Modificatioins: VC10 Runtimes removed from the pack. gdiplus.dll removed from the pack. Changed defaut option - Last Saved by - Don't change on save ----- this is what I mentioned above, not touching SummaryInfo. Allow hacking the executable to grant generating LZX-compressed cab files. (commandline switch: HACKLZX=1) Download the updated/repacked installer http://adf.ly/1713566/instedmsiMD5: 9d3afa16be6c4e70bd985af58b666428 Size: 2.04 MB Or download the MST so you can apply it to current (or future) version of InstEd yourself http://adf.ly/1713566/instedmst

I am going to attempt to document the process that I use to make my images using WinToolKit and a few other tools. This will be a bit of an ongoing documentary and I hope this will be helpful to others and I am also very open to the forum for suggestions and improvements .. after all I have learned everything I know about integration's from the numerous forums I am a member of. I do not profess to be any kind of expert or authority, in fact quite the contrary... I am a professional in the IT field but I am learning everyday and humbled all the time I would be remiss if I didn't start with some thanks to the many individuals and groups that have helped me for the years I have been doing this and if I missed anyone please forgive me as it is only an oversight and not a lack or appreciation. In no particular order My Thanks: RyanVM http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/index.php and far too many individuals on the forum to list here... for me this is where it began and I spent years doing amazing XP integration's thanks to the forum and the members DriverPacks http://forum.driverpacks.net again what can I say... they are unrivaled in their excellence at what they do and they literally did what no one else could at a time when the industry that was truly in turmoil. They then continued to provide something that no one else came close to. They helped me for years and I rely on them still WinCert & My Digital Life http://forums.mydigitallife.info/forum.php have taken my skills with Win 7 to an entirely new level... can't thank them enough for the tools they have brought to me Ricktendo http://www.wincert.net/forum/topic/10480-slim-net-framework-45-full-x86x64-1-08-2013/ has been my reliable single source of .Net development pretty much from day one McRip http://hotfix.cesidian.info , Komm http://windows-update-checker.com , Burfadel http://burf.cesidian.info/ , what can I say!!! Without your work I would give up and I am in awe... I could never do an image without your work and what your scripts do is magic Liam, this is simply the most amazing tool and the best supported/developed overall integration tool PERIOD! I will definitely mention other individuals as I continue this log Liam and/or Kel If this in inappropriate in any way or not what you want please just let me know and I will cease Lastly everyone be patient I am not a technical writer and for that matter I grew up in New York and some say I barely speak English :-)

THIS TUTORIAL ISN'T FINISHED YET SO STAY TUNED I WILL EXPLAIN MORE DETAILED BUT AT THIS POINT YOU CAN START WITH THE INFORMATION I PRESENT HERE Why: No need of any boot media except network connection Easy Update of Installer changes No space boarder (no DL-DVD or big USB Stick needed) Requirements: DHCP Server with Option 66 and 67 enabled and configured TFTP Server Syslinux Microsoft Windows AIK Windows 7 Installation files Steps to procede: Setup DHCP Server Prepare the Base Directory for TFTP Server Prepare WinPE to Start Windows Setup Tell Windows Setup howto find Wintoolkit_Apps folder: Setup DHCP Server: For my case (Corporate) i have a running Microsoft DHCP Server (Windows Server 2003) Just enable the DHCP Options 66 and 67 Option 66 is the Hostname or IP of the machine where TFTP Server is running on Option 67 is the Boot filename from TFTP Base Directory If you don't have a running DHCP Server you can use the buildin DHCP Server from TFTPD Prepare the Base Directory for TFTP Server: Create a Base directory called Boot or something wherever you want. (C:\Boot) Create a subdirectory called images (C:\Boot\images) Create a subdirectory called pxelinux.cfg (C:\Boot\pxelinux.cfg <-- is a directory!) Create a file without extension called default in the pxelinux.cfg folder (C:\Boot\pxelinux.cfg\default <-- is a filename) Extract the syslinux archive, find and copy the following files to your base directory: chain.c32ldlinux.c32libcom32.c32libutil.c32linux.c32memdiskmenu.c32pxelinux.0reboot.c32vesamenu.c32 Open the default file and paste: Attention, this is a fully paste from my default file, for a start you can delete the most to learn how it works.
