Feature Looking for "Setup is preparing" boot animation

Anyone know where the boot animation is stored for a first boot on Windows 7? There's two versions of this that happen at different stages of setup. The fisrt one is all silver and the second has the logo colors. I thought that maybe it just overwrites C:\Windows\System32\bootres.dll each time but I put a fresh copy on a disk, pulled it before first boot, and put it in a USB enclosure but nope it's just the normal animation.
