I use Mr Jinje DISM Tool to slipstream drivers, disable features from loading installed (ie: games, indexing, M$ search 4.0-really hate that one-use a nifty app called File Menu Tools for search http://www.lopesoft.com/en/fmtools/info.html), George King's Windows 7 Update Pack Tool v1.3.4.0 http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/10571-Windows-7-RTM-Updates-Packs-x86-amp-x64 to slipstream hotfixes/updates (using his latest update pack) and find my installs to be efficient, fast and stable. I agree that reducing size is really not a viable option anymore, although, I wish one could completely remove Windows Defender from the source without adverse side effects My runonce is quite loaded; this combined with the update pack (which is huge) all seem to always fit quite nicely on a standard DVD-so far anyways. I have an 8G USB flash drive, but, so far have not needed it.

Windows 7 locks some registry keys similar to Vista in that, at least in my experience, one cannot change the permission-especially legacy system entries; always get access denied no matter what. I even try to remove the system from ownership by deleting all child inherited-no success.

I'm going to read the docs included with WAIK-have the latest installed-will take some time because I have never scripted...a few batch files etc.; I find this very interesting-MrJinje and everyone make adopting this new OS so much easier. This last install using the second DVD as outlined in my post in the DISM page runs remarkably well, very fast and stable; much more so than one without drivers/updates integrated. Point bein' I guess, it is worth it to spend the time experimenting/testing...eventually the work pays off. Thanks a bunch Oh..and...just a little philosophy... The best thing in life is spending free money

This http://www.msfn.org/board/je-jins-dism-too...-0-t138804.html will do all of that beutifully

Nope, I loaded the boot intel drivers into the boot.wim; no go, Windows 7 just simply will not recogize either the SSD or the BIOS. I had to configure IDE to install, BUT, when I tried the routine to get AHCI up and running....one BSOD after another. So, I was smart this time! LOL; made two separate DVD's-one with AHCI in boot.wim, and one without. Wiped the HDD, fresh install with only the boot Intel drivers out and Bob's your uncle; now my post install AHCI routine went without a hitch with one difference-it loads up an intel inf_install driver with AHCI in the name instead of the msahci generic; M$'$ AHCI support in this OS needs to be reworked. I have never had any trouble before...XP 64-bit, 2000; just Windows 7 RTW. ...add me to them, all updates, feature removals, inf drivers installed perfectly; veeeery niiiice!!!!

Oh, I did not know this.... Check this out, third post down: http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=82589 since RTW I cannot install in AHCI, just IDE and switch it all over post install with a reg hack and update drivers to Intel in Device Manager Well, of to the races...be back in a few......

It didn't work; I did not let the install proceed past copying files because it spent no time at all before proceeding to extracting the copied windows files; from much experience I know this to mean it is using the M$ generic drivers, so, I'm going to have to do some research. I read somewhere that Windows 7 will ignore the 3rd party drivers if it "doesn't like them"; although I can't see why the install would not recognize the Intel as superior-one thing I noticed; I mounted the completed wim just now after the failure and saved the logs again without making any other changes. All updates and feature removals still show "pending", the inf's/drivers are all showing in the inf/driver folders (ie: oem1.inf, ....2 etc./iastor.sys and so on). I copied the extracted wim to another directory before dismounting it so I could have a look under the hood. ...oh, oh...how can it use the drivers if it has not extracted them yet...did I jump the gun here do you think?; if you browse to load drivers during setup it dwells copying files in this scenerio because it has to load and configure before extracting, but, if there integrated, it will not know anything until it extracts the image and has a look-see-is this correct? Thanks

According to you 7z, you integrated around 60+ Drivers and 9 Updates into your image.Can you run a Windows Update Scan and confirm that these 9 updates are still showing up as not installed. They will not show up in your list of installed updates, because they were never installed, they were integrated. Is that the source of the confusion ? Maybe; my understanding is a fresh install after successfully modifying the wim with DISM should install the compatable drivers and any updates included in the modification-n'est pa'? As for the drivers, they should already be integrated, run a search of C:\Windows\inf\ for oem1.inf and tell me if you find the file. That is where it should appear if integrated properly, you should find you other 60 drivers in there too. (oem0.inf - oem61.inf are you drivers) Whether or not the drivers actually work with Windows 7 is a whole nother story. Windows Update shows all of the updates required and not installed; device manager showed no drivers installed-they are all Windows 7 64-bit published for the respective chipsets (ie: x38, Sansung 275T, onboard Yukon LAN controller etc.). However, that said, I think I may have discovered the error on my part; I mounted wim index 1 when Ultra is index 4, boy do I feel stupid So, I think I modified the wrong image. I've just completed running your excellent tool, this time specifying wim index 4. I'm going to backup my current install and complete a fresh install using this one and will post back in a few hours. See attached for this DISM log set-you'll notice the "features" set is populated with more than the index 1 uploaded previously. The wim was committed both times and demounted; all logs are recorded before committing the wim.

I was able to modiy the WIM file with no errors, but, none of the hotfixes or drivers installed upon performing a fresh install; the xml answer file is good. Refer to the attachment for the logs. I must be missing a step; any ideas-Windows 7 Ultimate (x64). Thanks.

Check it out [for XP (x64)] http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6419 works very well

....any ideas nuhi?: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=126428

Perhaps you may know a solution or head me in the right direction; would you please check out my thread here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=126428 Thanks in advance for any and all help-am stumped

..no matter what I do I get a CabLib Extract ERROR message when attempting SP1 slipstream, Vista Home Premium, DELL Inspiron 1720. None of the files are corrupt; I've downloaded the service pack and vLite 1.2 Final three different times; recopied the original Vista DVD entirely three times to the HDD. vLite will just not slipstream the SP. vLite then aborts, no changes saved, integration failed. Check it out here: http://www.wikiupload.com/download_page.php?id=75486 There is nothing in the preset folder, just this in the configuration file in the root of the vLite folder: [GUI] Path00=D:\VistaDVD\VISTALITE [Tasks] [Options] TempFolder = C:\Users\xxxxxx xxxxxx\AppData\Local\Temp ISOLabel = VistaLite ApplyMethod = 1 any ideas?

vlite 1.2 errored integrating Fox's latest update pack-http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5564-at KB956391-Dell Inspiron 1720, ; it simply states KB956391 integration failed, Do You Want to continue; I hit Yes, vlite continues on to the end and, then, discretely shows an Integration failed message at the bottom of the GUI box, no changes were made; SP1 slipstreamed first via vlite 1.2, rebooted before attempting integration. There are no antivirus programs running; now, I get BSOD everytime I try to integrate the update pack....something went south; on every reboot the screen refreshes 3 times at the desktop after complete login. Graphics drivers uninstalled all refresh issues disappear; reinstall they come back no matter what I do. No customizations whatsoever and the SP slipstream is done in a completely separate operation first thing. I deleted all of the Vista install files, copied them again from the DVD DELL provided of just the OS to the HDD, attempted to slipstream the SP again for a completely fresh try and now at about 3/4 completion it flashes a cab extraction error, cab corrupt, SP integration cannot continue, no changes were saved. I downloaded the SP standalone again from MS update catalogue and SP1 slipstream succeeds, but, BSOD trying to integrate the update pack; now the viscious circle begins again. There was absolutely nothing in the preset; no customizations had been attempted at any level whatsoever. The OS installed perfectly and ran equally well before and after the BSOD...bottom line is I cannot get an slipstreamed ISO built.

Well, I've burned 3 disks and just finished the fourth fresh install, same diff.... No corrupted hardware-ran thorough checkdisk on all, and nothing crashes...so I'm at a loss. I will try doing it Kurt's way for the hotfixes and see if it makes a difference. Thanks for the input...will report back.

I pretty much tried http://www.msfn.org/board/HOWTO-create-a-f...-D-t105277.html as a rough template-he's possibly short 2 updates-KB936357 and KB921503, I want to look into those more; I slipstreamed IE7 and the 3 hotfixes separately after the rest...I noticed my Fast User switching is missing in services so I'm thinkin' a corrupted ISO, or the Client services update slipstreamed/installed badly. I've just finished making a new disc and will report back tomorrow. Like you I always run as admin-full-no other accounts, this is a gaming machine..........also, I am new to XP (x64), just received/purchased it last Friday, and am in the process of getting it to where I want it. Thanks for the reply and I will post back here tomorrow night. Cheers, Rick

anybody have this concern?; when opening WMP11 to set my "Devices", and open up the audio portion to set preferences, I get the install mmdriver.inf in system32 to reinstall the codecs, no matter what I do, it fails to install; it's not corrupt or missing, and my sound works very well-gaming or otherwise. My nlited ISO is very, very conservative

dupl post

here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsxp/cc164204.aspx "...General Requirements -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To install SP3, your computer must meet the hardware and operating system requirements listed below. In addition, your computer must at least be running Windows XP with Service Pack 1 installed. We recommended that you have Service Pack 2 installed before installing SP3."

"Windows XP SP3 does not include Windows Internet Explorer 7, although Windows XP SP3 does include updates to both Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7, and it will update whichever version is installed on the computer." ..from the "Overview of Windows XP Service Pack 3" available here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en It is a good read and contains the answers to pretty much everything one requires. I use OnePiece's "OnePiece_IE7AddOn_2.1.1_ENU" with no errors.

I can confirm all that also, along with Xable's updates 1.7, OGE_OUE, some of Mrs. Peel's and Kel's addons. no errors, no updates listed on MS upd.

Yes, I did just that without a hitch.

WinXP Pro SP3 Build 5508-works perfectly!

no, I'm running 5503 and use the Auzentech Prelude soundcard; Microsoft update showed no updates to download. I slipstream IE7 and the four hotfixes using OnePiece_IE7AddOn_2.0.4_INTL_Only_for_RVMi.7z from here: http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4847
