DONE IT....WORKS LIKE A DREAM....... As Ms said, just copy the new files, over writing the files on the ASUS DVD, I now have a fully integrated SP1 copy of my ASUS OEM Vista Ultimate I can't see why Ms took it down grom the Connect site, I guess I was just lucky to get it. I wonder if its the one the OEM system builders got ? it boils down too, Ms could have allowed intergration if they wanted.

I'm a eta tester and was one of the first to download the full SP1 DVD. it was in a format just like my OEM Ultimate from ASUS. I thought it would slipsteram with the layout, I've since been informed I should not have got that edition as it was not to be downloaded. Unoficially I was told to just move over the OEM folder and the packages xml.....So if Ms wanted to they could slip it. The download has now changed and its a exe file, so somehow I got an adition that is not available, don't know how, it was on Ms Connect Update. I've wrote the DVD but not tried it yet as I'm in the middle of other things....I'll report when I have

Well I extracted the image files of both dvds to seperate folders sp1 & asus.....I copied all sp1 into asus folder overwriting all files & merging others. I ran vlite to rebuild the iso and on the install updates tab, on the bottom pane already installed updates there all there, even SP1 Release Candate, double click it and it takes you to Ms info page which describes all about the sp1 release candate... so I think I have rebuilt my ASUS OEM DVD with SP1 ....

Its just the lay out of the dvd is the same as my OEM////also its the full dvd not just the sp1 upgrade FRMCFRE_EN_DVD 2.975 gig EFI BOOT SOURCES SUPPORT UPGRADE ----------------------------- VISTA_ASUS 2.550 gig BOOT EFI SOURCES SUPPORT UPGRADE OEM FOLDER OUTBOX_DRIVERS I was thinking on just putting/overwriting the sources folder on the OEM with the new SP1 as all the other files seem the same, its the sources folder thats 400mg larger... cheer's

Hi guys I have the SP1 rtm dvd, and my AUSUS dvd, looking at them they look the same type of format, can I just combine the new files from the rtm into my oem dvd to get a SP1 OEM dvd. The file structure is exacaly the same so it would just be updating the files, wouldnt it ? I am a beta tester so it is not pirated.
