    7Customizer - a Windows 7 Customization and Deployment tool

    in Unattended Windows 7/Server 2008R2

    Posted

    Hi,

    Regarding the addons I've already downloaded some from here (.wa files) and others from here (.exe files)

    Regards

    Hi coucou!

    About Addons.

    I've made some search and I've tried Windows 7 Toolkit. You must be member to download the software!

    It's only with English language!

    It's really a nice software, like an "American knife" (like Swiss knife, I mean!) made by Legolash2o. :thumbup

    I've tried the last one, version 0.7.0.50 on my Computer Windows 7 Ultimate. I've used "W7T" - at last -! after applying updates, language packs and tweaks with 7Customizer.

    All works fine and the addons successfuly integrated!

    I've integrated French Addons (I've an French Windows 7) and I've made an ISO file with Windows 7 Toolkit! Works perfectly!

    I've tried also the version 0.5.0.42 Alpha (W7TAlpha.msi), it was successfuly, but I've found some problems (dont use at first because after it's impossible to "mount" the Image)!!

    But the ISO file created with 7Customizer, at the first test and using correctly W7TAlpha.msi, works perfectly, also!!

    And if you want to mount a new time your Image with 7Customizer: Uninstall W7T 0.5.0.42 Alpha.

    *Its' just an advice: don't integrate "Ux_Theme_Patch_1.1.wa (French addon), don't work!

    It will be not integrated, but the installation is OK for Windows!

    I will made a new tutorial for Windows 7 Toolkit, I think.

    Regards

    Thanks for the good feedback, however you no longer have to be a member to download it, you should try the new 0.8.0.20 Beta, it already has over 80 changes, including component removal :P

    Integration aborted

    in vLite

    Wimfltr causes the problem, i cannot install updates using pkgmgr or DISM while it is installed. Uninstall it and restart your computer to get dism working but vlite will prompt you to install wimfltr. Its a shame vlite doesn't use DISM to mount/save, then it wont need wimfltr.

    Performance Comparison Vista SP2 vs. Windows 7 6801

    in Windows 7

    Posted

    I remove a hell of a lot of components using vlite (i only keep about 5-6 things with extreme, paint, notepad, .NET and a few others) with the current installation of Windows 7 6801... it runs at the same performance of my vista vlited install with is great! Did i forget to mention that it is a non-vlited install of Windows 7

    so what's was that? Or i read it wrong? :wacko:

    I remove a lot of components with windows vista...... Windows 7 (full) runs faster than my fully vlited vista install.

    Performance Comparison Vista SP2 vs. Windows 7 6801

    vLite did work with Windows 7 but not the latest 6801 release.

    I remove a hell of a lot of components using vlite (i only keep about 5-6 things with extreme, paint, notepad, .NET and a few others) with the current installation of Windows 7 6801... it runs at the same performance of my vista vlited install with is great! Did i forget to mention that it is a non-vlited install of Windows 7 :P

    boot time, install time, app launch times, so on?

    Boot Time: 4 out of 5 (no need to count... nice boot screen though)

    Install Time:5/5 - 23 mins

    App Launch Times: 4.5/5 Very quick (even when i never opened the app before) Minefield opens up instantly.

    CPU: between 1% and 9% (Intel Pentium Dual-Core T2370 2x 1.73Ghz)

    Memory Uage: 45% (2GB RAM DDR2) with Office 2007 installing and MSN, Minefield (Firefox Alpha) running..

    User Interface: Love it! Much Much smoother, nice visual effects, etc...

    Sound: Crackles a lot (for me anyway, the logon sound... sounded horrible) - built-in sound card on laptop

    Wallpapers: Better than XP

    Themes: pretty much the same but got more choice.

    Drivers: Uses Vista Drivers

    Windows Update UI looks nice

    New WMP takes a while to get used to

    Bugs

    Start Menu sometimes does not open

    Again, sound crackles but not really a bug i dont think

    Updating hotfixes for existing vLite image?

    in vLite

    Posted · Edited by Legolash2o

    Just integrate in SP1 in Vista RTM and keep that saved somewhere. That's what I do. Keeps you from having to integrate it in every time.

    You could always add the hotfixes in and then same that someplace as well without removing and components. That way you only have to integrate a few every now and then instead of all of them at once.

    Same here, but now i got a MS SP1 Pre-integrated Vista disk.
