Windows vista all-in-one iso download

The Short and sweet

Yes there's such ISO images; find it/them on TPB ('nuff said)....

The long and bittersweet
From what i'm reading; i'm assuming you're talking about a SLIPSTREAMED VISTA CD/DVD containing all the necessary OEM install media (VISTA x64/x86, Starter, Home Basic, Premium, Business, Ultimate) WITH all the Service Packs and KB's preinstalled and updated as recent as possible INSIDE the ISO. If that's the case; i would suggest you build one yourself because 
1) the information i provided above may have outdated slipstreamed images since nobody want to focus on them anymore
2) And because the outdated slipstreamed images might not suit you; you control and install all the necessary KB's in the slipstream ISO
3) You can also add all YOUR NECESSARY freeware software into the slipstream (CCLEANER, SysInternals, TeamViewer, Windows Defender, etc...)
4) Regional settings controlled in the slipstream (US/UK Keyboard layout; date time format; languages; Increased font size for OAP's.. etc..)

In doing your own SlipStream image; you customise the ISO to your shops' necessary requirements and experiences. 

Sorry if this isnt exactly the answer you're looking for....

PS : May i suggest when possible; after you've finished the PC install job, you try and create a factory recovery partition? I understand how you would like to make a clean isntall for the customer; but also a way for you to reset to YOUR FACTORY setup. You may want to lookup for a few solutions on how to make factory recovery partitions and ISO's after you've finished the job..

Make one, but why would you even bother with Vista since multiple other Oses have been out since then 7, 8, 8.1 and 4 versions of 10 (RTM, 1511, 1607 and 1703)

I work at a computer repair shop in a retirement community, need I say more? I'm very aware that Vista is at EOL, and that many operating systems have been released since then. That is not an answer within the scope of the question. I'm looking to streamline repairs on customer systems that come in, and attempting to alleviate the time spent waiting for Vista to perform updates, why else would I need a slipstreamed Vista ISO? I'm also very aware that I could make my own, that's also not the question I asked. I'm wondering if anyone knows of one that already exists, so I can avoid the headache of doing it myself.

I am with Rod and curious why would you want one?

Correct, but as a shop or spare time repair guy, you know that you don't have the rights to make a single OEM disk and if you use VL media, your customers are not eligible to use it.

You are not an OEM manufacture so don't have the imaging rights for this.

If customers do not have the repair partition when their motherboard dies, so does the OS license, given you and I both agree Vista is long gone, you wont be able to purchase a new license to install it in the first place, so we're going to end up in circles.

The ISO is still online for oem installs but since its like literally no point just upgrade to Windows 10

Just search google it's there. But for VL etc its always on Microsoft vlsc but they don't qualify

Inbox me for help

See my post above, you don't have a VL license and couldn't install it on customers machines, you wont get the rights to use OEM media to deploy images and if you bought and owned every version out there, you still don't get imaging rights.

Those versions you talk about are compiled by a third party and also should not be distributed, so back to making your own, though I would be cautious as you are likely not in compliance with licensing here.

While we al know 'they' exist, I am giving you advice to avoid further legalities.

I think we may have replied to his post at the same time, but I'll repeat reply. I've been working at a small mom and pop style computer repair shop for about 3 years now, and the vast majority of systems that come in are Windows 7, but closely following that is the number of Vista systems that people just aren't willing to part with, due to our town being mostly comprised of retirees that don't understand the concept of how upgrading benefits them, no matter how many times, or how fully we explain it to them. And so the problem becomes this:

Even with XP having been out of date for a few years now, we have those systems come in from time to time, and it takes less than a day to reload (if necessary), find and install even the most obscure drivers, update Windows, and transfer data back to the system, (if requested). Windows 7 takes a bit longer, due to the large number of updates and who knows what else the update servers go through. Windows 10, of course, I've almost gotten down to an hour from reload to ready for pickup. However, Vista takes an OBSCENELY long time, sometimes requiring us to leave our WSUS script running over a weekend to even get the initial updates done after installing SP2. This is unacceptable for most of our customers, and is hurting our image as IT professionals, regardless of the fact that it's not our fault. Keep in mind, we are using a server and gigabit networking to do the updates locally through WSUS. There is no faster way that I know of to get updates to a system other than having them install with the initial OS installation. Hense, the reason I posted originally. My apologies for not explaining this in detail prior, I thought it would be more easily answered if there wasn't a wall of text, and this is my first time posting, so I very well have misjudged the commonplace method of posting questions. If that is the case, I would like to know, so that I don't make that mistake in the future.

