Shawn,

Did you try running the dism sp cleanup command against the installed drive from within booted pe ?

Hello Simon,

No I haven't tried that yet. I shall start creating one now and test it to see how it does, then post back later with the results.

Good idea. :)

It took a liitle bit of working with it, but you can now use OPTION THREE in the tutorial below to remove the Windows 7 SP1 backup files from a installed slipstream Windows 7 SP1 installation.

There you go.

It works if you do exactly that when you have slipstreamed manually ( you don't need rt7 lite, or waik - tho. it's easier to use rt7lite. )

Unfortunately, you do get the backup files left - running the command from pe works - so I figured it would also work if you had used rt7lite.

How can you slipstream Windows 7 service pack 1 without using the WAIK, or the tools provided in it?

Brink · 11 Mar 2011

I don't know, but I would think it would be much easier and less problematic to use RT7 Litealong with the tutorial on the first page of this thread.

However, you will only be able to create either a 32-bit or 64-bit all edition slipstream version. It will not create a 32-bit and 64-bit combined one.

Honestly, I don't think that's possible Bro. I haven't looked into it, but I've given it some thought. I just don't see it happening. It's easy to unloack all editions on a finished slipstream disc, but having both architectures on a single slipstreamed disc doesn't seem possible. I wouldn't be able to test it anyway, because all my Windows 7 installation DVD's are from TechNet, and they don't offer a download with both architectures on a single DVD. They have one for Office though.

But if is possible somehow, you will definately have to do it on a x64 machine. There's no way you could get a x64 disc built properly on a x86 machine.

Brink · 11 Mar 2011

I don't think it may be possible either. At least not using the program in this tutorial. It will only create a all editions one for either or, but not both.

By the way, I hope I'm not irritating you with discussing alternative methods in this thread. I'm not trying to hijack it or anything, just letting people know that there are other methods available. Whichever method they choose, is entirely up to them.

Brink · 11 Mar 2011

That's fine since it's on topic of the tutorial. :)
