    So now we need a new tutorial with IE9, the final version just released today!
    Hello Bill,

    Windows Update - Download Standalone MSU Installer File

    For now, IE9 MSU download links. :)
    That should work. Thanks.

    No MSU for IE 9! When you right click on the "Windows Internet Explorer 9" item found only in Installed Updates the uninstall option is all you see. The description below when highlighted shows a go dot MS something but not actual link.

    When manually typing that into the address bar you won't end up at MS for any information page. So the exe version will simply have to added in through applications on the next slipstream.

    The links I posted above for the IE9 MSU files did not work for you? They still do for me.

    I have both of them now but missed the links you had added in.

    When first replying I had been looking to download them directly as you would other updates only no working link as you see in the attached image seen in the Installed Updates and no page linking off from the IE 9 pages.

    Where did you find the infotmation for those? I've been all over the support site and only located the prerequisites.

    I created a new slipstreamed disk today and re installed and still have the backup files showing under disk cleanup.Anyone found out how to remove this yet or if its a bug with the RT7.

    p.s Cant manually find these files though

    Hello Danny,

    Sorry, but as far as I know the Windows SP1 backup files cannot be removed when installed using a slipstream Windows 7 SP1.
    Firstly, Thank you Brink for this excellent tutorial! As an average user this tut was precisely what I was looking for.

    As for the above quoted exchange, I also had this problem when testing my slipstreamed DVD in VMWare--I could not delete the SP backup files using Disk Cleanup, extended cleanup or the SP1 Disk Cleanup Tool. However, after installing the first batch of Windows Updates--which included the "System Update Readiness Tool"--I was able to successfully remove the SP backup files using Disk Cleanup.

    Is this method better than doing an install of Windows 7 then installing SP1 after? What are the advantages of slipstreaming?

    Hello Thumper,

    Slipstreaming the SP1 allows you to install Windows 7 with the SP1 already installed (integrated) into the Windows 7 installation instead of having to install Windows 7 and installing SP1 separately. It's faster with the slipstream.

    Plus, if you install with the Slipstream Windows 7 SP1, you can use the slipstream Windows 7 installation disc to do a repair install with. If you installed Windows 7, and installed SP1 afterwards, you would not be able to use the Windows 7 installation DVD or slipstream Windows 7 SP1 DVD to do a repair install with.

    In addition, you can update your slipstream Windows 7 SP1 installation ISO/USB/DVD by being able to add new Windows Updates to it so you would not have to install them separately if you needed to do a clean install with it.

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn
