In past I've read somewhere that .net 4.7.x integration in win 7, converted to .esd may cause hanging in installation. Anyone have any experience with it.
What would the use of install.esd have to do with a pre-integrated (not by setupcomplete.cmd) windows feature?
That's what I think too but the person who wrote it was a experienced windows iso uploader, will try to contact him for more info.
Normally, decompression comes first. Then, waaaaay after that come all the integrated features installations. So the way I see it, install file compression shouldn't be an issue in this regard.
The install.esd is applied (extracted to hdd) during the first stages of install, same as with an install.wim or install.swm. install.esd is install.wim but on a higer compression level (dism compression:recovery) You probably mean @murphy78? I remember him having some issues with install.swm format in general in the past, which i never saw occurring.

Is there a tutorial for how to use Simplix to integrate DirectX & USB3 drivers? I've read a few pages and don't see anything. Thanks
It integrates the USB3.x Driver Installer tool by default, for Dx9c just put the .WA file next to the UpdatePack file and it will be integrated.
It doesn't work for me (dragging DirectX_June2010_x86.WA into the exe folder along with UpdatePack7R2-19.1.12.exe while copying install.wim to "wim" folder, then running integrie.bat as Admin).
Make sure you have the correct architecture of the pack, x64 for when you are running simplix on a x64 install.wim and x86 for x86 wim. And check that you don't have a shortcut instead of the full packs. Best to put both WA packs next to the updatepack, then it can't go wrong.
thank you all for the good amount of information in here but what is the use of USB3.x drivers with simplix ?? i can install them like any other drivers after installing the OS (bluetooth, printers, wireless ...etc)
That's not 100% true. People don't just integrate USB3/SATA/NVMe drivers for fun, you know. It's to ensure basic I/O functionality out of the box. Unless you're planning on adding additional physical ports that don't require storage drivers, which is an unnecessary hassle when driver support is available and just one integration away.
Enthousiast - so I made a brain fart and didn't think my install was x64 based and now those 2 add-on's integrated properly now that I used the correct architecture. Thanks for your guidance. Now the million $ question. I've copied the Win7 ISO to a USB (RUFUS) and booted it like normal. Unfortunately, neither my KB/mouse were functional. I'm guessing I need USB drivers integrated but don't know how or where to get it. Are you able to provide any assistance?
