Tut: How to extend the client area in C# /w WPF

Open SETUP.EXE in ResHacker and got STRING folder where u will find all string as well as references of all functionality.

First slipstream and then you can vlite your iso but never remove components with the slipstream process. you have to do it in 2 steps Not sure I understand what you mean by "doing it in two steps". Please elaborate. Thanks. It mean, First slipstream SP1 and finish the all process, then re-open Vista Installation source (Vista SP1 Slipstreamed) and customize your Vista.

One additional question... assuming that the answer to the above question is yes, then is it also correct to assume that once I have this slipstreamed SP1 version installed that Vista will recognize that the 50+ hotfixes are not needed, or might auto-update then still prompt me to install them? No need to integrate pre-Vista SP1 updates, Service Pack is cumulative update and covers all last updates. and Vista doesn't prompt to install pre-Vista SP1 update after installation.

Right said !!! You can use nLite and remove unneeded components, it edit txtsetup.sif and remove the files too. It may speedup your text mode installation.

Happy Birthday RyanVM ~ Thanks for your contribution over the interent for Windows Communities.

You should try Windows Update ! and can get the most stable drivers from Microsoft....drivers means only drivers..no other 3rd party utilities.
