   Tip
You can keep your newly created slipstream Windows 7 SP1 installation DVD, bootable USB flash drive, or ISO file updated by doing this tutorial again with steps 7 and 12 to integrate any new Windows Updates released afterwards into it.

When you install Windows 7 SP1 using the slipstream Windows 7 SP1 DVD/ISO/USB created in this tutorial, you will be able to use the Windows 7 SP1 Disk Cleanup Tool (OPTION THREE at link) to delete the SP1 backup files.




That's it,
Shawn

Hello Fuqua, and welcome to Seven Forums.

With a slipstream created using RT7 Lite, Windows 7 is fully installed first, then when Windows 7 starts up for the first time, the sliptstreamed apps will install one by one from their installation file the same as if you manually installed them in Windows 7.

Normally you would have a internet connection by then, so it MSE should install fine. If not, then MSE will just give you an error that it could not be installed. Once you have a internet connection, you could install MSE manually afterwards.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Fuqua,

Sorry, but you misunderstood. RT7 doesn't reinstall Windows 7. I was refering to the slipstreamed Windows 7 that you created with RT7 instead. :)

ah oke, i was already feeling a bit confused :)

so here is what i did, i need a clean windows 7 home premium version, and i read somewhere that windows re-released windows 7 with sp1 included.
on this website:

** LINK REMOVED - They violate EULA **

u can download the official windows 7 iso's, unfortunate for me windows home premium is not on there with the dutch language. but on this website:

** LINK REMOVED - They violate EULA **

i read u can easely change windows to an all in one version, by simply deleting the ei.cfg from the iso. so that way i can still get home premium.

also another website had all the official .msu (microsoft security units ?) patches.
i could use those to slipstream the updates.

** LINK REMOVED - They violate EULA **

but i dont think those are all the updates u usually get right ? where can i get the rest of x64 update,s/patches, if there are any.

A MSU file will be for any single specific Windows Update. You'll need to download the MSU for each Windows Update that you would like to have included in the slipstream to not have to reinstall that update after installing the slipstream.

For that, you would just need to compare the list in the link I posted above with what is in your Windows Update view update history. Anything not on the list in the link above is what you need to get a MSU file of.

Another thing to look at with each update will be the release date. Anything from 3/1/11 onward would be post SP1 since the SP1 rtm release was seen on 2/28/11.

thank you for the info guys.

my first tries getting this to work where a faillure. 1ste time i had my product key wrong. which was easy to solve ofcourse.

but on the next step it said it didnt had permission to format my drive.. i have 1 hd with 3 partitions:

0: is recovery drive of laptop
1: is where windows gets installed
3: is empty

i think it is trying to install on the 0 partition, which also ****ed up my bootsector and got stuck in a loop, so i had to reinstall another windows 7 to get it going again :) and i deleted the unattended.xml to see how far the rest of the process would go. still some tweaking needed.

anyway ill be going over the manual once again. see what ive missed.

Hello Darryl,

The RT7 Lite program just doesn't support doing that currently. I don't know of any program that does so far. :(

Here I made up two usb install keys with flash drives as well as burning a pair of unlocked dvds all slipstreamed with the updates included except for one 64bit install key which was reduced to two updates and custom fitted onto a 4gb flash drive. For that a second program for writing the slipsteamed ISO had to be used due to the RT 7 Life requiring a larger 8gb.

You'll notice that all Windows disks, install keys, etc. are each separated from each other as far as vfersions, editions, and kernels. I haven't run into anything combined except the SP1 ISO imaged you burn to disk that would otherwise see both. That's typically a download found for IT dept.s where one disk covers multiple machines while the average desktop, laptop user would only go for one or the other.

Is there a way to do this without using RT Seven Lite? It's just the computer I am trying to make a slipstream copy of my Windows 7 on is an XP Pro SP3 OS and RT Seven does not work on systems older than Vista I believe.

All I want to do is to to get the Windows 7 boot disc onto a USB drive instead. I have also tried the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool but that doesn't work either. I get the error message that files have copied sucessfully however there was a problem in making it bootable.

Unfortunately I can't install off the DVD because my Asrock Extreme 4 Gen 3 doesn't recognise my DVD-RW as it is old style ATA connector having to be connected via Belkin PCI ATA133 card as the Asrock boad has no ata connectors but does have the older floppy connector that nobody uses anymore go figure!

No option in the Bios to boot from pci ata! No option I can see to select to boot from USB but was gonna try make a bootable USB flash drive with Windows 7 slipstreamed or copied onto it and see if it works or detects it.

Any other ideas or advice greatly appreciated on how I can just get this Windows 7 installed to my new system build. Do you know if there is any other way to do this besides the RT Seven Lite and the Windows USB/DVD utility that actually works?

Cheers,

John

Hello John, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Where did you get your copy of Windows 7 from, and what form is the installation media in?

If retail, could you not just install Windows 7 with the DVD?

If ISO, you should be able to use a free program like ImgBurn to extract/burn the ISO to a DVD that your drive supports.
