A visual guide to 7Customizer

Greetings, I'm sort of new to this. Is there a way I can integrate Microsoft Office and other programs into the .iso file?

Hello wymp,

With 7Customizer, you can use RunOneEx method or also use WPI (Windows Post Install Wizard) for example:

Please, send your post at the topic:

You can also find help here for silent install:

You can eliminate the programs/components from installing during setup, and the services from propagating, by creating an answer file using Windows OPK imagex in WAIK. I do not like RT7Lite because if you do not modify all of the wims', it deletes those you do not; changing the default index number (similar to Enterprise). Doing it my way you can still load up 7C and apply the tweaks section with no adverse affects or complexities.

I have attached the answer file I use. Just substitute your values for name, support etc. This answer file disables Windows Defender, System Restore, OOB games, Windows Media Center, CEIP..., adds 4 search providers-Google as default, removes extraneous language packs, logs in the administrator automatically indefinitely (you can change this and add a user account in the answer file), etc. I use WMP12 and Shark007 codec packs here:

http://shark007.net/index.html

Those that know what they are doing can modify the file in notepad, or whatever, all others use OPK imagex. At any rate, the file should be thoroughly read changing that which you want different-most of the time simply changing False to True or vise versa will achieve this. There is redundancy in some entries by design, but, if any part of the answer file is not modified exactly right, absolutely no errors, install will fail. Be smart, copy the modified file to empty floppy or USB Flash and run a trial install (F8....etc.) cancelling the install at the last moment, then, you simply automatically reboot back up and running as you were.

The result is the same as if you physically removed these components with RT7Lite or whatever, with the exception that all is reversible in the OS (Programs and Features, System etc.) and the ISO size is not reduced.

Hi,

Just a quick question... Do you need to include the windows updates in a specific order, like oldest first, or will 7Customizer apply the updates in the correct way so as to make sure that the most recent files are used?

I'm just wondering if adding the newest patch first and the oldest patch last may possibly result in the older version of a system file being used. Up to now I've just downloaded all windows updates using autopatcher, searched the AP directory for *.msu files and added them all in one go. I'm currently building an image created with this method, but I'm not sure how I would test that all updates were applied correctly/in the right order

Thanks!

edit:

Hmmm, the iso that I was building never showed up... does 7Customizer not like the iso destination being a network directory? (I'm building within a VirtualBox VM, so had the destination as a shared folder, which shows as a network location)

Also, does 7Customizer not save any settings apart from the WAIK app locations?

1: No specific order no.

2: If you can write to a networkdirectory it should work fine.

3: You have to save settings yourself.

You do not need to worry about order etc.; Windows will sort it out, but, if the requisite files are not installed the update will not integrate. As an example I attached a list of files-Requisite.jpg- that must be integrated first before the rest if you were using SoLoR's update repository. Otherwise one or two updates will not integrate; kicking out the update not applicable....7C/DISM error. This list is just to show you an example, but, applies to any update collection.

is there any way to integrate office 2007 + adobe with the OS ?

[myselfidem]

Yes!

You can use RunOnceEx method or Windows Post-Install Wizard if you want (WPI 8.1.0)

Example with RunOnceEx method:

Create the folders $OEM$ inside "sources" (Example: C:\Win7\sources\)

$OEM$\$$\SETUP\SCRIPTS\SetupComplete.cmd

$OEM$\$1\Install (folder where you have all your programs inside each folder: Office2007; Adobe; etc.)

Example:

SetupComplete.cmd

@echo off

Win7 SP1 has been released - can it be integrated/slipstreamed using the Updates tab or will you add a Service Pack tab in the future or is it not possible to include SP1 as an update under any conditions?

[grabben]

You can use DISM to integrate it but it requires some editing of 3 files for slipstreaming and you wont be integrating a *.cab file but a folder so I dont think 7C can do this..
