It might be easier to reverse-integrate SP1 on a runniing Vista RTM VM and then sysprep it and imagex /capture it, if vLite gives you too much trouble.

I'm not a techy, but I'm willing to try

Is this a good link for instructions:

http://www.wincert.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=5092 - it's for SP2, but you can use the same to apply SP1 to your VM and then image it back up into a WIM file. In fact, unless you don't want SP2, it may be wise to install SP1, then immediately apply SP2 afterwards and run compcln.exe as per the instructions you'll find in the link. I like that link because it's text and images, so there's no ambiguity as to what you're supposed to be doing.
