So, When I explore my DVD (ISO) file this is what I see. Have I got the $OEM$ folder in the right place? The updates are inside an $$ folder that's inside the $OEM$ folder. Have I done that right? TBH I've never played with the $OEM$ folder before, ever, so I'm a tad lost!!

Err, Dareck, where do I find/place this $OEM$ folder??

Thanks for that dareck. Just in time as well! About to have another play with WTK and will add that and the other "problem" updates to see what happens. Here's hoping!

This (KB2533552) and 3 other updates, whose names escape me are ones that when I log in are still for being installed by WU. Doesn't matter where or how I put them. I've long since given up and remain smug that all other updates are pre-installed so 4 is nothing to worry about. I will say that the ones that still need to install, if I go to M$ for the off-line installer, I have to verify that I'm running Genuine Windows. That may have something to do with it.

I run a batch file separately to the WinToolkit for dropping folders into the "system" so that are in there when I first boot. I use these for customised icon files (,dll), personal files etc. I make a "path" of folders to drop in, e.g. Users Folder > Elmer B. Fuddled Folder > Elmers Docs folder. or Windows Folder > System32 Folder > AALMER. When I drop these in the extracted image folder I get asked "This folder already exists..." etc. and I just answer "Yes to All". The final or base folder and its contents are then in the right place for when I first log in. The batch file runs a clean up (just in case!) then opens each image one at a time and pauses for you to drop your files and folders in. At the end it will run the clean up again. The clean up consists of discarding anything, which shouldn't happen unless you close the command window in error (been there, done that!) and also runs a reg file to remove the registry entry. Obviously if you've not cocked up at all you won't even know the clean up attempt has taken place. Also, until you cock up the WIM_Deafault key isn't there (it may be while the bat file is running, never checked it out!!). You'll need to change the file paths in the bat file, these are my paths!!

I'll give that a try Chief! As it is at the moment I've slipped all post SP1 updates into Office but Visio is then asking for (most of) the same updates. So, I'll try that over the next few days and report back. Many Thanks to you both.

That looks like it was the last entry you clicked on and it has been highlighted with blue. But, what does pink mean?? Integration Failed?

This has probably been asked loads of times but I'm struggling to do searches at the moment (google is only feeding me crap links!). I've inherited Office 10 standard and Visio 10. Is it possible to merge these two discs into one and only run off the one installer?

It appears to be a common issue. Until Lego finishes his exams in the Real World, it seems that Win Toolkit has hit the back boiler for a while. A little patience may be required. In the meantime a few of us have reverted back to v1.14.10 which seems to have none of these problems. Follow link to HERE.

I've still got 1.4.0.8 if that's any good to you!!

I've been loading a couple of "silents" for a while now. I've been experimenting with making my own silent installs (msi), which when clicked, do install, but still need some tweaks. I added them into my latest testing iso and none of them installed. On looking under the WIM_Software key, I see a WinKit key (which installs) and a WinToolkit key which doesn't install. Wintoolkit was downloaded the 18th (v1.4.0.16) and the iso was started from scratch on the 19th. Just wondering which Win key to put all the silent installs under. UPDATE!! Just tried a test with all Apps in WinToolkit reg key. None installed. Will have to wait until tomorrow to try them all under a WinKit reg key. UPDATE 2!! Well they all nearly install when added under the WIM_Software/WinKit key. I say nearly because they fall over each other trying to all install at once. Is their a switch I need to add somewhere??

This has worked for me. Have to enter which falvour of Win7 you want, where to put it, the User and pc name.

Would it be possible to get this tool to generate a list of removed components? A.K.A Like the AIO Integrator generates a last session report.

OK, solved it. I needed to disable (<!-- -->) or delete the whole entry, not just the names.

