How is this relevant? Haha. Its an informative post. You're right, I did not in fact provide a solution, just some information on the subject since I have been toiling over this issue myself. Slipstreaming used to work (Beta1) and I have a feeling that it will work in the near future. You've been able to slipstream every other IE install, and I'm sure this one will eventually be the same way. Good luck "putting in a ticket" to MS to make their installer work in a post install script though (which will probably be ignored)

The proper way to do this in Beta 1 was to slipstream using IE7BETA1-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe /INTEGRATE:D:\XPCD After Beta1 the /INTEGRATE switch disappeared, which has quite a few people in the ms newsgroups in wondering what happened. The best you can do is hope that nLite will be able to do it soon (tI've heard it will work in the next version) or hope that MS releases a new installer that will allow slipstreaming (/INTEGRATE switch) -jdhawk

So I've created a slipstream install DVD that uses GuiRunOnce to install all my apps, burned with Nero & the same boot sector that I have used in the past for slipstreamed CD's. Problem is everything seems a little slower despite having a 16xDVD drive. I figured burning a DVD would speed up access, but from the time I start the text install to the time I agree to the EULA and enter the partition screen is about 5 times longer than with a CD-R. I didnt add any drivers to the text only section of the setup, or modify it in any other way. I was just wondering is there a better boot image to use for DVD's that speeds everything up or are DVD's just going to be this slow. For the record my DVD drive is a NEC 3550A
