Yes!!

It is very different though to the direct slipping method.
Just an alternative.

Hi, it's been a while since i was here. I have been working on a few projects over the last few weeks. Just tools to make things easier if you mass deploy images. One of these tools is a module maker that makes modules for you. These modules can contain absolutely anything from drivers and apps to l...

hi just wondering if anyone knows anything about napp 7 cd

Hi, thanks. i was looking for a more permenant one. Can i backup the files you mentioned with the tool i found, then slip the key using DISM and then copy the other 2 files to the required location and then commit the wim.
Will this work?.

Hi i have a windows 7 pc and it is activated. I would like to know how to image the drive to wim and keep the activation so i dont need to activate again.

electrogen

I used to use MS Virtual PC but was too slow. So changed to VirtualBox.

electrogen

I dont think they have been made yet. But you could just download the updates yourself and slip them with WISM. It's not hard to do.

electrogen

1st post updated

electrogen

i understand that but we cant maintain vista update packs and code programmes for W7 and lead normal day to day lives all at the same time its just not possible. Also Muiz mentioned a few posts up that other people could maintain the vista update packs if they so wish. as we are short of time.

electrogen

I dont think it's dead it's just windows 7 will be released in a few weeks so we are getting ready for it. Updating programmes and time is short these days.

electrogen

yoiu could try using WAIK and "do it yourself". i dont mean to sound direct i have problems finding right words.

You can use WSIM to create an answer file that can be used with vista setup.exe to customize setup and installation.

electrogen

No Vista SP2 yet, just for OEM's

I have a small request for Vista-tool 2.0. Could you add a command "%ERRORLEVEL%" and if this returns anything but 0, then there should be an error box and the image is unmounted and disposed as this is the reason that some installations are being corrupted. (Some updates are for different locales i...

electrogen

It isnt just a matter of IE7 updates importing MCE updates on say vista starter will mean that they cant be installed and will fail. This fail alond can be enough for the installation to be corrupt.

electrogen

There is also a cumulative update fore media centre edition that wipes out a couple of the ehome updates.

KB960544 is the new cumulative update for Media Centre (Vista) and all these have veen superceded.

It's after adding the update pack that it goes into the endless restarting loop. Either one works fine alone but when combined is when it messes up. I'm not sure which update causes it, but something is. Try removing the old IE7 updates as this can sometimes lead to all kind of problems if slipped ...

It has been done but in another language.

electrogen

you can also delete the natural language files if you dont use this component as these weigh about 2GB

I couldnt tell you about the updates for mce as i now use vista for the live system, but you should be able to use anything that works for Windows XP. onepiece´s AIO pack will also work fine as i tried that the other day aswell, and you could use some of the icon packs aswell to change the look of M...

What have you tried to slip The last time i did it was the other day and i used the latest RVM pack, WMP11 slipstreamer & MrNXDMX's IE7. It works fine for me. As for the different version WMP the WMP11 slipstreamer replaces the dafealt one in MCE. I had tried to do a MCE Update pack about a year ago...

Ryanm pack should work with MCE.
I have used Ryan's packs before on media centre edition 2005, and it's flawless

We already know about this, but thx anyway ;) i was just saying that it is easier in my oppinion to do it the original way. all the vista tools etc have failed to what i needed to do at the time and using WAIK directly solved the arrised problems.

electrogen

There is also the documentation that comes with WAIK, WOPK. That is why using WAIK or WOPK direct is the best method. Even though these vista tools use WAIK, they are set commands so will not work in all circumstances. As for iso 4gb problem see this site. -m Ignores the maximum size limit of an ima...

And works consistently, if not, somethings wrong at your end im afraid. Just seems like your tool works sometimes, sometimes not.

Does anyone know where i can buy heat pipes from. Especially the ones for chipset & VRM?.

Yeah i agree Vista is the dogs Bollocks

I didn't like it before SP1, too slow for what i needed it to do.
But with SP1 it's alot quicker especially with ReadyBoost.

Well it looks like Vista SP1 can now be slipped with "WAIK".
