If you've downloaded the RTM version of Windows 7 and for some reason DONT want the Ultimate edition, there's an easy way to choose upon installation.
It does involve editing the image prior to burning, so you'll need a program like MagicISO or PowerISO to do that.
Once you open up the ISO image, you have two choices:
a) Delete iso://sources/ei.cfg (Easiest)
Save and burn the image. When the installer runs, it will ask you which version you wish to install.
Now you're done :)
b) Modify iso://sources/ei.cfg to set the default (Harder)
This will change the default installation and will not prompt you what version you wish to install.
Extract ei.cfg to a temporary location and edit it with Notepad. The default values for ei.cfg are:
[EditionID]
Ultimate
[Channel]
Retail
[VL]
0
Change the values to any of the possible values:
- EditionID
"Ultimate", "Professional", "HomePremium", "HomeBasic" or "Starter". - Channel
"Retail" or "OEM" - VL (Volume License)
"1" (true) or "0" (false)
Once thats done, update the image and burn it.
