I need to modify windows vista and 7 images.
I currently have waik for windows 7 installed.
dism doesnt like vista so how do I fix this.
I understand that I cannot use windows 7 waik to modify a vista image but I dont want to lose the ability to modify 7 images. How do I do this? Thanks for your help!

DISM works with Vista Sp1/Sp2 images. Which issue do you have?

im working with an sp0 vista image.
I just did some more research and apparently you cannot slipstream sp1 into vista safely.
I vaguely remember seeing a way to download some .exe's from microsoft and make your own iso's. I may have to look into this.

you can slipstream the Sp1 with the reverse integration (audit mode, Sp1 install, sysprep, capture image with ImageX). Now DISM works. Vista Sp1 will be out of support on 12th July 2011. so slipstream the Sp2, too.
