@nice_guy75 I've made a new test successfully with Vista AIK! If you really do not want install WAIK 3.0 for Windows 7 and keep AIK for Vista, you can do like this to clean the SP1 files after syspred your image: 1) You can use gimagex.exe with R/W to Mount your new image inside a temp folder (Example: Mount) 2) You can use Dism.exe inside your DVD location (Example = C:\Win7\sources\Dism.exe) with this batch: (adapt to your needs) *You need to copy your full DVD with the new install.wim (index:1 with SP1) inside your folder location (Example: C:\Win7) Clean_SP1.cmd @echo off cmd /c C:\Win7\sources\Dism.exe /Image:"C:\Mount" /Cleanup-Image /spsuperseded /hidesp pause Result.txt -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Outil Gestion et maintenance des images de déploiement Version : 6.1.7600.16385 Version de l'image : 6.1.7601.17514 Suppression des fichiers de sauvegarde créés durant l'installation du Service Pack. [==========================100.0%==========================] L'opération de nettoyage du Service Pack est terminée. L'opération a réussi. Appuyez sur une touche pour continuer.. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3) Unmount /Commit with gimagex.exe! 4) GimageX with Export and Compression Maximum Image Compression Maximum Voilà! *Edit: After many tests I see that the only compression working fine with GImageX is : compression= Maximum

1) You can uninstall AIK for Vista and restart the computer. 2) Install WAIK for Windows 7. 3) When the install.wim image is captured first with: imagex /capture /compress maximum /flags /check You can Mount the image inside a Temp Folder to clean the image with SP1. 4) After you can use a new time imagex.exe with the same compression. But we must do not compress the image install.wim twice whitout Mounting the image! If you have used FAST COMPRESSION use the same compression after Mounting and /Unmont /Commit using imagex.exe *Edit: in fact I think only Dism.exe doesn't work with Vista AIK and the image isn't corrupted!

If you have tried to use Dism with error using AIK for Vista and after tried to use gimagex.exe to compress the image, maybe now your image is corrupted! And if the image is already compressed we do not must compress a new time!!

I have the same error if I use AIK for Vista using Dism! Dism isn't include inside AIK for Vista! It's needed to use WAIK for Windows 7 to clean the temp folders inside install.wim with SP1 installed and captured!! *Edit: GImageX need imagex.exe and the other files to work correctly! The best way to use GImageX.exe is to set this one inside: C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\x86\ (select the OS you need : x86 or amd64!) Explainations inside: GImageX.help (gimagex.chm) And choose the GImageX.exe version x86 or amd64 needed.

You need to install WAIK 3.0 for Windows 7!!

Thanks, but the link provided doen't work: error: Content not found??? Correct link is: http://technet.micro...office.12).aspx Many thanks! The vbs script works fine! *Edit: but on my computer the updates are saved inside %userprofile%\Temp\Updates with Windows 7 and not inside Windows\Temp

When we have captured our new image install.wim, we must mount this one inside a temp folder. And we can use this command: Dism /Image:"C:\Mounted_Folder" /Cleanup-Image /spsuperseded /hidesp And when it's done we can: Unmount /Commit the image Other help: http://www.wincert.n...ed/page__st__80 http://blogs.technet...ice-pack-1.aspx *Edit: when the image is cleaned we can't remove the SP1

Yes, you can install WAIK for Windows 7 and use WSIM (Windows System Image Manager) to create and check your Autounattend.xml file! Here is as example an Autounattend.xml file for Windows 7 ULTIMATE x86 You can also find help reading this topic: http://www.msfn.org/...seven-xml-here/ *Edit: Many thanks Tripedacus for editing the file

The batch files are working also for Windows 7 SP1, because WAIK for Windows 7 is the same! The WAIK SP1 update is only to: WAIK Supplement for Windows 7 SP1 I will tell you when the batch files is complete!

Yes, the file "profiles.ini" is also created inside: %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles.ini" with Firefox 5.0!

I've tested two methods working: - we can set the $OEM$ folders inside the distribution location: C:\Win7\sources\$OEM$ (inside the folder "sources") - or we can set the folders inside: C:\Win7 (outside the folder "sources"; at the root like for Windows XP) With Windows 7, I use the best practice and set the $OEM$ folders inside: C:\Win7\sources\$OEM$

This can be done only for Firefox 4.0 but not for Firefox 5.0. The installations files aren't the same and the program isn't the same. Maybe that works for Firefox 5.0?

In fact I see that the name folder is different for each version! The name folder given above was for Firefx 4.0 And now for Firefox 5.0, I can see that the folder's name is: u74tuqaf.default Maybe this folder name is different for each computer!?? *Edit: After some tests, I see that this folder name is a random name! But if you remove Firefox, some files are always on your computer with a file saving the value for the folder and you have the same folder name with a new installation! If you choose to not select: remove my datas and folders After uninstall Firefox, you can look inside %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Firefox\Profiles You will see some undeleted files and folders with the old value for the folder! If you remove all folders manually and install Firefox a new time, you will have a new folder random name (this new file will be saved on your computer)! Or if you remove all the files and folders when you uninstall Firefox! Same things happens with some programs, like TuneUp Utilities! Each installation gives a new random folder name.

