Creating Server 2008 R2 SP1 Slipstream Disk

[owensdj]

Now that SP1 is out for Win7 and Server 2008 R2, I was wondering how to create a Server 2008 R2 SP1 slipstream disk?

Do either of these apply to Server 2008 R2, or just Windows 7?

I don't have a copy of server 2008 R2 to test it with but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

The RT7 Lite site mentions Windows Automated Installation Kit as a requirement. Is that something I would need to install if I just wanted to use RT7 Lite on a Win7 system to create a Win7 or Server 2008 R2 slipstream disk?

i have never had it installed and have had no problems, let me ask in the forums to make sure

Good tutorial, too bad you posted it on a sh*thole forum.

Can you slipstream a OEM copy? Some people say you can some say you can't. I haven't tried it yet.

 

[Makaveli]

Yes it will work on a OEM copy.

Can you run RT7 Lite on a 32-bit install of Win7 and use it to slipstream a 64-bit Win7 disk?

Can you run RT7 Lite on a 32-bit install of Win7 and use it to slipstream a 64-bit Win7 disk?

The last version of RT7 lite that I used won't allow this.

You have to be in a 64bit environment to slipstream a 64bit iso.

I read that thread again you linked to on Hard Forum. Joe_Average mentions that RT7 lite makes alterations to files? Can anybody elaborate on that?


"The issue I'm concerned with is that RT Seven Lite makes some alterations to files when it creates a specific edition ISO that won't be exactly the same as the "official" ISO from Microsoft, hence me knowing that this was just an exercise and not a serious thing at this point. I won't use this SP1 integrated installation USB stick (or the ISO I created) for client machines, only my own hardware for the testing until that official ISO appears. "

You have to be in a 64bit environment to slipstream a 64bit iso.

And why is that? If you have a Windows 7 x64 pre SP1 DVD doesn't it just need the files from that and the SP1 package downloaded from MS? Why does it matter what version of Windows you run it on?
