You can eliminate the programs/components from installing during setup, and the services from propagating, by creating an answer file using Windows OPK imagex in WAIK. I do not like RT7Lite because if you do not modify all of the wims', it deletes those you do not; changing the default index number (similar to Enterprise). Doing it my way you can still load up 7C and apply the tweaks section with no adverse affects or complexities.
I have attached the answer file I use. Just substitute your values for name, support etc. This answer file disables Windows Defender, System Restore, OOB games, Windows Media Center, CEIP..., adds 4 search providers-Google as default, removes extraneous language packs, logs in the administrator automatically indefinitely (you can change this and add a user account in the answer file), etc. I use WMP12 and Shark007 codec packs here:
http://shark007.net/index.html
Those that know what they are doing can modify the file in notepad, or whatever, all others use OPK imagex. At any rate, the file should be thoroughly read changing that which you want different-most of the time simply changing False to True or vise versa will achieve this. There is redundancy in some entries by design, but, if any part of the answer file is not modified exactly right, absolutely no errors, install will fail. Be smart, copy the modified file to empty floppy or USB Flash and run a trial install (F8....etc.) cancelling the install at the last moment, then, you simply automatically reboot back up and running as you were.
The result is the same as if you physically removed these components with RT7Lite or whatever, with the exception that all is reversible in the OS (Programs and Features, System etc.) and the ISO size is not reduced.

Hi,

Just a quick question... Do you need to include the windows updates in a specific order, like oldest first, or will 7Customizer apply the updates in the correct way so as to make sure that the most recent files are used?

I'm just wondering if adding the newest patch first and the oldest patch last may possibly result in the older version of a system file being used. Up to now I've just downloaded all windows updates using autopatcher, searched the AP directory for *.msu files and added them all in one go. I'm currently building an image created with this method, but I'm not sure how I would test that all updates were applied correctly/in the right order

Thanks!


edit:
Hmmm, the iso that I was building never showed up... does 7Customizer not like the iso destination being a network directory? (I'm building within a VirtualBox VM, so had the destination as a shared folder, which shows as a network location)

Also, does 7Customizer not save any settings apart from the WAIK app locations?

1: No specific order no.
2: If you can write to a networkdirectory it should work fine.
3: You have to save settings yourself.

You do not need to worry about order etc.; Windows will sort it out, but, if the requisite files are not installed the update will not integrate. As an example I attached a list of files-Requisite.jpg- that must be integrated first before the rest if you were using SoLoR's update repository. Otherwise one or two updates will not integrate; kicking out the update not applicable....7C/DISM error. This list is just to show you an example, but, applies to any update collection.

[CraZy15]

is there any way to integrate office 2007 + adobe with the OS ?

[myselfidem]

Yes!
You can use RunOnceEx method or Windows Post-Install Wizard if you want (WPI 8.1.0)

Example with RunOnceEx method:

Create the folders $OEM$ inside "sources" (Example: C:\Win7\sources\)

$OEM$\$$\SETUP\SCRIPTS\SetupComplete.cmd

$OEM$\$1\Install (folder where you have all your programs inside each folder: Office2007; Adobe; etc.)


Example:
SetupComplete.cmd

@echo off

Win7 SP1 has been released - can it be integrated/slipstreamed using the Updates tab or will you add a Service Pack tab in the future or is it not possible to include SP1 as an update under any conditions?

[grabben]

You can use DISM to integrate it but it requires some editing of 3 files for slipstreaming and you wont be integrating a *.cab file but a folder so I dont think 7C can do this..

[coprua]

@ myselfidem

Thanks a lot for your scripts.

Can you help me to how to do or have a script for UltraISO . I have setup.exe and Serial Number.txt.

Serial Number.txt includes:

Name: AAA BBBB
Code: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

Thanks so much for your help in advance.

Have a good day.

[myselfidem]

I don't use UltraISO, but you can find some help about silent install, here:

Yes, I have a DVD+R that contains the 5 .wim files for the x86 and another DVD+R that contains the other 5 .wim files for the x64 windows 7 os's. I would love to be able to slipstream all the images with the sp1 update as well. I have tried with the RT Seven software, and it's slow as molasses (ver.2.6 that is)...and I understand 7C cannot do it at all with ver. 0.5...hopefully an update soon? it's painful to install sp1 after doing the install of windows 7

There's only 4 *version for 64bit excl. enterprise.
x86 then has 6 versions

[dlancelot]

Thank you for pointing that out Grabben, you are correct, I had to double check. Do you know how this is possible to achieve efficiently? Or, does a guy have to do it manually, one by one? How did the guys do it that were running vista? I also have those in an "all-in-one" format.

Hello chiefZeke, grabben & anyone,

I need both your help to resolve or explain to me a way that I can integrate/slimstream Windows 7 SP1 using 7Customizer. I have being googling and reading for the last month now trying to find a utility that will allow me to Slimstream Windows 7 SP1 using 7Customizer with no luck. After reading both your post on March 30-31, 2011 I was hoping that you found an easy and simple straight forward way to do it.


Grabben, in your post you mention that DISM could be use for Slimstreaming the SP1 but 3 files had to be changed. Could I get you to list the 3 files that need to be edited and anything else that need to be done that will allow me to use 7Customizer to do the slimstream for Windows 7 SP1. This really would make my day and I can move forward in building my image and ISO. Thanks

P.S. I hope 7Customizer come out soon with a new version that will include a slimstream options.

OMG DO NOT DOUBLE AND TRIPLE POST!!!

It is against the rules and HIGHLY frowned upon....

[Sicarus]

Is there a pack or something with all the useful updates in them for convenient downloading? I think it could take quite some time to download them all one by one.....

awesome job, by the way! Windows7Customizer is really easy to learn and use... Thank you!

[myselfidem]

You can use Post SP1 updates for Windows 7 ULZ made by steven4554

Choose the ULZ file you need:
http://www.msfn.org/...dated-14062011/

You need to download Windows Updates Downloader:
http://www.windowsup...downloader.com/

http://www.msfn.org/...250-build-1000/

When it's done, double-click on the ULZ file to install this one and launch Windows Updates Dowloader!
