    And keep in mind, that the OEM key from the sticker may be a "one-time only" key - as in using it, the activation will be bound to the hardware it is used on (I am mostly using SystemBuilder Variants(*1) for my system (as I build 'em myself or buy 'em without OS) and there thats not a problem (in short: I simply lack the Win7 OEM experience)), but as far as my knowledge has grown on the subject a vital change in hardware may or may not be activatable via phone or strictly license termin speaking may simply be rejected - so I see a reason to the "why someone will stick to autoactivation as long as possible", because then the OEM key could def. be used on changed hardware (if it is the first time this key is used - so why waste it on the OEM Hardware where its not needed) with just using the online activation. I am really not sure on this one, the MS specific sides (technet, etc.) are AFAIK strict on this one-time bound between key and hardware, other sides claim that an activation via phone is still possible.
     
    P.S.: with Win8 this whole OEM/Preactivation Discussion is Void - the new scheme where the "to be activated" key for OEM Systems is kept in the BIOS is a total different matter
     
    *1: Ok, from a German Point of view and an old Sentence about the resale of OEM licenses, MS SB variants where (AFAIK) the result of that verdict (as a different model to pure OEM license (like from Dell or such);  SB (OEM) license is nowadays what is nearly 100% of the time sold to the customer here in germany (and I know only a few (real minority) shops who are actually offering the real retail)... And I am not sure what that means for reactivation on different hardware or such, but according to magazines like the C't (not talking Win8+ here) SB licenses under our law should be reactivatable under new hardware (but that may well be just an urban legend).

    In addition, and as a final remark on my behalf (it is time to get back to my real studies, though it was fun and reminded me to the time of 2005 where I was one of the minorities who bought xp x64 and where often forced to get used to modify .msi's with Orca) - I tried it again with the (official technet) sysprep way... the reason why WinToolkit recognized my first preped image as being corrupt was that I have chosen a custom name for the image.... still now, and after I've named it right, and though simply building a .iso via WT from the syspreped .wim worked like a charm (the get-package information afterwards was the same as for a real sp1 install-media), it failed when I tried to integrate IE11 and its prerequisites. That doesn't worked out well - WT integrated fine, the install resulted in failures which may well be searched in this forum for the early times of IE11 and its integration. So i am not sure if I missed some KB or if it ain't be possible to use WT on a syspreped .wim (which makes no sense IMHO, so my guess would still be a fault in my procedures - and that one may include that I where using a WinPE.iso handed over to the VM that where build with the current ADK release for Win8+; I used that because it is much easier to apply the dism commands (/capture-image) to build the .wim then using the old variant with imageX). 
     
    As said, I still think that it is possible (else all technet sysprep how to build an oem/multilingual media, how to deploy sp1, etc. descriptions wouldn't make sense; At least for the sysprep way).  In the meantime where the vm(s) where occupied with their install I checked the MD5 sums of the KB976902 files with their corresponding parts of KB976932 (SP1) and there where no differences to be found (haven't checked all of the files), so it should - in theory be possible - to get along that way to a working (and future proof) image... But as the OPs question (OEM based Win 7) and my curiosity about Dreamsparks PreSP1 Server 2008 R2 .img are just a minority in cases that may be neglected in the development of WT (or the Foolproof assignments/modules therein (which in my experiences make up 3/4 the time in the development of a GUI based project)) I just give up with trying any further (and will continue with my real work/study again    ).

    Most of the hotfixes are downloaded in sfx zip files and then extracted (this include 5 of the general updates)
     
    maybe this is the cause of the inconsistent dating pattern, the timestamp is set for the zip file not the extracted msu file?

    abbodi1406 got a reaction from alfreire in Which Updates?   
    General and Security Updates are either GDR only or GDR+LDR
    you can easily install those normally (without LDR mode) to get GDR branch
    and you may include/count Platform & Platform Updates & IE11/10 into this
     
    Hotfixes however, some are LDR only, and the rest are GDR+LDR
    managing those will be tricky for you
     
    anyway, if you want to only have GDR updates, it's better you stick to what Windows Update offers 
    or you may install "General, Security, Platform, Platform Updates, IE11 Cabs, IE11 Updates, WUClient" in normal mode, then go to Windows Update and see what else it offers and download them

    The .NET Framework is a popular development platform for building apps for Windows, Windows Store, Windows Phone, Windows Server, and Windows Azure. The .NET Framework platform includes the C# and Visual Basic programming languages, the common language runtime, and an extensive class library. read more.
     
