Just download clean windows 7 sp1 x64 image, simplix it and install it. On Dell's website there aren't all that many drivers for windows 7: https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/servicetag/0-NzVmWG5PRnRDT01aQzFJSVNxUHJUZz090/drivers The diagnostics and firmware/bios stuff you don't really need.

"Access denied" makes me think "permissions", but even after I take full ownership of C:\ and subfolders, the problem persists. I've tried setting Mount and Temp folders on drive D:\ (yes, drive, not just partition, it's a separate drive), still same problem. I've never experienced this before. All I've done is perform a clean install of Windows 10 on my SSD(I had to).

Can you share your service tag?

Works great even with Simplix UpdatePack 19.12.19(old one at this point).

The recent iso's are badly updated: - more than one CU integrated for w/e reason - all the telemetry is most probably in there - the size of a single index iso is 5GB+, which is roughly the same as a 64-bit AIO with integrated updates, .net 4.8, visual c++ runtimes and directx The common joke is those iso's were made by newbie interns and are really highly NOT recommended. Just download a clean media refresh iso, use simplix updatepack on it(download abbodi's addons and put them next to the updatepack if you want). You'll achieve a much better result.

I don't think so. There's no package out there that can be conveniently integrated into windows 7 via dism(similar to windows 10/8). To my knowledge, netfx 4.8 for windows 7 exists only as an .exe package which is to only be used on live systems.

@Ricardo Silva If you want an up-to-date 19h2 iso, you shouldn't use a 19h2 iso as base to integrate update/lps. All 19h2 isos are 19h1 base with KB4517245 integrated after the ssu/cu. What you should do: 1. Get a 18362.1 iso for base. 2. Get the LPs for 18362.1 (1903). 3. Get Servicing Stack Update, Cumulative Update, .NET Cumulative Update and KB4517245(use WHDownloader for this one). 4. Integrate LANGUAGE PACKS into boot.wim index 2 and install.wim index *insert your desired index here*. 5. Integrate SSU/CU/.NET CU updates. 6. Integrate KB4517245 !!! AFTER ALL THE OTHER UPDATES !!! (it's a .cab file so don't put it into the same folder as the others, use a separate dism /add-package for it). 7. You have a proper multilingual 19h2 iso. The problem likely comes from you integrating LPs into an iso which has integrated updates(which all 19h2 isos are) and that's known to be a problematic practice.

The content is the same. The two are meant for different usage scenarios, though.

After spending some time making two images(with and without integrated LXP), I didn't experience the search bug you mentioned(no, I did not forget to integrate the 1909 enablement package).

@Alex Blade After reading the instructions: Executed dotNetFx.cmd: Executed 7zSFX.cmd: There's your precious slim installer.

You grab a clean install.wim and modify that.

It's kind of a bad idea to use these iso's. Badly made. Better make your own with simplix updatepack and addons from aboddi.
