Finding out the version/details of a Vista DVD without installing?

[vj8usa]

I downloaded and burned ISOs of Vista Business from my school a while back, but didn't label them too well. I vaguely recall accidentally downloading the 32 bit and 64 bit versions, and possibly the one that had SP1 as well as the vanilla one.

Is there some easy way to find out the details of the disc (32/64bit, SP1/no SP1) by just browsing its contents? I'd just reburn a new disc if I could, but I deleted the ISOs to save space (and I can't redownload now, since it's summer).

I thought you were asking about how to tell which SKU (ultimate, premium, biz) is on a disk.

I don't think you can tell x86/x64 and sp1 or not just by browsing the disk. You might be able to check if it's got SP1 by using vLite on the disk.

Oh, maybe the readme might say, but it could be the same readme file for all versions.

The Win7 DVDs have a volume label with "X" in it for the X64 version, and doesn't have an "X" in the x86 version.

vLite should be able to tell you.

Or you could install it in a virtual machine. (See MS Virtal PC or Sun VirtualBox.)

in the sources folder on the dvd there is a file called idwbinfo.txt and look at the line
BuildArch=amd64 = x64 and BuildArch=x86

for sp1 or not look at the details tab of the setup.exe and look at the file version for vista without sp1 it should be 6.0.6000.xxxxx and for sp1 it is 6.0.6001.xxxxx
or look at the volume label if you did not make custom ones. there should be an X in it for the 64-bit version
