    Just to be clear, If I have a pc with Win 7 professional that I am willing to dedicate as my "Zune Updater" do I still need to create a separate partition? Or can I just follow the rest of the steps? 

    Thanks!!

    Hi, I tried this method but running the x64 threw an error: "Error attempting to read from the source install database: C:\Windows\Installer\6c20caec.msi".

    I have W7 Enterprise 64 bit with Zune 4.8 installed. Any idea's?

    just follow instructions dude. its very easy ;D.  open offline update.txt . i thing its more than enough to achieve the goal . i left it the very same way i use abyss. (run abysssws.exe file ;D). look for images in page 2 ;D

    edit: i only used 20 gigs for win 7 in my PC ... i also got ubuntu, mac  and win 10 on my computer (used to install win 7 just for beta recovery firmware testing) ;D . run abyss on win 10 and let me know if anything goes wrong :3 (btw... abtss .conf its abyss.conf file on abyss web server root folder ;D). 

    I beg you ... read all pages in post please :3
