LEGAL Windows 7 Download Links (Just like Vista before!!!)

'WIN_EN_DVD' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Hmmm.

EDIT:
Nevermind, I figured it out. The -lWIN_EN_DVD is a lowercase L, not a |. OP, you might want to make that clear for those of us who aren't savvy in the command prompt, like me.

I added a little note that indicates this

Extracting the setup1 and setup2 boxes for Win7 64-bit on my Vista 32-bit caused the "Unloading the box" problem as soon as the extraction was complete. The expandedSetup folder was created fine though. Is the extraction really complete or are there some parts missing?

Can someone confirm the size and number of files in the extracted directory? I having the exact same issue as listed above. I've tried running this on both XP and Vista machine with the same results, error displayed immediately upon completion. Would like to know if this file is good or not. I am trying this with the 64-bit version posted here.

Edit: Question - Is the issue that I downloaded the 64bit executable but am attempting to run it on 32 bit XP and 32 bit Vista?

These values are for the English files:

the expandedSetup folder for x64 contains 873 files, 199 folders and is 3.01GB (with the ei.cfg file removed)

the expandedSetup folder for x86 contains 873 files, 200 folders and is 2.34GB (with the ei.cfg file removed)

Perfect! Thank you, it seems I have all the files. ISO burning now. This is good and bad as now my rest of the day is shot installing this This is good as I have a slightly older system (motherboard) that really want to test before dropping the cash for the actual disc.

I'm glad it worked for you
I added a little part in the instructions that tells people to check the number of files and folders if they get an error

You get the error message just for the reason indicated in your Edit. The downloaded file tries to execute after the make/extraction process but cannot run the 64bit executable on a 32bit machine. The 32bit executable does not give an error as you would expect. It took me a few minutes myself to figure out why I got the error message.
