- How to Download a Vista ISO and Create an Installation DVD or USB
From what i'm reading; i'm assuming you're talking about a SLIPSTREAMED VISTA CD/DVD containing all the necessary OEM install media (VISTA x64/x86, Starter, Home Basic, Premium, Business, Ultimate) WITH all the Service Packs and KB's preinstalled and updated as recent as possible INSIDE the ISO. I need Vista Home Premium OEM iso file. I cant find it at Acer. I see no download link for Vista HP OEM there. My System Specs System. Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium is a complete operating system with better security and improved performance to fulfill the basic needs. This free download of Home Premium is the complete standalone ISO Image installer for genuine OEM version for both 32bit and 64bit architecture.
This tutorial will show you how to create a Vista ISO file, and how to create a Vista installation DVD or USB from the ISO file.
How to Download a Vista ISO and Create an Installation DVD or USB
Downloads are available for the 32 (X86) and 64 bit (X64) versions of Vista Ultimate only, in English, French and German, but if, during the install, you do not enter the product key when initially prompted for it then you will be asked to select the version of Vista you want to install. It can be any of these four:
Windows Vista Home Basic
Windows Vista Business
You must have a valid installation key, which should be on the COA sticker on the computer, to activate the installation once it completes.
To Download the Vista Setup Files
The Vista downloads listed below seem to come and go. Right now, 10/12/2014 at 3:39PM EST they are available. I don't know of any other location they are legally available from, sorry.
1. Downloaded the Vista X64 or X86 setup files.
X64 (64 bit):
boot.wim
install.wim
X14-63452.exe
Both X14-63453.exe and X14-63452.exe will be downloaded as MicrosoftInstaller.exe. For consistency, please rename MicrosoftInstaller.exe to X14-63453.exe or X14-63452.exe, depending on which you downloaded.
Wait for all downloads to complete before continuing
2. Double click (or right click and Open) on the downloaded X14-63453.exe or X14-63452.exe. It extracts all the files into a Vista sub-folder.
3. If they are not already there, copy boot.wim and install.wim into the Vistasources folder that is created when you doubled clicked on the .exe file in step 2.
4. Download the Windows Bootable Image Creator zip file, WBICreator.zip.
5. Extract the files in WBICreator.zip to a folder.
To Create the Vista ISO File
You can download the files on any computer but you must be running on a 64bit (X64) system to create a 64Bit install DVD or flash drive
6. Open the folder and double click (or right click and Open) WBICreator.exe
7. Click Next

12. Click GO. When done a VistaX64.iso or VistaX86.iso file will be created in the Output Path you chose.

I created a X86 flash drive and used it to install a clean copy of Vista Home Basic on my HP DV2200 Laptop. Worked great using the key on the COA sticker of the laptop.
Remember to activate after the install has completed.
Note: You may need to download drivers for the computer from the manufacturers web site so I would suggest getting the Network (LAN and Wireless) and video/VGA drivers ahead of time so you can install them as soon as you finish installing Vista.