    Info: The .NET package will be slipstreamed as pre-installed
    OS: Windows 7 SP1
    Notes:
    - The addon will conflict with some Windows Updates (.NET 3.5 Family), so leave the addon's integration to the last.
    - Add main addon first before LangPack addon, to get ASP.NET service localization properly.
    - To function properly, .NET 4.7.x require D3DCompiler_47.dll component, which is found in either the current "Monthly Quality Rollup" or "update KB4019990". It is recommended to integrate it first, or you can install it later.

    Hi Lego,
     
    I just tested the installer (VM):
    it's OK, but people should know, they should install it in user-modus (NOT express) and de-select the installation of the awesome-bar and search-engine,
    otherwise they get some not wanted-software.
     
    Silent-Switches are: /S /NCRC.
    With this switches no other software has been installed.
     
    And a small bug have I already found:
    uninstalling the program the folder WinToolkit on C: and WinToolkit-RunOnce (.log, .exe, .cfg) have not been deleted.

    abbodi1406 got a reaction from alfreire in Which Updates should (or not) I use for a clean Win7 sp1?   
    General - Security - Hotfix.. are the main updates that are safe to use for all systems

    regarding the difference between Additional & Extra Categories, the reason for having those two categories is for better organizing and to ease the download process for the average user

    Additional Updates Category aims to include the "Special" updates that are common or most useful
    this includes:

    Updates for Specific Features that does not exists in All Windows Editions:
     




    Updates or Packages that adds more features or have special functionality:





    Extra Updates Category will contain the rest of additional updates
    this includes:

    Packages that adds more features or have special functionality but not needed for most users:





    Updates or Packages that has newer releases:

    1) deintergrate is not possible because the addon set and modifies registry settings in the image
    but you could try to integrate newer version in image contains older addon version, let me know if it's working 
     
    2) as bphlpt explained, .NET 3.5 Family is a completely separate package software than .NET 4.x Family

    (2) Unlike in XP, earlier ".NET's" are now part of the OS, and are not designed to be removed, though I think they can be.  And like XP, while .NET 4.5.1 completely replaces 4.5 and 4.0, it does not totally replace 3.5.1 and earlier in the sense that if you did remove 3.5.1 and earlier from your Win7 install, and a poorly written app looked specifically to see if 2.0 or 3.0 or 3.5 was installed, that app would fail even if you had 4.5.1 installed.  At least that's the way I understand how things work.
     
    For (1), I'll let abodi1406 or someone else that knows more than I do about this particular addon answer that definitively, but my opinion is that when you do a new build each month or whatever, and you have new hotfixes, addons, tweaks, etc., you are better off starting from scratch, rather than trying to remove the outdated ones and add the new ones in their place.

    @Lego: If you move IE and all the related updates/addons to the end of the integration process, you should not worry about prerequisites.
    That's the smartest and simplest way , because months after months, more and more updates will be superseded and because of this the list of prerequisites will be constantly changing.
     
    Win Toolkit 1.4.1.27 does not recognize IE11 cabs and let me integrate them at the end: that works beautifully !

    @crashfly, I think you might be a little confused. abbodi1406 DID create his own thread, this one, about his own 'self created "add-on"', which he made with help and advice from Ricktendo, and abbodi1406 is not the one having problems with it, mattew is. Did you think that this was one of Ricks's threads, either this one or this one? They are all named very similarly so it would be an easy mistake to make. I have almost made the same mistake myself. You are correct that Rick makes silent installers, which I personally prefer, but, though I haven't used this one myself, I believe that abbodi1406's entry is an addon, at least it is named as one and Rick did not dispute that designation. And in this three page thread no one else has disputed it either.
