studioCJF Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) In an effort to make a fairly simple updated install disk my plan is to Integrate Updates, ThemePacks, a few basic Tweaks, remove Language components, and if I get ambitious I may include MS Office 2010 with Updates. but now i am working on the Updates portion and have several questions about integrating SoLoR's updates using the AIO Tool1. Downloading SoLoR's updates using W7T > Popular > SoLoR's sp1 Updates is pretty staight forward but is there any particular order that the MSU files need to be in after download? I assume "maybe" given the tool has up/down arrows?2. If assumption in question #1 is correct then what is the prefered order? I'm hoping my assumption is "wrong" because I would not want to have to go through +/- 280 updates and make sure they are in the proper order3. Regarding "Additions" downloads from hotfix.chris123nt.com such as "IE9"... I assume I would download each of them individually and then add them using W7T > Popular > AIO Tool even if some are not *.msu files4. If assumption in question #3 is not correct how do I integrate non *.msu files? I noticed the Tool does allow the selection of *.cab and *.exe filesHere is the process I have been using. Although I have yet to run the actual integration... i am populating each of the AIO Tool Tabs and saving the Preset.ini. After I'm done with that I intend on Running each tool on the Win 7 Pro-64bit-SP1 image I downloaded from the Digital River linksThanks for any/all advice Edited December 17, 2011 by studioCJF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legolash2o Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 1. I never install in an order, by default they get added in alphabetical order.2. I always makes sure IE9 is first though if i integrate it.3. Yeah i think, i don't really use the additions3. If they are cab files then add them in the same as MSU files, if they are .exe then try and open them with 7zip and extract any cab files within them. Again, i don't really use the additions that often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studioCJF Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 Legolash2oThanks for the reply... I'm glad to here that the update don't need a particular order and extracting the .exe's for some of the "Additions" is easy enoughOne thing I noticed regarding component removal is that if I use the stand alone Component Removal Tool the option to remove Language Pack is available but if i use the Component Removal Tab within the AIO Tool these options are not present. Is this by design or should I just run the Component Removal Tool separately ouside of the AIO Tool? Also is there any downside to removing Language Packs and Localization Pack?Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legolash2o Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 It's not by design, i have not got round to doing it yet, i use use AIO and the use Component Removal tool after as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
