GreenSkyRoad Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Before installing, I used rt7lite to customize my legitimately licensed Windows 7 Ultimate installer to save space and to slipstream service pack 1 beta.Now I'm realizing that the latter may have been a poor choice. I cannot uninstall service pack 1 beta to install the final service pack, and the above message has just appeared.It would be a big hassle to re-configure my Windows installer, let alone backup and re-install. Is there anything I can do to mark this copy "non-pre-release"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 you can't do this. Back all data and install Windows again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 The beta is timebombed - since you used rt7lite to slipstream it, it cannot be reinstalled or modified in any way, at least not one that would make your system potentially unbootable in the future. I concur with MagicAndre, you should simply back up and reinstall - you will not be able to install post-SP1 hotfixes after a short time once they drop the pre-release build from the list of acceptable install builds, and you'll be up the proverbial creek without a paddle.
