    My company requires that we deploy laptops with 1 basic drive and 2 VHD's, because of software incompatibility running on the same installation.  When deploying the VHD's and copying the install.wim from my Windows 7 Ultimate Install disk, the resulting VHD's are Windows 7 Home editions and not the Ultimate that I need.  Can anyone explain why the WIM on the disk is home and not the other version?  If so, how do I get these VHD's running the heavier version?

    There are diffrent indexes in the wim files for differents skus.

    So you should apply the index for ultimate which is index 5 for x86 and index 4 for x64.

    Like this: imagex /apply D:\sources\install.wim 5 X:\

    Do you have a list of the index translations?  ie. 1 for Home etc..
