Thanks a lot. The download is now running (should be finished in 37
minutes as i write this), and I don't have to fiddle with
slipstreaming :-)


Eh, and can the ISO be used to create a bootable USB?


Yes.

An 8GB USB key is what I use (sufficient to handle some
oversized Win10 installs).

From a previous posting...

*******

"Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool
(extracts from ISO9660 file and copies files to USB stick)"

The first link is the README, the second link the download.

If you operate that tool from a 64-bit OS, it can make
32 bit or 64 bit USB sticks from
32 bit ISO or 64 bit ISO files.

If your "preparation machine" is 32 bit, you'll need to find
and install a 32-bit version of bootsect.exe in the program
folder of that program. Note that the installation is non-standard
and the tool was obviously not created by Microsoft themselves.

I have successfully used a WinXP 32 bit machine to make USB
keys to install Win7,Win8,Win10 of either the 32 bit or the
64 bit ISO9660 image. Finding a bootsect.exe that was a
32 bit executable, and adding that, was all I needed to make
it work.

HTH,
