't work! use :

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

  

• All work is done, a bootable ISO DVD image is created in your C:/ Drive named “Win7.iso” . Now, use any CD/DVD burning software like Nero, Ultra ISO , Alcohol 120% or any other, to burn the image in a DVD disc.

Note: – The complete tutorial assumes that all the 3 files (the .exe and Setup1.box and Setup2.box files) are put in the C Drive i.e. C:\ of your system ( as the command run from the command prompt in the last step uses the path as C:\. If you wish to put files in some different directory or folder, you need to modify the path in command you going to run in command prompt. If you are not familiar with cmd commands, I would suggest you to follow the tutorial step by step and put all 3 files in your C:\ only.

Enjoy, your genuine copy of DVD disc. For any queries or problems faced in the tutorial use the comment box.

October 22 was the date, when Windows 7 retail was finally launched by Microsoft but being a bit preservative, Microsoft never makes available official download links that allow retail customers to download setup installer. Inspite of all their efforts, the direct download links to download Windows 7 are leaked. The installation files of Windows 7 are hosted on msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent.net server owned by Digital River (the delivery partners for Vista) . The Windows 7 installation files are meant as a way of ESD (Electronic Software Distribution).

The Windows 7 setup installer package comes in 3 parts, which is an executable that starts the extraction or unpacking and installation process, plus setup1.box and setup2.box. After extracting all content to a folder named ExpandedSetup, the installation files should be the same with what contains on a DVD.

Note: If you receive corrupted/incomplete files,better use a download manager like Free Download Manager to download, as the server seems to close connection once the size reaches 2 GB.

After downloading the files, simply double click on the executable, e.g. Win7-P-Retail-en-us-x86.exe to start unloading the box and to install Windows 7. Note that 3 files must be put together in the same directory. You still need a product key to activate installed Windows 7.

The 3 files doesn’t provide any bootable ISO file which you could burn to make a disc.

To make a bootable disc using the 3 downloaded files go through my Tutorial to Create and Make a Bootable Windows 7 ISO DVD from EXE plus Setup1.box and Setup2.box Files

Also, if you want to extract all editions/versions of Windows 7(i.e. Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate) from the downloaded 3 files, you must go through Tutorial to extract all editions or versions(SKU) of Windows 7 from downloaded Windows 7 ISO made from EXE plus Setup1.box and Setup2.box Files.
