When SP1 comes out I want to slipstream it I already have a disk copy program.
I need detailed instructions and if I have to buy or get any other free software.

When SP1 is released, download that administrative EXE file from the Microsoft download
site.
After you download the EXE (and I can imagine it being pretty large), execute the EXE file
with the /? (help) switch parameter. It will then show all the available switch parameters.
One will be for slipstreaming the service pack into the installation files.
Example from WinXP which assumes the WinXP installation files exist on the "C:" drive as;
c:\i386

I don't think these two ways is what I thought I could do.
I wanted to copy my RTM to a temp directory than somehow add the SP1 files to update it
do whatever other steps are necessary.
then copy the ISO image to a DVD.

That's exactly what can be done. First you copy the installation files form the
distribution DVD(if they aren't there alfready) then you slipstream the installation files
and subsequently burn a new DVD.
This is what I have done for Win2K and WinXP and I doubt there would be a difference with
Vista.
Hi David,
Please excuse me for being stupid on this but from what I read in the other post you have to install a new RTM on a
separate partition then put in the SP1. I guess this also requires a dual boot?
I don't have the space to do that and it's confusing at least for me.
Don't even know what reverse-integration is?
The first step in this is:
>Install Vista RTM to a secondary partition (not the main boot partition). The primary reason for this is one doesn’t want all the boot associated files of that computer related to BCD and boot.ini being part of the final image.
I though I could copy the whole DVD to a temp folder then put the SP1 files in to update it?
No?
Are you saying that I just have to copy the installation files and NOT the whole DVD?
Where are they?
Then somehow make a ISO image to put on a DVD.
I guess I have to wait till there is a link to show how to do this!