Also, the link you posted in reply was for purchasing an original copy of Vista, which is mainly for the key imho. We have several ISOs for the installation, and while I CAN make what I want myself, I'm hoping it's already been done, and someone can point me towards a download for an ISO that has all of the updates (or at least the critical ones that don't rely on what hardware the system uses), already slipstreamed in order to make reinstalling Vista on customer computers less time intensive. 

The post was not intended to have anything to do with licensing. My apologies for your misunderstanding. We will only be using this as a replacement for our existing ISOs, and will be using the keys that belong to the systems themselves, as is common practice among IT professionals such as myself and my colleagues.

Creating an image of multiple versions is not difficult, WDS will do this for you, you can even capture images once patched and upload them to the system.

So we are clear though I understand why you want this and appreciate time is a pain, my concern is you don't have the rights to deploy from such media.

If rights are required to add updates to the frontend of an installation as opposed to performing them later, then why do so many slipstreaming posts and programs exist? What legal documents apply here? Or, what would be the method to obtaining such rights? Or, what methods could be used in place to make Vista easier to deal with?

That's not how you spell Vista

Ohh yea copied wrong link from my notes

http://hitnfind.com/operating-system-2/windows-vista-all-in-one-iso-free-download/

This is just a plain Vista installation, not what I'm looking for. Thanks for the effort though.

The issue isn't with slipstreaming of updates, it's the deployment of said content thereafter, specifically in the case of a shop, I don't know or confess to know the legalities behind how, or what shops can or cannot do.

I am simply pointing it out that you might want clarification on such an image.

It's your shop/business, how you run it is up to you, but as someone who works in IT too I wouldn't want to know a business has sunken for something they misunderstood. That's all.

The Short and sweet

Yes there's such ISO images; find it/them on TPB ('nuff said)....

From what i'm reading; i'm assuming you're talking about a SLIPSTREAMED VISTA CD/DVD containing all the necessary OEM install media (VISTA x64/x86, Starter, Home Basic, Premium, Business, Ultimate) WITH all the Service Packs and KB's preinstalled and updated as recent as possible INSIDE the ISO. If that's the case; i would suggest you build one yourself because 
1) the information i provided above may have outdated slipstreamed images since nobody want to focus on them anymore
2) And because the outdated slipstreamed images might not suit you; you control and install all the necessary KB's in the slipstream ISO
3) You can also add all YOUR NECESSARY freeware software into the slipstream (CCLEANER, SysInternals, TeamViewer, Windows Defender, etc...)
4) Regional settings controlled in the slipstream (US/UK Keyboard layout; date time format; languages; Increased font size for OAP's.. etc..)

In doing your own SlipStream image; you customise the ISO to your shops' necessary requirements and experiences. 

Sorry if this isnt exactly the answer you're looking for....

PS : May i suggest when possible; after you've finished the PC install job, you try and create a factory recovery partition?

Thank you for understanding, and your kind words regarding my restraint. I've been in IT just long enough to know that I don't know everything, and that for every 1 relevant answer, there are 50 that will infuriate you if you let them.

This is exactly the kind of well thought out, informative reply for which I was looking. Thank you for your understanding and relevant answer. While I'm sure there are some copies on TPB, I was thinking of something a bit more reputable, and now I understand, (Thanks to you and DragonsRule's posts) why there is not! Again, I deeply appreciate the time that you took to expand on your answers instead of just implying that I'm dumb for even attempting this. I believe I'll just keep telling people the same thing I've been telling them, and if they don't want to pony up the money for an upgrade, then they get what they get. I'll absolve myself of the responsibility of keeping everyone's everything under control. 

I can't thank you guys enough for restoring a little bit of my hope for humanity ^_^
