I have downloaded TMG_ENU_SE_EVAL_AMD64.exe and extracted its content to the root drive (c:\), inside a folder called Microsoft Forefront TMG. Also I have downloaded TMG Server 2010 SP1 ( TMG-KB981324-AMD64-ENU.msp ) and saved it inside a folder, on the root drive, called : TMG SP1 , and also download software Update 1 ( TMG-KB2288910-amd64-ENU.exe ) and saved it inside a folder in the root directory called TMG SP1 SU1 as shown in the below image.

3. To merge SP1 with TMG setup files, type the following command :

   C:\<TMG-folder-name\FPC>Msiexec /a MS_FPC_Server.msi /p <TMG-sp1-file-path>

Congratulation…You now have TMG Server 2010 + SP1 installation files.

Follow the below steps to slipstream TMG Server 2010 SP1 With SU1

1. First we will need to extract the Software Update 1 executable file, to get the .msp file out of it.

• Open Command Prompt and change the directory to where you have downloaded Software Update 1type : cd “c:\TMG SP1 SU1”
• Type the name of the SU1 .exe filename and followied by /integrate: /t and then followed by the path to where you want to extract its content.
  I will be extracting it to the same folder along with its .exe file, so my path would be C:\TMG SP1 SU1TMG-KB2288910-amd64-ENU.exe /integrate /t “C:\TMG SP1 SU1”This will extract the .msp file out from the .exe file.

Now that we have the .msp file, we are going to repeat the same steps used to slipstream SP1.

2. In Command Prompt, change the directory to  C:\Microsoft Forefront TMG\FPC
3. Now type the following command :msiexec /a MS_FPC_Server.msi /p “C:\TMG SP1 SU1\TMG-KB2288910-amd64-ENU.msp”and hit Enter

• On the Welcome to the Installation Wizard for Microsoft Forefront TMG Service Pack 1 Update 1 page, click Next
• On the Network Location page, as you can see, Software Update 1 files will be slipstream with the content of the C:\Microsoft Forefront TMG\FPC\  folder, click Next
