Update your Win 7 installation media

[SIW2]

It is only possible to mount an image to an empty folder.

So boot.wim cannot have been in there.

You must have extracted the iso somewhere else.

okay I started over again, since it was all deleted
will let ya know , thanks hopefully i finally get it right

okay so i don't need the folders in the mount to go into the extracted iso ,
if dism++ doesn't install them then i don't need them correct ?

 

[SIW2]

I am not sure what you are asking.

Are you planning to run 7updaterv64f.cmd ? If you do that, you should not need to run dism++.

It is only because something seemed to go wrong with what you did before that it was suggested you try integrating the usb3 with dism++.

The extracted-iso folder is completely separate from the empty folder used for mounting.

The image in extracted-iso\sources\install.wim is mounted into a separate empty folder.

updates/drivers are added to the mounted image

the changes made to mounted image are saved into the install.wim

when the mounted image is unmounted, the mount folder is empty again and the install.wim in extracted-iso\sources is larger.

I think i finally got it, except one thing,
I am splitting the install.wim its 4.8 gb, with 7up.
do i save the swm's to the same folder as the install.wim which is in the extracted-iso folder that I'm going to delete after








now i have this , do i just delete the install.wim and thats it or ?

 

[SIW2]

do i save the swm's to the same folder as the install.wim

Yes, you can do that .

now i have this , do i just delete the install.wim and thats it

Yes, you can delete install.wim , or move it somewhere else if you want to keep it.

 

[dslgirl]

do i have to rename either of the swm files ?

 

[SIW2]

They already have the correct names. setup is expecting install.swm, install2.swm

What did I do wrong please,

 

[pos0]

For some reason, the UpdatePack is giving me an error:
"Failed to mount the image, the error code: 11."
I've searched the forums and didn't find anything. I'm trying to add USB 3.0 drivers to my Windows 7 Professional x64 ISO.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

 

[SIW2]

If that is a message from the updatepack, then ask at simplix forum.
I dont know the error codes for that program.

You could try the obvious things, like running checkdisk and system file check in case there are errors with your current running system.

i bought a nvidia geforce GT1030 graphics card , for windows 7 ,
do you by chance know if there is drivers in your big 7z drivers,
i can only find install files, not just the info file , so not sure how to get into iso

thanks for all you do,
hopefully someday ill get there

Also would it be better to put on dvd, its small enough ?
maybe wouldnt keep getting frozen lights lol

dslgirl:
If you're using the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 graphics card with Windows 7 64-bit, you might want to stick with the NVIDIA GeForce 391.35 driver.
NVIDIA DRIVERS GeForce Game Ready Driver WHQL
It's hit or miss, but you may have a display problem if you use one of the more current Windows 7 64-bit drivers.

So basically sounds like i got the wrong video card ?

figures , ill try but what video card should i get if that dont work please .
i will try from the list you gave me , but those are setup which i cant put on bootable usb correct ?
could that be why dism++ wouldnt let me install them? cuz I used the latest one ?

 

[flavallee]

It's a stand-alone executable(.exe) file which you need to download and save and then run.
After it checks your system for compatibility, it gives you choices how to install the graphics driver.
I always select a clean install and uncheck the options I don't need.

If you're wanting to integrate the graphics driver into SIW2's tool in post #1, he will need to help you.

hi,
i extracted the files with 7 zip, then pointed dism++ to older graphics card NVIDIA GeForce 391.35 driver. inf files
got this error , did i do something wrong, or is it okay cuz 6 were done.



thanks in advance,
I'll be ecstatic if I ever get this done,
sorry for being a big pain, but im trying to learn.

 

[dslgirl]

Hi,
Does anyone know of a website you can put the error codes in and see what you did wrong ?

Thanks

 

[SIW2]

The message in your screenshot says akeo.ie so perhaps ask there. It is the rufus site.

thanks, but I didn't use Rufus, as above I copied to usb ?
Which it was you said I could do instead of Rufus

still working on this , im going crazy though
Could it be that 7updater did it?
