I guess the only way to find out would be to install an untouched edition of windows 7...And regarding the missing internet explorer icon..Well i am not sure whats causing this..May be nononsence or some other expert out here could explain..
I never had this happen, I would make the DVD again, maybe its a file copy issue durring image capture. if you link me to the iso you are using I can try to figure it out. I only tested the script on the official untouched en-us Ultimate iso and this is the reason I put the sha1 check in place.
I don't see why not, driver integration works for PE, boot.wim is just customized PE. Probably wouldn't hurt to push 1920x1200 via Autounattend.xml too.
I increased the time to 45 sec and now the ie link is on the taskbar, and start menu. ideally you should see the desktop before the reboot, adjust your scripts to a to a safer value. Ill post an update in a little bit
Updated Version... A new updated version with new zsmin loader 0.95 and changes in the script that solves the missing IE icon in the start menu...
Here is an auto script to download windows updates. Just need run batch file and it will grab the MSU's directly from Microsoft. After you have run the batch file. Just need to run these DISM command to update your WIM. DISM.exe /image:$MNT /Add-Package /PackagePath:%~dp0\Updates\x86 DISM.exe /image:$MNT /Add-Package /PackagePath:%~dp0\Updates\x64 Edit the above commands with the proper WIM location.
Yes...you can do it...just change the iso name and its sha1 values in the script to that of yours and you can use this script to make a pre-activated dvd..
