-or at least make it more tolerable to deal with after a fresh install?
I know you can back up and restore images, but of course that's not an option when dealing with a new machine or when the back up was also infected with malware which 'never' happens to people who don't maintain their PCs.
Anyone who has had the pleasure of installing updates after a fresh install of Windows 7 SP1 knows that it's getting ridiculous now. It takes about 3 hours and several restarts before they're finished, and it doesn't look like M$ has any plans for a rollup even though Windows 7 still has mainstream support.
I would prefer to slipstream if possible, but all of the tutorials that I've looked up are for that horrid intolerably buggy program RT7 lite.
I used to slipstream Windows XP updates with nLite which worked well. I knw there was also a way to do it via the command line, but I'm not sure if that still exists under Windows 7.
If slipstreaming isn't viable, then is there at least a way to get updates into a single package so they can be installed offline and not take forever?
