MAVERICKS CHOICE

A point was mentioned re XP has been around for a long time now. Everyone has got very used to it & tweaked it to their needs. Guess that's why there's some hesitation to change.

I don't find Vista to have many compatibility issues & have been testing it for quite some time. I just don't think its an easy OS to upgrade to atm. There's still many driver issues, not so many software problems. It will be some time yet afore it becomes my daily drive here I'm afraid.

The oem distro is generally located in Vista\sources dir of the share. You can add other dir in the root offcourse & code to that path for other installs of your apps etc.

You can easily make a silent installer (slimmed) & run with a UA install in setupcomplete.cmd or use wpi.... Guess it depends how small you require your disk to be? Most Vista UA installs are limited to a dvd anyhow..

Yes same switch for silent install does work.

To certainly install the entire waik is a handy tool. Though not entirely required for VLite.

Good to see you're on the ball.

Thats great you sorted your problem, however in the future please be more specific in your rerquest for help & if VLite related mention it in the first instance Do not post here. Nuhi has a whole section devoted to VLite so post there....

Thats true Spoof some more testing to do.

Thanks for the reply, just thought someone may have done this as Ryan VM has an addon to do same in XP. As I said before its no biggy & not an absolute necessary fix for UA.

Hi with this new patch for WGA kb940510 does not appear I can preintegrate into the source of UA disc as usual? Anyone know a way to pre register or install this patch? Noticed the WGAER_M.exe located in "SoftwareDistribution\Download\Install" following a windows update session. This runs following a reboot. This is no biggy but would be nice to have included.

All Kool for Jule here Kel with latest version & no dramas.

Thats great its helped you out...much water under the bridge for us though.

The answer files are identical. Are you sure its not a problem with your integrated source?

Glad to see ya got it sorted with the multitude of variables in UA very difficult to diagnose over the net.

Thanks Spoof will give em a go.

Ive found many x86 drivers that won't integrate properly over the last 18 months or so since Vista's existence..

Thanks Mike a favorite of mine for a while now.

No known hack for unsigned drivers in Vista UA atm. But if someone knows a workaround do tell....

Oem or retail shouldn't make a difference, don't know about using all versions on one xml, don't think its possible. You could certainly try making a AIO. There is a guide around the net for this somewhere.

I have successfully used my xml ans file from first use to present day only with minor changes as I progressed. You can always re run your xml through the waik for any image to validate & save etc.

Talk to Nuhi in the VLite section of this forum or Google is your friend.

That link you refer to is using a normal install disc. You can't use that method for an oem preinstalled os as in your case. Do some more searching there is a thread around where someone has a tutorial to accomplish this. I can't locate it myself atm.

Spoof meant in your mounted wim Try that.

Thanks Rado you're very quick with the releases always a favorite here.
