If u get error 123 the language indicator in the string
oscdimg.exe –bC:\expandedSetup\boot\etfsboot.com –u2 –h -m -lWIN_EN_DVD C:\expandedSetup\ C:\Win7.iso
It’s wrong!

Simply modify the part lWIN_EN_DVD in lWIN_XX_DVD where XX is the language of your copy of windows you have!

Please HELP.
Followed all instructions…unblocked the files run EXE and the expandeSetup folder was created, moved to drive C, oscdimg.exe is on system32 folder.
When I open CMD as admin by default it starts C:\Users\Orion>
should I change to C:\> ??

either
C:\Users\Orion>oscdimg.exe –bC:\expandedSetup\boot\etfsboot.com –u2 –h -m -lWIN_EN_DVD C:\expandedSetup\ C:\Win7.iso
or
C:\>oscdimg.exe –bC:\expandedSetup\boot\etfsboot.com –u2 –h -m -lWIN_EN_DVD C:\expandedSetup\ C:\Win7.iso

C:\windows\system32>oscdimg.exe –bC:\expandedSetup\boot\etfsboot.com –u2 –h -m -lWIN_EN_DVD C:\expandedSetup\ C:\Win7.iso

all gives me a similar error….
Scanning source tree
ERROR: Failure enumerating files in directory “C:\USERS\ORION\ûBC:\EXPANDEDSETUP
\BOOT\ETFSBOOT.COM\”
Error 123

Please what am I doing wrong?…enlighten me please.

When i try this, it says scanning source tree ERROR: failure enumerating files in directory "C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS... ERROR 123: the filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong? i copied your dos command so i'm guessing its to do with the path. i dont know enough to know what im doing wrong or what to do to change it?

Well .. I ran into another snag.. can’t believe this.. when I click the setup and its doing something to the box one file.. it gets to the end and says unable to write something … and says to make sure that read only is unchecked.. well I have a green square for the folder but unable to create or save new files in which this application was downloaded.. make sure you have security permission and that read only attribute is unchecked. I tried this command and it didn’t do squat : (
C:\>attrib -r -s C:\expandedSetup

Weird issue. Never heard of it! I just used the procedure I described and incurred in no issue. Honestly, I am clueless. I turn the question to my readers
