Hey guys,I have a question,I was thinking on prepping a Windows 7 ISO and i have slow internet which anyway is ending in 3 day,changing the internet service for a faster one,i dont want to download all the files and have the download fail 4/5 times,(i had that happen when i was downloading the windows vista files to create a iSO,i used X13-49120 and bootwim,and the part that was most annyoing,the install.wim)and magically,I had a Windows 7 x64 English Repair disc,and tinkering with it,i found all the sources,the boot files,already in the right location,and i was able to get all files for the sources folder,from the WinPE Boot.wim in the disc,inside the soruces folder,everything was there for a install disc except boot.wim itself (which is in the root of the sources folder of the disc files itself,so not problem there,though it doesnt have a install.wim.(ofcourse becuase the dvd was 200 MB in size,WinPe from those disc files boots up (i modified the winpeshl.ini file so setup automatically starts) I dont have the install.wim and does windows update provide it,since windows 7 doesnt have any newer builds that Build 7601,and this already has SP1 on it.So is there any way i can get install.wim using Windows Update in the $WINDOWS.~BT Folder so i can install windows 7 in VM's and other systems without having to download the ISO once. Thanks
