Difference between 4074 and 4074 Professional

[KCLiVES]

Anyone care to enlighten me please?

[Rob Jansen]

AFAIK, 4074 is always professional.

Betas of longhorn before beta 1 were or server or professional.

[Namronia]

isnt it possible to convert to even media center edition? or server?

i saw that once with 3683, "3683 Media Center Edition", the work of tweaknt

[Rob Jansen]

I can be converted just like a windows xp.
But the question was, what was the difference between 4074 and 4074 professional.

[KCLiVES]

If theres no difference why is the Prof version ~300mb and ordinary ~700mb

[Rob Jansen]

I think that your ~300MB iso is not complete or its corrupt.

The install.wim of 4074 (from the ftp) is about 725MB.

[Namronia]

i think he means the x64 bit version which IS just about 300mb...

its complete but has no winpe setup and thats why its so much smaller

[KCLiVES]

Ah right, on the server its just listed as Professional.

[Rob Jansen]

Oh do you mean the x64?

Please write that the next time in your question then we can answer your question faster and with more precision.

Professional on Servers is a missnamed x64 4074

its complete but has no winpe setup and thats why its so much smaller

My copy of 4074 x64 is 694MB big...

i wouldn't worry about it, so is mine: 694 MB (728,741,888 bytes)

[XDude]

actually
longhorn professional build 4074 is the 32bit build
longhorn professional for extended 64bit system build 4074 is the 64bit build

it isn't really labeled wrong, but not label fully

4074 x86 is 733 MB while x64 is 694 MB
but x86 is an imaged build while x64 is a traditional extract and copy installation
4083 is an imaged build reducing the build by ~60 MB

Builds 3718 to 4047 (tested but lost the iso's ) can be converted to Home Edition or to [Web, Enterprise, Standard] Server with TweakNT, BUT it will say you have a bad product key for some editions.
Here is an example running on XP SP2 (2600, final):

I don't know if it is legal to upload - could a moderator help with this?

i believe thats how some of the cracks worked for 4029 (convert to home or something)

but you can also use pidgen.dll in early versions and install it with for example xp mce 05 key, this also works with vista final, use pidgenx.dll from 5744 or later betas and replace it with finals one so you can use beta serials

Can you activate Vista if it's been installed using this method?

got a legal vista so yes

but i tested it just for fun

oh edit, yes, you can theoretically activate, but youll get a timebomb

So do I, just wanted to know...

[Hackerpcs]

Timebomb can't be removed from Windows Server 2008 RC1 - I think the same will happen in Vista Betas and RCs:


P.S.: TweakNT has nothing to do with activation. Longhorn can be activated using one more file - not only with TweakNT. As someone said above it needs also some .dll files to activate Vista.

[TheWahbinator]

Wrong, it's not pidgen(x).dll, that never determined keys in the first place. You have to replace pkeyconfig.xrm-ms from a beta disc (MS disabled this through a hotfix anyway)

Also that file is kind of similar to XP's setupp.ini

[Hackerpcs]

I haven't tested, i don't contradict you.

[WZR_Fuhrer-Adolf]

Actually, almost all the Windows NT can be converted to the other editions with the help of Tweak NT correctly, but it's only on you personal to test all the issues
