Description of the problem:
When I try to create an image with Vista SP2 for deployment from a Vista SP1 installation media I'm encountering some installation errors which I can't solve after a lot of research. When I asked for support on the MDT blog I got recommended to use the Vista SP2 media but that media seems to not exist at the moment...
As far as I know there are no proper ways to slipstream it into the installation media as there will be a version mismatch resulting in installation errors. Besides that I'm not going to download anything integrated as that is just a risk as I need to deploy towards customers.
Above problem is holding me back in deploying, as not being able to have SP2 done during installation causes me to have to do the whole updating process with interaction after the automated LTI.
My questions:
Does anyone have a suggestion on how I could deploy Vista SP2 when I currently have the Vista SP1 media? Does someone know when the Vista SP2 installation media becomes available?
I'm using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2010, I have tried capturing a SP2 installation without succes...
Vista SP2 media is available... on MSDN, at least.
Anyway, have you tried installing SP2 on a vista SP1 computer and capturing an image of it using the "Sysprep and capture" MDT task sequence?
Use WAIK to integrate your language pack into Vista SP2 English media and set it as default language. You can easily find language packs around or download them from VL, MSDN etc. I'm pretty sure you can find them from Microsoft Update catalog, but i didn't bother to check myself. I have repeadedly used this method to create custom images (3 languages etc).
It should be easy after that.
