Slipstream Windows 7 SP1 into a Installation DVD or ISO File

I hope this is of interest to some people here.
Just spent much of the last few days (and many cycles of builds) trying different scenarios to try and get a build that didn't require a lot of updates from Windows Update after install. It appears that the order might be significant for some series of updates. And a few just refuse to get incorporated into the build. Or I didn't get the order exactly correct. All told, I put about 115 updates into the mix. With the help of some work in Excel and Cmd operations I managed to semi-automatically get the updates in a reasonably sane order. Still 6 updates didn't make it into the build and 2 I didn't include because wasn't sure how to include them. And one I couldn't find to download from Windows Update Catalog.
The next time updates come out, I'm going to try to add the additional ones to that last build I did.
Boy, I'll be glad when SP2 comes out (I think) and there aren't this slew of updates to include.

Thanks Brink. Wow, what a mess. After trying to delete the temp file in that location for several minutes I just changed the name and it worked. After uninstalling and reinstalling RT 7, all is well.
I made a new ISO and used the Windows USB Download Tool to create the USB stick. When it got to 100% it just took a long time to finish with the OK. Maybe because I was using a 32Gig USB Stick. Kind of a waste but the only other drives I have are 4Gig and that is too small. I have ordered some 8 and 16Gig drives.
I haven't had time to test it yet. I am at work now and my laptop doesn't allow me to boot from the usb port.
What I don't understand is the step 16 in the tutorial:
16. To Create a Slipstream Windows 7 SP1 Bootable Installation USB Flash Drive
Doesn't that create a bootable USB Drive?

Barry,
Yep, step 16 is if you wanted to create a bootable USB with RT Seven Lite.
I was only pointing out that if you already made the ISO in RT Seven Lite, then there's no need to go through all this again in RT Seven Lite to create a bootable USB when all you have to do instead is to extract the ISO to a USB to make it bootable as in the NOTE box in step 15D. It's much faster that way unless you were wanting to make changes to the ISO in RT Seven Lite first, then use step 16 to create a bootable USB.
Just another option, but it's basically just whatever you would like to do though. :)

I just made an AIO install disc using this method from Windows 7 Forums - View Profile: Kaktussoft
Both iso's are SP1 integrated, worked flawlessly!
No updates, fresh install with SP1.
Finished size of iso is 4.06 Gb
I couldn't find that method on the forums. Where is it and is it a tutorial?
What is an unlocked ISO?

win7 install iso's have a little configuration file inside - to prevent people installing the wrong edition by mistake.
All the Editions are in there.
You can remove/toggle that configuration file to make all editions available.
The link is to a program which allegedly does the whole job of making an all in one iso for you.
There may be some instructions on the program site.

I finished my USB with SP1 last night but want to start again. Need to make a few changes.
One question I need to know is, where is the ie.cfg file and how do I remove it?
Do I need a special program to remove it?
OK, that was two.
