windows 7 slipstream

Make sure that you have burned the right iso.

I hope you have downloaded ie9 64 bit version msu.



Ded9

i did ded9 -in fact, i have both, since i intend to make the 32 and 64-bit version

You cannot integrate both in iso...it wil not work ...if you have windows 7 64 bit then u need to download 64 bit ie which will automatically update the 32 bit ie that is installed in your computer.


You cannot install 32 bit IE in windows 7 64 bit.



Ded9

DED, i KNOW that - i intend to make several dvd's for testing
please give a solution,

Use vlite for integrating IE9

http://www.vlite.net/

works with windows 7



Ded9

that is not for making an install DVD, if i'm correct, yes?  NOT what i want then

for IE9 the proper procedure is to use the IE9 administration kit (it will download the components needed) and then use the runonce options in r7lite to install the language pack and ie9.
remember that you cannot make 64bit media using a 32 bit machine but you can make 32 bit media on a 64 bit machine.

Internet Explorer 9 Preinstallation Techniques
This document provides information and instructions necessary for IT Professionals to preinstall the Windows® Internet Explorer®  9 Internet browser, as well as any additional Internet components on Windows  7, or Windows Server  2008.
Also, this document provides a list of unattend settings that can be used to automate configuration and deployment of Internet Explorer 9.
Preinstalling Internet Explorer 9 on Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2
You can preinstall Internet Explorer 9 on Windows 7 by slipstreaming Internet Explorer 9 into the operating-system image.
1. Install the Windows OEM Preinstallation Kit (Windows OPK) that matches your local computer configuration.
2. Copy the .wim file that contains Windows 7 to a location on your local drive. For example, C:\Slipstreaming\Win7x86ENU\install.wim.
3. Create a folder for the mounted image. For example: C:\Slipstreaming\Mount.
4. Download Internet Explorer 9 and put it in a directory in the C:\Slipstreaming directory. For example, C:\Slipstreaming\IE9-Windows7-x86-enu.exe
5. Open a Command Prompt window and extract the cabinet (.cab) file from the Internet Explorer setup executable, by typing:
<Path_to_IE90_Setup> /x:<CAB_File_Location> where Path_to_IE90_Setup is the location of your Internet Explorer 9 setup executable and the CAB_File_Location where to store the extracted .cab file.
For example: C:\Slipstreaming\IE9-Windows7-x86-enu.exe /x:C:\Slipstreaming\IE9Win7x86ENU

How to slipstream Windows 7 Service Pack 1 using RT 7 Lite? ...check the link that is included in nobus question.

One thing you need to remember when you install your Windows 7 from the DVD you have built with rt7lite, the language pack is only available for ultimate and enterprise versions (not sure about Professional). So if you have installed one of the home versions during your test no language pack gets integrated.

hello guys and gals  - thanks for helping; appreciated
@rindi    i have ultimate version
@willcomp : that will be the cause i think - downloading now - i'll post results (never saw the requirements)
@merete : yes that's what i use
@ ded : tx for continued support

Are you sure you selected the right version? Windows 7 Media include all versions except enterprise. When you start rt7lite you have to select the version from a list after you have loaded the source (you should be able to select between starter, home basic, home premium, Pro and ultimate, leave out starter for the 64bit versions from the list). If you don't select the correct version here and also later during the actual OS installation your integrated things won't apply.

If you are using an OEM DVD, then the above doesn't necessarily apply, but with OEM media I don't think you can use rt7lite (I had tried to integrate the SP1 into an ASUS windows 7 Upgrade DVD), and that didn't work, while with a normal Windows 7 DVD it did work. Also the ASUS DVD only had the professional version to select from.

i answered that (first question from ded9) but you may have missed that, rindi
to answer it completely - afaic - i have a w7 32 and 64 bit ultimate english, and i want to make an install cd from both, including - if possible - IE9, language pack dutch  - maybe SP1 ?  but they told me that is not ready yet
as a bonus - if i can integrate also applications - that would be nice - but not necessary, since i plan to make images from the fully installed version(s)
my goal is to see what i can integrate, and what not - in short i'm learning how to use the integrating software
it is all for personal testing - so no problems with licences etc, or duplicate versions
it all originnated when i made some years ago an integrated install of XP SP3, which has served me well, so i try (a bit late maybe) to do the same for W7

i hope this answers most questions??

@ willcomp : in your opinion, is WAIK needed?  they post the download link for W7, and say just underneath :"" Note: WAIK is needed only for Windows Vista and Server 2008 platform "" ?
a bit confusing that is

thanks rindi - very useful guide; it sounds like a LOT of job ahead for me...

It does take some time, but of course a fast PC helps...

i have a rather fast one - 8 Gb ram, and an SSD

After re-reading the requirements, I'm not sure if WAIK is needed for Win7. It appears that it is not. Seems rindi has some experience with RTSe7enLite, he should know.

tx willcomp and rindi
i will be trying it over the weekend, and hope to post some results by then

update : i downloaded the dotnet3.5 software, but it did not do anything (maybe i'm already on a later version? programs show i have dotnet4) so i still stand where i started

@rindi : you poste "You can slipstream SP1, but you will need a previous version of the utility (rt7lite Beta "   why is that ?  can you show where you found that?  because i did not see a trace of it

It's on the rt7 download site, further down the page (about halfway down):

http://www.rt7lite.com/downloads.html

I don't think earlier versions of .net are shown if you have version 4 installed (On my system there is only V4 and no earlier version, Windowsupdate doesn't show any earlier versions either).

yes  i found that - but i din't understand why i have to use it?

It specifically has an option for slipstreaming the servicepack, the newer or non beta versions don't include that yet. When you start that version and I think right after you have selected the Windows 7 Source version, you can select to provide the servicepack.

ok rindi, i understand better now; strange they let you in the "normal" version slipstream the SP without notice..
i'll try that and post results

rindi - i was able to slipstream SP1 this weekend, so it seems you answered my question, thanks again
now i 'll need to integrate the language pack also, and IE9
thanks also to willcomp for reminding me of the requirements

i hope this is fair to everybody?

Add IE 9 as an additional program and not as an update in windows R7Lite
