open regedit and go to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion And look for the BuildLabEx String. It must contain the 18005.

some people tried this on a german board and it fails when doing sysprep with a MSDTC error. using the Audit mode to install first Sp1 and Sp2 seams to work.

there are 3 links posted how to do the reverse integration method. Those guides say Sp1 but it also applies to Sp2.

ok, have fun with your vLited Vista

this wallpaper looks terrible

you can't install Sp2 if you remove at least 1 component from Vista! Read the sticky about Sp2 slipstreaming and make your own Sp2 Image and use this Install.wim as surce for using it with vLite!

when Windows 7 hits RTM and will be sold this will happen I think I'll write a short text (in the "For Dummies" Style so that average users understand it) about UAC tommorow ( what UAC is and how it works) so that all people to disable it change their opinion.

open the install.wim of your Original DVD with 7zip and extract the missing fonts and place them into the Windows Fonts folder.

@cluberti the security vulnerability is still there, because only one app with this manifest entry can be used to bypass the uac when the uac is running at the default level. I also able to inject notepad, dwm, explorer and a lot more app to run any code in elevated mode without accepting the UAC prompt. Mark posted that MSFT knows this issue and will never fix it. Look here for a video: http://nudel.kelbv.com/W7E_VID_INT/W7E_VID_INT.htm and take a look at the demo app+code: http://www.pretentiousname.com/misc/W7E_So...Inject.cpp.html

you're removed the traditional Chinese language. Protect the following files from being removed: windows\fonts\kaiu.ttf windows\fonts\mingliu.ttc windows\fonts\mingliub.ttc windows\fonts\msjh.ttf windows\fonts\msjhbd.ttf

you want support from us. We can't help you about an unofficial build

no, I'm also removing it, because I don't need it and don't get a BSOD.

Build 7229 is no official Build, so you'll get no support. I've already posted a cmd file here which does it. Use search for it.

this is correct. vLite only works with the WAIK 1.1 for Vista, not the one for Windows 7.

Always notify (slider to top position) All other settings are insecure. With the default settings (shown at the picture) all applications (good aps or malware) can easily execute code with elevated rights by using MS apps included inside Win7 without showing the UAC. This is an incredible security vulnerability.

it is stored inside the imageres.dll. Open it with a ResourceHacker tool and look under Images

you should post the Dump files or make a picture of the BSOD, so that we can see which Bugchek (STOP Code) do you have.

looks like we will officially never be able to slipstream SP into a DVD. On Windows 7 there will be also no option to slipstream the SPs

no, it is not possible to create a DVD from that hidden partition. Get a clean DVD from a friend and use your key to reinstall.

what's the temp folder which uses vLite? Make sure, that is not read only and uses a short name. And also disable any running AntiVirus tools while vLite runs.

when does this happen?

hmm, I've tried it with an earlier version of vLite and got errors and nuhi fixed this. But I've deleted the CD set and don't want to download it again to test why it fails. @lucianimago run ProcessMonitor in background and filter for vLite.exe and take at the the Result column and look for errors.

The 5 CD set of Vista RTM is available on technet

[x] no Windows Vista for idiots (Windows 7) doesn't bring up too much new thing which make a upgrade usefull. Vista performs well and all required and must have fixes are not included, so I'll skip Win7

what did you type into the ISO Label field?
