Is it possible to slipstream SP-1 into my DELL OEM Visa 64-Bit DVD?
I know it is possible to slipstream the hotfixes/updates
 
Re: Slipstreaming Vista SP-1

No, it's not possible. Vista uses an imaging scheme instead
of all the installation files as XP did. You will need a
new DVD with SP1 incorporated in the image if you want one
that way.

Re: Slipstreaming Vista SP-1

I assume that you have looked at vLite (from the folks who do nLite).
Apparently it is possible.

However,

If I correctly remember an answer from MS in an SP1 beta ng a couple of
months ago, the answer would be no. MS promises that capability for the
next service pack. I think the problem mentioned was that the servicing
stack needs to be updated to a new version, which is something SP1 itself
does. That is all I can remember from those threads.

Re: Slipstreaming Vista SP-1

Even vLite states you cannot 'slipstream' the Service Pack:

Service Pack compatibility (updated)
2008.01.30 by nuhi
It came to my attention that some of you expected to install
Service Pack on the lite Vista, without some components.
Unfortunatelly that is not possible, nor it was ever
expected to be because Service Pack is meant to update the
whole installation, if it detects that something is missing
it aborts.

So the only way to use vLite on SP1 is to use it on the
preintegrated version, meaning you can configure the Vista
DVD or ISO which already has SP1 in it. Until Microsoft
releases one you can try making your own by following this
guide. But be careful, it's not official nor easy method so
it is recommended only for the experienced users.

Hotfixes will work fine even if all is removed, and the best
thing is Windows Update will not list the hotfixes for the
removed components. So please don't spread the false rumors,
vLite is not aggressive as one might think before using it,
not to mention that it was tested for 14 months before these
recent publicity outbreaks.