If I use Start | Run and write : (Firefox French version installed) %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles A window is open and I can see a folder named: jyhxdjgf.default (inside Profiles)

I'm not sure to well understand, but you can use a command like this (to create a folder): mkdir %userprofile%\ApData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\New_Name If you add space inside the file name, you must use quotes: mkdir "%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\New Name"

You can use Post SP1 updates for Windows 7 ULZ made by steven4554 Choose the ULZ file you need: http://www.msfn.org/...dated-14062011/ You need to download Windows Updates Downloader: http://www.windowsupdatesdownloader.com/ http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/80713-windows-updates-downloader-250-build-1000/ When it's done, double-click on the ULZ file to install this one and launch Windows Updates Dowloader!

Yes, I see that some reg tweaks are not correct! But you can also add your Tweaks customized! help about adding registry files with RT Se7en Lite: http://www.rtwincustomize.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2722:how-to-add-custom-registry-using-rt-seven-lite&catid=59:windows-seven-tutorials&Itemid=143 http://www.rtwincustomize.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=59&Itemid=143

Thanks pjmelect ! Yes! And also now with the new Windows Live to share documents (SkyDrive) !!! It's needed to wait a long time with a dark blank page to see the document!!!

Thanks RealFasix ! Works now with your "workaround"! I need also to make changes for sounds to fonction inside = Options | Sounds: Warning.wav to Warning.WAV Exit.wav to Exit.WAV Cheers *Edit: After some tests I see it's just needed to change inside the file global.js two lines (129 and 133): // Sounds tab var SndInstallWarning=['"%wpipath%\\Audio\\SoundsScheme\\Warning.WAV"']; var SndWPIExit=['"%wpipath%\\Audio\\SoundsScheme\\Exit.WAV"'];

Thanks! But I'm not an expert. I like testing and try to find solutions. There is a lot of programs working fine to customize Windows 7 and I've tested successfully vLite with Windows 7 SP1. I just want an OS Windows 7 working fine and my advice is to keep all components if we don't know what we want really remove! vLite works fine with Windows 7 SP1! Some components can be removed safely with vLite and it's needed to choose carefully which component we don't really want and what happends if some components are removed: Help about components to keep: http://www.rtwincustomize.net/web/index.php?/topic/7146-components-to-keep/ For my personnal use, I use WPI 8.2.1 to install my programs silently after the installation is complete. I've just customized some images (spwizimg.dll, imageres.dll, FirstUXres.wim and some others). Se7en_UA is also an exellent program! Cheers I forgot to mention that I have intalled WAIK 3.0 for Windows 7 on my computer and I used imagex.exe to save only one image install.wim with a batch file: One_Image.cmd @echo off Title Saving Image Windows 7 ULTIMATE Color 0A CLS echo. REM Change the folders name and the Architecture to your needs! echo. echo ==Exporting Image Windows 7 Ultimate x86== echo. "C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\x86\imagex.exe" /export C:\Win7\sources\install.wim 5 C:\Win7\sources\install2.wim "Windows 7 ULTIMATE" echo. echo ==Removing unwanted files and folders== echo. REM DEL /S /F /Q "C:\Win7\sources\install.wim" DEL /S /F /Q "C:\Win7\sources\install_Windows 7 HOMEBASIC.clg" DEL /S /F /Q "C:\Win7\sources\install_Windows 7 HOMEPREMIUM.clg" DEL /S /F /Q "C:\Win7\sources\install_Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL.clg" DEL /S /F /Q "C:\Win7\sources\install_Windows 7 STARTER.clg" RD /S /Q "C:\Win7\support\" RD /S /Q "C:\Win7\upgrade\" REM REN "C:\Win7\sources\install2.wim" "install.wim" echo. echo ==End process== echo. echo ==Now you have only one image and the new index is: [install.wim 1] echo. echo ==Type any key to exit==&pause>nul I set two lines with REM, like this you can choose to change MANUALLY the image inside your distribution folder and save the original full image install.wim! *Rename "install2.wim" as "install.wim" MANUALLY I used this batch file many times whithout any problem, and after there is only one image install.wim inside the folder: .\sources\install.wim Feel free to do like you want! But it's better first to make a copy of the file install.wim if there is errors and save time! The same result is given with GimageX to save only one image! Cheers

Your OS isn't updated to SP1!! Update your OS to SP1. And try this: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/121477-vlite-v12-final-rapidcatched/page__view__findpost__p__895691 *Edit. post updated with good link!!

Same trouble! Doesn't work!
