Looks like anyone with a legitemate copy of windows can't slipstream. I wonder when MS will fix it.

Post by: redmenace on October 30, 2006, 03:53:37 pm: because it is easier to slip stream into than firefox. ;7 But I am still reserving judgement on IE7 though. I have found a few bugs.

Post by: redsniper on October 30, 2006, 06:14:51 pm: Yeah, I never really got what was so amazing about slipstreaming. I mean, can't you just install windows then go download firefox or opera or whatever floats your boat?
Title: Re: Slipstreaming Internet Explorer 7
Post by: redmenace on October 30, 2006, 07:18:40 pm: well there are benefits to having it installed ahead of time, including all the hot fixes.

Mostly useful if your a sysadmin and you have something that isn't easily image-able.

Post by: redmenace on October 30, 2006, 07:58:37 pm: But I am going to try this weekend to do a slip stream of ie 7 etc.
Title: Re: Slipstreaming Internet Explorer 7
Post by: redmenace on November 05, 2006, 04:16:35 pm: Yah, I have gotten it to work. You will need the following.
A XP-SP2 CD. Doesn't matter if it is OEM or a pre-slipstreamed copy.
IE7 Download[From Microsoft]
RVMUpdatePack2.1.3[contains most updates since SP2. Does not contain the .net framework. Not sure if it is necessary]
Hot Fix KB892130 [Windows Genuine Advantage]
Blank CD-R
A software program Called NLite (http://www.nliteos.com).

There is a bug I encountered. This method will make the Show Desktop Icon not in stall. Fixing this is easy as pie. If people are interested, I will post some more detailed instructions.

Because sometimes other people do.

Post by: vyper on November 05, 2006, 06:54:43 pm: Because sometimes other applications embed it. And it's wise to patch all it's holes as a result.
Title: Re: Slipstreaming Internet Explorer 7
Post by: redmenace on November 05, 2006, 07:16:03 pm: Its looking pretty good so far.

Post by: redmenace on November 06, 2006, 11:17:50 am: Sometimes, honestly, for some, it doesn't matter. For others it does. It all depends. I like IE7s enhancements and don't want to bother dealing with having multiple browsers. God only knows how many damn application I have to deal with because of the SCP.
