A) When finished, select (dot) the Windows 7 edition that you want to create a updated SP1 slipstream version of, and click on OK. (see screenshot below)

   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

Trying again

So the download center that was previously linked me to was for eval versions. I need to deploy this in a production environment so that's no bueno and leaves me back at square one with my original issue.

When slipstreaming SP1 into Windows 7 Enterprise x64, it doesn't seem to do anything once hitting 100%. The buttons remain grayed out and I can can't move any further with building the ISO.

Any suggestions?

Confused on a few things...help!(please)

I have read this guide and several others as well as guides on other software out there like BuClean. I have a few questions. First off I am working with a 7 AIO x86/64. I also have images for most versions(xp/vista/7, starter/home/pro, x64/86) if needed.

Can one integrate updates(hot fixes, etc) into a hybrid AIO Win 7 ISO that has both architecture types? If so, how? Would it be best just to keep the x86/64 AIO ISOs separate?

What is the difference between the 'build current image' and 're-build all images' options? The tutorial touches on this but it'd be great to get some clarity on this.

The tutorial suggests you can create an AIO from a single image by selecting the rebuild all images option, is this true? If so, in the example, Shawn uses a 64 bit ISO yet the screenshot he uses results in an x86 AIO, is this just a typo?

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forum,

I don't have an answer to that but if anyone does it's SIW2 and this thread right here would be a good place to ask him,

It is my humble reply that integration of anything would be possible if the installed dvd that is in possession contains the same when you try to upgrade.
If it is updated with service packs, and others, it may not be possible to upgrade, as this will show error in actual working. Even software specialised would not be sufficient. It will create but will not work.
If service pack is in updated stage, even deleting the extra files would not be possible,as error message would keep coming.

If there is no updation to the actuals in the hard disk, then any integration is possible. Otherwise, it would be futile attempt to try these.
I have tried all sort of fixes, also succeeding in integrated messages, but while actually integration got failed. I think i made my point clearer interms of possibility of any integration.sorry, if there is any other alternatives

Is this a correct tutorial for a Windows 7 Premium 64 bit clean install. Also I have the W7 key from Belarc Advisor. I do NOT have the COA tag. I want to be sure I don't have any problems activating. Where else can I look?

As I am gathering the files to accomplish this task I was confronted with a problem. The computer I expect to do a "clean install" on is a 64 bit machine. My computer, that I will assemble and create the installation DVD is a 32bit machine. The installer, RT Seven Lite 2.6.0 Beta 64 bit, will not install on my computer so I installed the 32 bit file. Is this going to cause me a problem?

Hey Bill,

I believe you may want this one below instead if you wanted to clean install on an OEM (Asus) computer. :)

I plan to clean install on a desktop (tower) computer that I am maintaining at this Assisted Living facility, not an ASUS. I should lave made that clear. Plus I don't see the tutorial you mentioned in your post.

SIW2,
This is the one I downloaded "Windows 7 Home Premium x64 SP1 U (media refresh) X17-58997.iso". IS it the wrong one?

Your tutorial (and other places) have mentioned saving drivers in case they are needed. Is the correct path to those drivers "C:\windows\system32\drivers\". If so, why not save the entire folder. I've always wondered about this. In the past I did not carry a parachute hoping I wouldn't need it. Kinda foolhardy, huh?

You would basically need to save the downloaded driver installation files to use to reinstall them after Windows is installed instead.

Hi I know this is an old thread but just wondering if this would work with a W7 64 bit SP1 retail cd I have? I occasionally do a clean install and I have to wait for hours for windows to update the 200 or so files. Can I use this guide do extract an ISO from my DVD, uncheck the slipstream SP! tickbox and just add the updates found from the windows update website? Is there a better solution for me to integrate the 200 updates into my retail copy so installation is much quicker? How does this work in general? Has anybody noticed any errors in windows due to installing a slipstreamed version?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Bash, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Sure, this would work with your installation DVD.

You can also slipstream Windows Updates as well, but you'll have to download the MSU file for each Windows Update that you want to slipstream (include) in the created ISO.

The main issue with slipstream installation media, is that you will not be able to use it to do a repair install. You will only be able to do a clean install with it.

Thank you brink. I only do clean installs anyway so repair install not working with this method is not a problem. What about incorporating drivers into the slipstream, is it just the .inf files that i need to add to particular option in RT7lite?

I'm not sure about drivers, but they are always needing to be updated anyways. I like to keep the latest driver setup file downloaded and saved. This way I can easily just install them back to back after a clean install.

It appears the RT Se7en Lite download links are not working, even from their own website. Does that render this tutorial useless?
