welcome back to the adventure today we are creating a custom windows vista
installation disk with every possible update included
to get started we need to source an installation disk image for vista
this one from the internet archive looks like a good place to start
the download will take several minutes to complete
when it does we can head over to online md5 and find out what the md5 hash is for this disk image
once we have the hash we can google it and come up with absolutely nothing which
does mean something it means that we won't be using this disk image
let's try this in reverse previously we found a list of known legitimate sha-1 hashes for windows
installation disks we can reference that list and find the hash for windows vista ultimate x64
then we can google that hash and we will come up with another disk image from the internet archive
from here we need to download the disk image
once that finishes downloading we can open it in power iso
and extract the contents to a new folder on the desktop
next we can scan it for viruses first with malwarebytes then with windows defender
both scans come up clean so we may proceed to the next step
in a previous video we created a disk image that contains the necessary patches for repairing
automatic updates in windows vista we can download that disk image and open it in power iso
extract its contents to a new folder on the desktop
now we can open v-light and mount the image we want to stream the updates into
v-light detects windows vista with service pack 2 which is what we want
we can proceed to slipstream the patches
the previous video goes into more detail about what these patches are
once the process finishes open power iso
then copy the contents of the folder back into the disk image and save it
one time jump later and we're at the desktop of a virtual machine
running windows vista installed with the modified installation disk
here we are using the windows update mini tool to search for updates even with the speed up
patches slip streamed it can take several minutes for the check for updates to finish
so it turns out that the previous method for fixing automatic updates
no longer works we are able to communicate with the update servers
it just doesn't return any of the available security updates that we need
i'm sure there's a new method available for fixing this problem
however there's another route we can take
here we have the windows patch loader this tool is able to pull a list of
updates from the microsoft catalog and download them
i'm going to deselect all the updates previous to service pack 2 and download the rest
this process can take several minutes to complete
each update is downloaded individually and stored in whatever folder the windows patch loader is in
so it's advisable to have the windows patch loader in its own folder
with all the patches downloaded we can head into vlight and start slip streaming
what i did here with slipstreaming all the patches at once
did not work i ended up having to slip stream just five updates at a time as you may imagine
it took an extremely long time to get through the hundreds of patches here
once all of the patches have been successfully integrated we can open
power iso and copy the contents of our project folder back into the disk image then save it
now we have a windows vista installation disk with all the updates on it
thanks for stopping by see you next video
