I suspect (but I only guess
) that you cannot use a DVD created as a “Vista-AIO” as source - because this type of DVD is “optimised” – this means that files from Vista-32 and Vista-64 are partly “cloned” together (mixed you may say), which isn’t that smart 
Please test with using a “clean” Vista-DVD (only holding Vista32). And\or the same for Vista-64.
For the record – no problems with your English

@har123Welcome to this forum @har123
As you already done; copy everything from Win7 (from ISO-file or DVD) to EasyBoot\disk1
Create menu and use command: run vistaldr.bin
For WinXP; Copy everything from WinXP-CD (or from ISO or whatever) to folder EasyBoot\disk1
Note: you now have a problem. File “autorun” and file “setup.exe” is most likely already copied to Easyboot\disk1 (from Win7 source).
You can rename setup.exe used in WinXP to setup_XP.exe to make it possible to manually start upgrade from Win98\WinME to WinXP – in case you like to have this option. Skip copying autorun from WinXP-source to EasyBoot\disk1.
Create menu and use command: run w2ksect.bin (you can rename w2ksect.bin to something like setupxp.bin and change command in menu to; run setupxp.bin).
Note: File w2ksect.bin and file vistaldr.bin should be in folder ezboot (it’s a part of EasyBoot).
You do not need to run uppercase i for make above to work
Attention! Do not check; “Allow lower case”, “DOS(8.3)” or “Joliet” when creating ISO.
