How on earth could Microsoft not have forseen this problem ?
I have therefore unpacked all the required files into the Expanded SetUp folder. However, I have been unable to create an ISO from these files using the instructions advised here : Make bootable iso from student d/l - Windows 7 Forums
Running the command prompt gives the following result :
C:\Documents and Settings\Jude>C:\WINDOWS\system32\Oscdimg.exe -u2 -bC:\Users\Jude\Desktop\expandedSetup\boot\etfsboot .com -h C:\Users\Jud\Desktop\expandedSetup C:\7.iso

Error 123: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
Does anyone please have any idea either what the problem is or advise an alternative way of creating an ISO from the fles in the Expanded Folder ?
Thank You |
I had the same problem and could not find an answer. Move the downloaded files from your desktop to the C Drive root and then when on the command prompt, instead of typing C:/Users/Jude/Desktop just type C:/
This worked for me. Let me know if you have any more problems
