Warning!
--------
Compare checksums of the iso file! If they aren't like ones I posted below someone modified the image!
CRC32:cd882c6d MD5:f7414ab02009b6f8acfd954232c82f1f SHA1:8ac26dbad7e22d22487a1d2a74d8432ea493c2ef.
I guarantee that my image is absolutely clean. If checksums don't match the image can contain viruses!
Easiest way to infect a computer is on fresh install while Anti-virus software is still not installed.
Have your drivers ready before setup! Drivers left are base system, sound and network adapter drivers.
More Info:
----------
If you are regular user you will not notice any difference between my lite and full-featured Windows7.
This OS is intended to be used as an every-day OS. That's why I've cut as little as possible features.
An autoattended.xml file is inserted into the image to automate the process of Windows 7 installation:
Language: EN, name: Administrator, PC name: IK-PC, time: UTC+2h. All of these can be changed later on.
You need only to point to an empty partition or format one & in 10-15 min Windows should be installed.
PS:
---
You can use Windows Mail with this Windows unlike untouched Window 7 because of Vista's msoe.dll file.
I've tested my Windows 7 lite in VirtualBox and it seems to work without an issue. I've installed some
soft like MS-Office 2010, WinRAR, etc. and all available updates via Windows update. Everything works.
If you find any issue or software incompatibility please leave a comment & PM to try to find solution!
Please don't PM me to ask how to install it or to make another versions with some programs integrated,
removed, added, etc. I will release another versions only to correct incompatibility or updateability.
FEEL FREE TO USE AND ENJOY MY WINDOWS 7 x64 LITE WITH SP1 AND IE9!
write the ISO to a DVD at minimum speed & then use it as a boot dish.
