[amit_talkin]

Hi frnds,

i donno if someone has already posted this method here....so i m posting it if anyone interested.

to integrate vista sp1 into vista RTM DVD, follow instructions below.

Source : Mydigitallife

1. Prepare another hard disk or a drive partition.

2. Install Windows Vista RTM to the secondary partition or drive (not the main boot or system partition). The primary reason for installing a new copy of Vista in another partition or drive is to ensure that no boot associated files of that computer related to BCD and boot.ini being part of the final Vista DVD image with SP1 integrated.

3. After installation finished, Windows Vista will boot into Out of the Box Experience (OOBE), where users will come to the part after setup that requires users to set up his or her user name, password, general settings and etc. Once in the OOBE phase, type Ctrl-Shift-F3 to enter Audit mode.

4. The system will reboot into Audit mode, and a SysPrep window will pop up and show. Do not close the SysPrep window.

5. Run the Vista SP1 setup installer (e.g. Windows6.0-KB936330-X86-wave0.exe, Windows6.0-KB936330-X64-wave0.exe or Windows6.0-KB936330-X86(x64)-wave0.exe), and let the service pack installation completes.

6. Optionally, users can run a new tool comes with SP1 called Vsp1cln.exe to remove older versions of components that have been upgraded to new versions in SP1 to save disk space. To remove these older RTM files, simply run Vsp1cln.exe via Winkey+R (Run command) or via the command prompt after SP1 is installed.

7. After the completion of SP1 service pack, the users will come back at the main Vista desktop with the SysPrep window open. At the SysPrep selection dialog, select OOBE, Generalize, and then Shut Down the system.

8. Boot the system into a WinPE disk or another OS install (i.e. Windows XP). Do NOT boot back into Vista.

9. Run the following imagex command (imagex can be found in WAIK). Note that GimageX (a gui front-end for imagex) is not supported.

imagex /compress maximum /flags "Ultimate" /capture d: c:\install.wim "Windows Vista Ultimate"

where d: is the drive Vista is installed on and c:\install.wim is the location to store the new install.wim. Replace “Ultimate” after the /flags switch with whatever edition of Vista installed (supported flags are HomeBasic, HomePremium, Starter, Ultimate, Enterprise, ServerDatacenter, ServerEnterprise and ServerStandardand, all no space between words) to slipstream SP1, and also the drive letter of where Vista is installed and location to save the generated install.wim.

10. Once the image has been built, replace the old install.wim in the Vista RTM ISO in \Sources\ with the newly created install.wim using a registered version of UltraISO (Version 8.0 or higher). Save the ISO and you’re done.

You can also rebuild the ISO using vLite by extracting the contents of the Vista RTM ISO to a temporary directory, replacing the install.wim and using vLite’s Vista Burning/ISO creation features. One can also use vLite to remove unwanted features in Vista SP1.

Note that the whole process above is to slipstream SP1 into a single edition of Vista. To integrate SP1 into all the editions of Vista, repeat steps above for each edition and use the imagex /append function to build an install.wim that contains all the editions of Vista, and then replace the original install.wim with install.wim with all editions or editions required in the RTM ISO image as per last 2 steps.

That's... hideously complicated.

I'll wait for someone to figure out a way to slipstream SP1 without so much rigamarole. I only have one PC with Vista. I have one it *might* run on but I don't have spare drive space for it.

Pretty simple Bizz do it how its been explained above or complain to MS, aint as simple as slipping a service pack to your source as we done previously. Or request a disc with the service pack applied?? See you have a choice. No ones gunna do it for you not that simple.

I suppose it'll be simplest just to get an Anytime Upgrade DVD of the SP1 version.

this method aint any hard.its just simple. it may be looking hard because of so many steps written. but it is just like "install n repack" method.

you can also include additional softwares like office 2007 with sp1 hotfix...then capture that partition as described above...thn u wont need to install office again..it will be already activated and installed whn u setup again. this is just an example...u can modify it as the way u want.
