Slipstream New Updates Into RTM ISO

[Zidane24]

Didn't mean it in a bad way or owt Z, just thought you'd be ditching VLite by now thats all... I've had bad experiences with the 'Lite' set of tools like policies doing there own thing and other weird stuff.

The interesting thing about the way my tools will work is that it will use vLite but only as a crap cleaner...I do all the package/feature removal...vLite cleans up the left over files and disables menu entires for features. Service disable and enable are also done with vLite. ImageX, DISM, and vLite are a really strong team for this. Who knows if I develop this long enough I might ditch vLite altogether and make ZLite into a full app

Version 1 of my tools (made in collaboration with liquid) is what built Media Edition and Elite Edition...I am making v2 feature complete and suitable for public release

Fair enough then matey, but I'd seriously try and ditch it (vLite) soon just so you and everyone else knows exactly whats there and whats not, just my opinion..

"Service disable and enable are also done with vLite" - scares me slightly though!
Is it actually removing the bits or just disabling them because if it's just turning em off then using the $OEM$ folder on the disc with a small batch would serve better use. (which is the dir for installing extra drivers etc during setup...)

Well to honor the release of the RTM it will probably be over the weekend...hell if I can get some peace and quiet from the family tomorrow than it might be released tomorrow.

To Generator: If nuhi would just release the source than all would be fine

The things I could do to Windows is she would just open up....

How about:

Scaling up the 'NT kernel' in Windows 7 to 256 processors?

David Cutler, one of the world's greatest software engineers, wrote the "NT scheduler"

for a relatively small number of processors (like 64)...

hm... all you need is dism for integration. No need for vlite and other stuff. you mount wim with dism, unpack update and issue "DISM.exe /image:<DIR> /Add-Package /PackagePath:<PATH TO CAB>", commit&unmount wim and work is done.

 

[chuckr]

already done.

Roger that, just testing the waters...

 

[h2ofun]

Where does one find the OEM preinstall kit?

you dont need OPK anymore, you can just download WAIK RTM, directly from MS.

Actually SoLoR...I believe that even the AIK isn't necessary now...DISM will integrate the language into Windows...but I am not so sure if it will integrate it into Setup

I must be reading the wrong stuff, or I'm terribly confused here:

New Features in the Windows AIK

New Features in the Windows AIK
Updated: May 4, 2009
Applies To: Windows 7
This topic describes many of the new features available in this release of the Windows® Automated Installation Kit (Windows AIK).
Manage Images with the Deployment Image Servicing and Management Tool (DISM)

You can use DISM to customize Windows images in a variety of ways. For example, you can:

• Add or remove 32-bit and 64-bit device drivers.
• Add or remove language packs.
• Enable or disable Windows features.
• Add and configure updates.

The new DISM tools replace many of the tools in previous releases of the Windows AIK, .....

Nope its indeed not. DISM is part of windows you dont need WAIK/OPK anymore, for most of stuff. However i do know that dism is part of windows, but im not 100% sure that "wim mounting" driver is as well. Thing is, i always installed WAIK/OPK before i fidled with isos, so i dont know if you can mount iso with dism without "mounting driver" that WAIK/OPK provides (however since dism have this option it should be logicaly possible). And intergrating languages in to boot.wim means copying few license files and adding changed lang.ini in to "2nd" boot.wim image.

I was just gonna say that DISM is a part of WAIK, you beat me to it.

Dunno if it's available seperatly though..

EDIT: OK scrap the last line because Solor answered it..
