Well, my example, although a bit complex (although you can put it in a bat file and just double-click), creates bootable ISOs just fine (the -b flag sets the boot file).

Ah, okay, I didn't know you could do that. However, for something like this, I recommend the USB stick option, for the reasons mad_onion has just given.

well for just creating a bootable iso you can also use "vlite". do not do any modification with it & simply skip to create a iso, it works.

As ilovetech mentioned, you can use vLite to create an ISO and burn a bootable DVD.

Hmm vLite doesnt see the windows 7 WAIK installed. :(

don't use vLite with Win7 AIK

[ilovetech]

i haven't tried vlite with win7 AIK, but it worked perfectly with vista AIK even to create a win7 iso. if you install a vlite 1.1.6b & then upgrade to 1.2 version you do not even need wim filter (AIK) as it is included in 1.1.6b version. tehn you can just use vlite to create iso.

Easiest way is to use UltraISO import ur ISO image delete the ei.cfg then save the newly create image as Standard ISO then let the appz does the magic. The end result you'll get a bootable ISO image. Good luck :D
