Update your Win 7 installation media

[SIW2]

Did you turn off your antivirus?

At the end of which process?

When did that message occur?

Did you select a single image or ALL?

What do you have in the extracted-iso folder?

Please see below quote

Did you turn off your antivirus? Yes, I don't have any

At the end of which process? Seems to be after it finished updating the specific version I selected. I saw the unmount of the wim and then it blanks out and only shows the message, returns me to the prompt

When did that message occur? See above

Did you select a single image or ALL? I can select either single image or all, it will do the same at the end.

What do you have in the extracted-iso folder?
Anything specific I should look for? When I tried to run the setup directly after the failure, setup fails like the poster couple post above me.

You can see if the boot.wim and install.wim are different sizes from the original.

You could also run wim-info.cmd and select whatever image you updated and see what that tells you.

When I tried to run the setup directly after the failure, setup fails like the poster couple post above me.

I don't know waht you mean by that. The previous poster created a usb stick ( nothing to do with this program ) and doesn't seem able to access the one time boot menu on his HP machine ( also nothing to with this program)

Here is a way to get your installation media up to date: Includes "universal" usb3 , standard oem nvme drivers and MS nvme updates

Download:
7Updater 7UPv54.zip
Download:
Small downloader which can be run to download the latest Simplix updatepack ( about 850mb).
https://update7.simplix.info/UpdatePack7R2.exe
OR
UpdatePack7R2-20.8.13.exe

1. Extract the 7UPv50.zip directly to the root of the drive, so you have C:\7UPv50 folder.

2. Put the UpdatePack7R2-date.exe in the C:\7UPv50 folder.

3. Copy and paste your installation media to a hard drive.
(Or use ISO-EXTRACT.cmd to extract your windows 7 iso file.)

4. Right click and Run as administrator on the the 7UPDATERv50.cmd

SCREENSHOTS HERE

NOTE: It is not required to use simplix update pack. If you only want to integrate the usb3 and nvme drivers, Run 7updater.cmd without simplix update pack present.

HELLO AGAIN SIW2....ive used your program to update the win 7 ultimate edition iso that i wanted to install so heres some background history and the results...

first of all im on a friends machine with the bios set to UEFI mode...
the samsung SSD NVMe drive has win 10 on partition C & id like to install win 7 in partition D...
im including some screen shots & pictures of some errors ive gotten trying to boot into various partitions...

what id like to do is have everything set to UEFI in the bis & use all the drives in GPT mode but im not sure if thats possible as ive heard from some that windows WILL NOT install onto a GPT disk..

 

[ShArKy]

ID LIKE TO FINALLY GET TO THIS SCREEN where the boot menu is the windows 10 style

 

[ShArKy]

is there any way to change the boot screen back to a windows 10 style once windows 7 is installed last?

 

[SIW2]

In win 10 elevated command prompt:
bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy standard

 

[Megahertz07]

You can't install as UEFI in disk 1 partition 1 (F because the disk is MBR and not GPT.
You want to install on disk 2, partition ? (D.

UpdatePack7R2-20.9.10 on first post

 

[Ritjesman]

[04] Mount the image from the install.wim [main menu screen, click File, and select Mount Image].
[05] Highlight the mounted image [at the top].
[06] Click Updates in the left hand menu.
[07] Click Scan.!

Hi Paul - I'm trying to follow the proc you posted on 25 Aug 2018 and am stuck at step 7 (although there's an anomaly with 5-6: if I highlight the mounted image at the top only a blank screen with "Open Session" shows in the working area; to get the left hand menu my local OS drive needs to be highlighted). Clicking on Scan results in error #1 and attempting to add the Siimplix exe results in error #2:



Any idea what I'm doing wrong?


Thanx in advance for your help.

 

[SIW2]

If I highlight the mounted image at the top only a blank screen with "Open Session" shows in the working area

Click Open Session to work on the mounted image

For dism ++ to scan for new updates download wsusscn3.cab into the dism++ config folder

Your question is not to do with 7UP project, which uses simplix for integrating updates. Dism++ is a different way of integrating updates.

If you want to integrate your own drivers, please put them in the relevant folder beforehand.

for 64bit use the DRIVERS\Bootx64 and DRIVERS\Installx64 folders

SIW2:

I would like to integrate these drivers in the above described location:
Intel Q87 chipset 10.1.1.42
Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller 5.0.4.43
Intel I217-LM Gigabit Ethernet 12.17.8.7
Intel HD Graphics 4600 10.18.14.5143
Realtek ALC3220 High Definition Audio 6.0.8978.1

Since they're all in executable files(.exe), how exactly would I go about doing that?

 

[SIW2]

You won't need Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller 5.0.4.43 because 7UP installs the usb3 stack.

7-zip is a handy way of unpacking most driver exe files

DRIVERS\Bootx64 is only for drivers you want to integrate into boot.wim and winre.wim

 

[flavallee]

I know how to use 7-ZIP to extract the contents of a .exe or .msu or .cab or .zip file, but the rest of the process sounds too complicated for me. Thanks.

 

[SIW2]

Drivers in the DRIVERS\Installx64 will be integrated into Install.wim

Drivers in the DRIVERS\bootx64 will be integrated into the bootable wim files.

Integration is performed by microsoft dism.

Your question is not to do with 7UP project, which uses simplix for integrating updates. Dism++ is a different way of integrating updates.

Hi SWI2 - Thanx for answering my question despite it being only tangentially related and also for the clarification. My question sprang from the series of DISM++ focused posts starting w/post #13. Having successfully used 7UPDATER I was attempting to understand what extra DISM++ brings to the party...

First of all thanks for kkeping alive this thread. Amazing work. Im building a machine for a friend that requires win 7 and i recomended to him the amd 3200g, but never imagine all the problems i was gonna face. I download a win7 iso with the usb 3.0 drivers and all the versions, i manage to install succesfully with the keyboard an mouse connected to the usb ports, but now on the Write your pc name screen it wont detect again the keyboard and mouse...

Install this update ( if it is already installed ,there will be a not applicable message, no harm done):
View attachment windows6.1-kb2864202-x64.zip
and then install these drivers:
View attachment xhcix64.zip

Dism++ is useful for this. View attachment Dism++10.1.1000.100.zip