I didn't realise she'd passed on. That makes me feel sad

I've started converting all my updates, as they arrive from SoLoR into .cab files. This makes a small difference to my install media, and my hard drive. I save these to a single .cab folder for updating images, which I always load largest to smallest. Fools me into thinking WTK is getting faster . Trouble is SoLoR doesn't recognise the majority of .cab files when checking through for updating old updates. So I now use a cunning ruse. In my SoLoR folder is a load of "blank" .msu files it does recognise. Using Karens Directory Printer, I get a list of the files contained in the SoloR folder and sub-folders. For example: Windows6.1-KB2023591-x64.cab Windows6.1-KB2205122-v2-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2276594-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2394535-v2-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2401553-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2411938-v2-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2417168-v2-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2427341-v3-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2427997-v2-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2431799-v2-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2443643-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2444677-v2-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2446607-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2456741-v2-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2457458-x64.msu I then replace (using Wordpad) Windows with type NUL > Windows to give me: type NUL > Windows6.1-KB2023591-x64.cab type NUL > Windows6.1-KB2205122-v2-x64.msu type NUL > Windows6.1-KB2276594-x64.msu type NUL > Windows6.1-KB2394535-v2-x64.msu type NUL > Windows6.1-KB2401553-x64.msu type NUL > Windows6.1-KB2411938-v2-x64.msu type NUL > Windows6.1-KB2417168-v2-x64.msu type NUL > Windows6.1-KB2427341-v3-x64.msu type NUL > Windows6.1-KB2427997-v2-x64.msu type NUL > Windows6.1-KB2431799-v2-x64.msu type NUL > Windows6.1-KB2443643-x64.msu type NUL > Windows6.1-KB2444677-v2-x64.msu type NUL > Windows6.1-KB2446607-x64.msu type NUL > Windows6.1-KB2456741-v2-x64.msu type NUL > Windows6.1-KB2457458-x64.msu I save that as a .bat file, double click it and end up with a folder full of zero byte "misnamed" txt files. Swap them into SoLoR's folder, which they auto replace, and save myself some space. Also makes the new downloads easy to spot as they're the only ones with something in them. SoLoR's updates recognises and moves/replaces them every time. This is probably me being anally retentive with regards to space. I suppose I can't shake off the Windows XP 256mb ram and 20gb HDD days mentality. Now, if I could only find out how to turn my bank balance into a permanent positive, life would be Hunky Dory!!

Just thought this may be of interest to folks going for a lighter install. I've not yet tried it with W7T/WTK but it does work a treat under normal install circumstances. Too many non-Latin Fonts & Languages in your Win7 system ? I personally use the "all.bat c" command, does a nice job.

If I'm using the same .Net framework as you, it asks me do I want to install the developer as well as client? TBH it was taking that long in VB to install I now just leave the file in the Apps folder, that way I can install when I need to. Not everybody needs .Net 4.

Right, I've changed my shortcuts (again) in anticipation. You change the name again and I'll walk down the road, break your pencils and then staple your eyelids to your scrotum!!

Got fed up with .WA files being a blank white icon. Means you have to read. A proven fact is that you use visual identity first to attract your eye then read after. To this end, my attempt at making an icon for .WA files. Drop it where you will, Change the path to your icon location in the reg file (as below), merge to registry. Voila! Instant spotabilty of your .WA files! Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.wa\DefaultIcon] @="C:\\Path to\\your icon\\location\\WA.ico,0" The reg file in the zip points to your C:\Windows folder. Edit as you will.

The option to show the menu bar in IE9 doesn't seem to work for me. Even though added into my Autounattend file, still no show. By adding the following to a RunOnce .reg file it works every time. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MINIE] "AlwaysShowMenus"=dword:00000001 Is that because it falls under HKCU?

My bloody shortcuts again!! Doh!! (I suppose WTK sounds better as an abbreviation though than WK, but better as one word, WinToolKit.)

I'd appreciate a Locate32 Addon to be made. Personally the 64bit version! Locate32 Downloads Forgot to say Please!! :shy:
