EDIT: I assume you unblocked all 3 downloaded files before you ran the setup? Rt click each file >Properties>Unblock>Apply>OK.
I just downloaded the Student Version of Windows 7 Pro 32 bit. There is no etfsboot.com file on my hard drive. Some instructions say to get Windows AIK for Windows 7. Can I just grab the file from there?
Why am I having to go find a file to get the installation to work? Bad omen for Windows 7?
Hi tblount,
If they are getting error messages, I am afraid they are not doing it right - or they have a corrupt download, or bad burn.
Were you able to make bootable .iso from the windows installation files using UltraIso?
I had no idea it could cope with the non standard etfsboot.com. That must be a new feature.
Thanks for the info.
Yes, I looked there and do a drive-wide search. etfsboot.com was not on my hard drive. (If you do a Google search, you will see that I am not the only person who did not have it.)It would not be possible for you to create a bootable .iso from the installation files without etfsboot.com.
Many many many people have done it over the last few hours.
Did you look in the expandedsetup folder inside the folder called boot - there it should be.

As I said, since adding etfsboot.com to the boot folder, everything appears to be working. It's way past bedtime here, so it will be this weekend before I can test the image.
Thanks for the info - most people have etfsboot.com, certainly - so not sure what happened to yours.I found it on the Internet, downloaded it into the same folder as the box files, ran the command file,
