Make ISO from ESD files

[robinbredin]

Hi, I have my windows 8 download files in a ESD folder which contains a number of files. Is it possible to create a win 8 ISO from those files, If so how.

Run the assistant again and choose install from media.

The upgrade assistant, won't let me run it again.

You're doing it from within Windows 8 Enterprise evaluation?

If your email is corrupt like mine was, I then used this link given to me by Microsoft, www.mswos.com

Used ImgBurn to create an ISO of the c:\ESD\Windows\ contents, then used rufus_v1.2.0 to create a bootable USB pen drive from the ISO (or burn a disk in imgburn). then boot to the USB drive or dvd.

This is true, I made a USB stick but then I desperately needed it for something else after install. Go through the link in the order email and download again, and save as an .iso when you reach that screen. I did this on the same computer I installed win 8 pro on.

if you have the ESD folder you do not need to re-download. I created an ISO from it and did a fresh install with no problems.

Yep, I just did a clean install over my windows 7 install so all the files were gone anyway!
