Slipstreaming Vista SP-1

[Guest Clayton]

Is it possible to slipstream SP-1 into my DELL OEM Visa 64-Bit DVD?

I know it is possible to slipstream the hotfixes/updates

No, it's not possible. Vista uses an imaging scheme instead

of all the installation files as XP did. You will need a

new DVD with SP1 incorporated in the image if you want one

that way.

I assume that you have looked at vLite (from the folks who do nLite).

Apparently it is possible.

 

However,

 

If I correctly remember an answer from MS in an SP1 beta ng a couple of

months ago, the answer would be no. MS promises that capability for the

next service pack. I think the problem mentioned was that the servicing

stack needs to be updated to a new version, which is something SP1 itself

does. That is all I can remember from those threads.

Re: Slipstreaming Vista SP-1

 

Even vLite states you cannot 'slipstream' the Service Pack:

 

Service Pack compatibility (updated)

2008.01.30 by nuhi

It came to my attention that some of you expected to install

Service Pack on the lite Vista, without some components.

Unfortunatelly that is not possible, nor it was ever

expected to be because Service Pack is meant to update the

whole installation, if it detects that something is missing

it aborts.

 

So the only way to use vLite on SP1 is to use it on the

preintegrated version, meaning you can configure the Vista

DVD or ISO which already has SP1 in it. Until Microsoft

releases one you can try making your own by following this

guide. But be careful, it's not official nor easy method so

it is recommended only for the experienced users.

 

Hotfixes will work fine even if all is removed, and the best

thing is Windows Update will not list the hotfixes for the

removed components. So please don't spread the false rumors,

vLite is not aggressive as one might think before using it,

not to mention that it was tested for 14 months before these

recent publicity outbreaks.
