simurqq Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 (edited) As the topic description says, is it possible to:1- vLite (i.e., customize) Vista x86/x64 with SP12- Then, simply run SP2 RTM after installation of "customized" Vista with SP1The point is I've read several times that it was not possible to slipstream SP2 with Vista SP1 using vLite or default Vista options. Being not fond of "brute-force" slipstream methods, I'd like to try the above.Thank you! Edited June 4, 2009 by simurqq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 no. after removing components with vLite you CAN'T install the Sp2!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simurqq Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) Fair enough...But it simply means that there are only two options (either / or) for installing Vista:1- vLite and install the customzied Vista with SP1 and continue living with it until another genious like nuhu invents a similar tool compatible with SP2.2- Buy or download the MSDN pre-slipstreamed version Vista with SP2 and install it as-is, i.e. without any customization (with vLite) whatsoever...That's really weird, I think!Anyway, vielen Dank, Andre!!!

MagicAndre1981 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 use 2. Get a Sp2 Slipstreamed ISO from Technet/MSDN und use it as a source for vLiting your Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicAndre1981 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 yes it works with Sp2 slipstreamed ISOs. I've used such an ISO as a source for my vLited DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAVERICKS CHOICE Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 It's a real pain in the a** you cannot even update to sp2 live in Vista sp1 with a Vlited installation. There must be a workaround.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 what do you mean with vLite Installation? If you didn't use vLite to remove components you can delete this registry key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\vLiteBut, do not try this on a vLited Vista Sp1, Sp2 Installer will always FAIL!

MAVERICKS CHOICE Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I have a VLited reduced installation & won't update to Sp2 is what i meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 this is right. Removing components breaks SP installer. Get a Sp2 slipstreamed DVD from MS (MSDN/Technet) and make a new vLited DVD and reinstall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
