Step 1 – Software Needed

• Get a Windows 7 SP1 installation media. For this article I’ll be using a Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise 32 bit version of Windows.
• The Windows® Automated Installation Kit (AIK) for Windows® 7 http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/confirmation.aspx?id=5753 This file downloads as: KB3AIK_EN.iso
• The Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) Supplement for Windows 7 SP1 is an optional update to AIK for Windows 7 that helps you to install, customize, and deploy the Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 family of operating systems. http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5188 The release I’ve downloaded was released on 2/21/2011 and downloads as waik_supplement_en-us.iso
• 7zip – used to extract files from the iso images.

Step 2

Install Windows 7 using default settings. We will customize this install. I’m using a virtual machine running in VMware Fusion so I can snapshot the progress.

• User: default
• Machine Name: BaseImage
• No Updates
• No password
• Enable Administrator Account
• Work Network
• Copy All 3 isos to the desktop
• Install 7zip
• Install VMware Tools
• Reboot
• Login with your newly created account (not Builtin Administrator)

Step 3 – Installing the wAIK

Extract the contents of the isos to the desktop using: Right click -> 7zip –> Extract to “foldername”. You should now have three folders on your desktop with the contents of the three isos.

From the KB3AIK_EN folder run the wAIKX86.msi (wAIKAMD64.msi if you’re installing a 64bit windows)

• Accept the License Agreement [next]
• Accept Default folder of C:Program FilesWindows AIK
• Install for Everyone [next]
• Click Next to start installation [next]
• Finish install [Close]

Step 4 – Load image into System Image Manager

This will walk through loading a windows image (in this case the image is the install DVD) into the System Image Manager.

• Launch the windows system image manager

 

• The program will launch and show you a screen with a bunch of blank panes.

In the bottom left pane titled Windows Image, right click and select “New Image”.

Brows to the location where you extracted windows 7 iso (Desktop), and brows to the sources folder and choose the cataloge file (.clg extension) “install_Windows 7 Enterprise.clg”.

Now we have the Windows image Loaded into the image manager. The next step will walk through creating an answer file.

Step 5 – Creating the answer file

— TODO — Create the File

Step 6 – Running Sysprep

In another VM instance start a vanilla 7 installation. When you arrive at the welcome screen where it asks you to create a username, hit CTRL+SHIFT+F3, this will reboot your machine and put you in “audit” mode.

• Boot from Windows 7 Disk
• Partition the Drive how you want it
• Install VMware tools
• reboot
• Copy you unattend.xml to c:Windowssystem32sysprep

 

To extract or “unbuild” and RPM so you can see its files you have to use two programs.  The first is rpm2cpio, the second is cpio.

rpm2cpio: Extract cpio archive from RPM Package Manager (RPM) package.

cpio – allows a user to copy file to and from an archive.

[code lang=”bash” title=”Do this as root”]linux:/tmp/rpmsource# rpm2cpio <>.src.rpm | cpio -idmv [/code]

Explanation: rpm2cpio takes the rpm and runs the extraction that is then piped through cpio to extract the files to a local directory.   FLAGS: -i extract, -d make directories where needed, -m preserve modification time, -v verbose mode will list the names of the files as they are extracted.

I’m not sure if this will work for non-src rpms.
