    David,

    I'll leave it up to up you, but that would be fine as well. :)

    Okie dokie then, I'll do a tut of that method first. I happen to have a few empty HDD's layin' around at the moment, so it won't be too bad. I'll try to capture as many images as I can. I've found that noobs really like pics in their tuts to guide them along. I'll need a few days though, to make a really good one up. That one I linked you to is really HORRIBLE! LOL

    I'll also use a different ISO program that will let you do what you need it for while still being trialware. That guy used ISObuster, and it won't let you extract from an ISO unless you have a paid for version. Kinda' defeats the purpose of a tut doesn't it?

    OK David, that is the well known reverse integration method.

    Pics would be pretty, of course.


    There is another way - will have a go if I get time.

    As far as I know, that's NOT the reverse integration method that we could do with XP [using the command prompt to integrate the service pack]. The WAIK is not involved with reverse integration, and you can't do that method on any Windows OS above XP. Of course, I won't argue semantics with you. You could be correct, but I'm pretty sure this method is not called "reverse integration."

    At any rate, this method only uses a third party program to edit, and burn an ISO. It's Microsoft's own WAIK that compiles the OS image. I never liked the idea of a third party program compiling a Windows OS image. They are too "buggy." Plus, this will familiarize users with the WAIK, and then they can start using it for other purposes. It really helps to know as much about Microsoft's tools as one can IMHO.

    There's no doubt it would have to be involved! The term "simplify" was to do the best you can in illustrating it in layman's terms for the not so savay at C++ and HTML.

    For most I concur with Shawn on a gui approach not just to make something available for the novice but also for those more experienced that simply don't have the free time available to take a more involved approach. If you need to get things done within a certain amount of time the beta here will be a big help.

    I can add an update on the dvd option seeing the two SP1 images for the Ultimate(32, 64) and other two Home Premium machine to update there presently running the 64bit as well burned in one session. All went well! Now to get to find a chance to update the other system since the owner is often not availble. Prime example of why having gui option can save the day!

    It might be different from how you did it in XP - but it has always been called reverse integration in Vista.

    Oh I'm not knocking Shawn's method at all. I just thought it might be cool for others to have an alternative method with Microsoft ONLY as the OS image compiler. Less chance of bugs that way my friend.

    If you say so, but there's no "integration" involved. In XP you actually typed a "integrate" command into the command prompt, and thus it recieved it's method name. I believe there is indeed a difference between integrating a service pack, and pre-installing a service pack, then "capturing" the OS image. But like I said, it's not worth arguing over semantics.

    You won't hear any objections here! As for the RT Seven Lite well... it's in beta! "beta loves bugs"!

    By the way, in case anyone is wondering what kind of tools are in the WAIK, here they are....



    As you can see, there is EVERYTHING imaginable in the WAIK, to create whatever kind of bootable installation DVD your heart could possibly desire. It's the ONLY tool you really need. And of course, it's furnished for free by the good folks at Microsoft!
