I've modified some scripts, that I've found and put the whole process to one batch. It will integrate the given Language pack into all editions of Vista DVD.

Tested and working.

Integrate langpack.cmd

Echo Example: C:\Program Files\Windows AIK
Set /p WAIK=
Echo.

can i select which one i want to slip? and do i need any stuff to do this or only the cmd? what is about the right folders?

[mhyll]

You need Windows AIK (WAIK) installed.

If you don't want to download whole 900MB package, I can upload MiniPETools which contains all needed.

If you create folder structure like in Examples it will work.

You can select only one edition, by deleting the others from CMD.

Numbers:

1-BUSINESS

2-HOMEBASIC

3-HOMEPREMIUM

4-ULTIMATE

5-BUSINESSN

6-HOMEBASICN

7-STARTER

You can download MiniPETools at:

mhyll, thank you but I can't distribute the peimg ms tool, I wish I could, then hotfixes would be supported as well. Now I gotta write my own routines but that might not even be possible with this new package thingy.

[mhyll]

Couldn't you add it as requirements for running vLite, just like .NET??? MiniPETools have only 5MB.

Or maybe just like option.

And add routines, to check, if this is installed. If yes, hotfix and language slipstream will be available in vLite, if not, it will be unavailable.

Vista has .NET in it, everyone running nLite have .NET. MiniPETools isn't MS product, too weird to make that requirement.

Too much work for optional features. When done it has to be supported from the box.

Maybe you can include MiniPETools.

Did they rewrite peimg from nothing?

I don't know. I just rewrote the script. You can check it in the earlier post. It allows selecting edition, into which you want to integrate tha langpack. Also did some automations. Check and write, if something can be better.

I rewrote the script to allow this.
