Interesting I download them from the VLSC and ripping the ei.cfg did not work. Hmm I think I will have to get the technet ones and compare.
Win 7 SP1 gets dated?

I already said that because I tried the same thing. Your best of just getting the MSDN version over at MDLF and ripping the ei.cfg out of it.

Apologies I did notice you also had the issue, what is MDLF? I only have VLSC and MAPS access, I guess I will be getting it off the net.

Check my signature. I tried to rip out the ei.cfg from the VLK edition. Seems as though something else is stopping it been converted to all versions.

I see that it a Torrent in your signature for 21.5GB. Anyway of downloading, without having to download it all.

when you click on the torrent you deselected the bits you dont want, should be around 3gb

Use uTorrent, untick all except the version you want just as _Jimlad_ said.

How did you tae the ei.cfg file out? I did it the manually way using ultra ISO, remove ei.cfg, delete, save as, burn to iso, check, installed.

It's a MSDN build. Exactly like OEM/Retail disks except it's released to MSDN/Technet first for testing applications! It's the ultimate version build but ripping the ei.cfg turns it to all versions.

The WIM file for VL is significantly different to the Retail and OEM versions. No way it'll turn into another version, even after hacking the ei.cfg and writing it back to the image.

Yep, it never worked anyway. Waste of bandwidth.

It might be worthwhile for people to do a sfc /scannow in an elevated command prompt after the SP1 install, I had a few files that hadn't updated properly for some reason. Could just be my system though.

Very strange, possibly in use or something like that or file replace permissions. I just did a fresh OS 7 SP1 install to get around that problem.

The only file I personally noticed was one of the usb drivers in system32 was showing as unsigned in Autoruns and when I checked the file it was the pre SP1 version, after doing a sfc /scannow and rebooting the file had been replaced with the SP1 version and was no longer showing as unsigned in Autoruns.
[edit]
Appears to be a bug with the installer
