Up-to-date Windows Installation Media
Microsoft only provides Windows 7 installation media with service pack 1 applied. After every new installation, you have to apply over 150 updates. This is very time consuming.
Is there a way to integrate updates packages in the Windows installation disk?

Using "make" in Win7
In the lecture called "Digital Forensics" we had to use a tool called truecrack to crack a Truecrypt container.
The problem was that there is no executable file avaiable to install this program, you have to compile it by your own.
But in Windows it is not possible to execute such Makefiles without installing additional programs.
Create an "own package" for the 64 bit Operating Systems
It seems that the actual versions of xampp are for 32bit-versions of Windows operating systems. But after some search in the internet I found the good hint that all the parts of the xampp package are also alone available and I just needed the webserver (apache), php and mysql and all three are available in a 64 bit version.
I've downloaded that three that are normally part of the package, installed them make some changes in the configuration (I found a tutorial on the internet for this) and it worked.

Using xampp with Windows 7 64 Bit
Xampp that I normally use for creating PHP-sites didn't worked at this computer with a 64 bit Windows 7. The Problem is that I needed it to make some changes in the source of a php-site and this with that new computer. First I had to install xampp which I did, but it didn't worked.
