man, that latest vers. RT7lite really worked great
good job guys
the build that many including wzor are saying is RTM was finished in November according to build string. wzor leaked those few weeks back. looks like today is when the technet members and MSDN members get their integrated images and the public can get the update itself off windows update on the 22nd. i checked technet this morning, it is still not there yetWhat's with the OP saying that it went RTM in Jan, news sites saying that it went RTM in Feb, and the build date implying that it was finalized in Nov?
there is new version of RT7LITE coming that fixes that issue, also look here http://www.msfn.org/board/forum/167-unattended-windows-7server-2008r2/Can anyone tell me why the cleanup process listed here for removing SP uninstallation files and Add/Remove Programs entries is not working? I ran the Disk Cleanup Wizard first, which deleted the files, but the command acts like it's not recognized when I try it instead of just saying that the files aren't there. Furthermore, I can't run the command to remove the entry from the Update History in Add/Remove Programs.
I waited hours upon hours cursing RT7lite and your post while waiting for it to finish before I finally realized that it was a rogue wmpnetwk service that was slowing everything down to a crawl (using up almost all system memory and CPU resources). The desktop system I intended to install it on was down due to a bad image restoration (WHY OH WHY doesn't Windows verify the image first?!), so I had to use my much slower Alienware M11x R1 and thought it was just being pokey. If you didn't need an x64 system to run the SP1 slipstreaming process I would have had many more options and would not have wasted 5 hours. Any idea why it has to be a 64bit system to integrate some files offline?
that is interesting technet forums are saying today at 10am PST
A 1.9GB ISO with the updates for x86, x64 and ia64. Three EXEs, one for each architecture.
just logged in to technet and saw this
Windows 7 and Window Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (x86 and x64) - 1,953 (MB)
SP1 is 2GB? I see a post above stating it's closer to 500MB, so perhaps this is just because it includes files for every edition (and version).
Edit: OK, just saw this on another site:
On top of that, I have a windows6.1-KB976932-X64-INTL.exe and a windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe both with the same build numbers but the INTL version is significantly smaller (638MB instead of 903MB). Isn't an "International" version of your typical installer usually LARGER due to having more languages and support for more fonts? I don't get it.
Hard to say as the only INTL version appears to be a leaked version on file sharing sites at this point.
Could just be that the new NSA back door is ~270MB. :hmm:
Maybe the INTL version is a mislabeled x86 which would make sense. The US x86 is 550MB.
