<p>On Windows XP reinstallation as a component IE 7 too was installed. Immediately after installation I tried it. It worked fine. I also tried Firefox and GoogleChrome. After that there were several updates including IE which I updated along with SP3. Now IE 7 does not work. I cannot connect to internet through IE. But I can use Firefox or GoogleChrome without any problem. </p><p>Why is it not working?</p><p>My reason for re-installation of OS was due to repeated problems due to _Anti-spyware program -<strong> "bestantivirusscan.com"</strong>  Do you think it is possible that program is still there hidden even after clean re-installation of the OS causing IE not to work?</p><p>What is the best way available for me to get IE 7 work again?</p><p>Thanks</p>

<p>XPCREATE has been updated to handle the latest hotfixes, and create a Windows Installation Disk the lists no High Priority or Recommended Updates upon first boot. This version is still in the test phase, and currently I have only tested with Windows XP. The vast majority of the various types of hotfixes and updates (93 of 116) are slipstreamed into the source. The remainder are installed at the T-13 point in the installation, via the SVCPACK.INF installation file. The files that are not actually slipstreamed include:</p><ul><li>Windows Media Player 11 and Updates<br></li><li>Internet Explorer 7 and Updates<br></li><li>.Net Versions 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0<br></li><li>Digital Rights Management<br></li><li>Windows Update Agent<br></li></ul><p>While most of these updates install or slipstream in the standard fashion used in previous versions of XPCREATE, there are a few significant exceptions:</p><ul><li>Windows Media Player 11: The various installation files have been extracted from the original distribution file, in order to install without the uninstall option.<br></li><li>Internet Explorer 7: In order to install the updates during the Windows Installation process, the main Internet Explorer file, IEXPLORE.EXE, has been slipstreamed into the Windows source.<br></li><li>.NET 2.0 / 3.0: Two registry edits, as noted in Aaron Stebner’s Blog, are made to allow the installation to succeed<br></li></ul><p>My tests have all been performed using an MSDN Windows Volume License Key (VLK) version of Windows XP, and Royalty OEM Versions (i.e. Dell, HP, etc.). These versions do not require activation. This is of significance for installing Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player. In retail versions of Windows, it may not be possible to install these Windows Components during Windows installation, as Windows Genuine Authentication, thus Windows activation, may be required.</p><p>The most difficult challenge in preparing this version of XPCREATE was installing .Net Version 3.0, without breaking the WebClient Service. For reasons unbeknownst to me, the key seems to be in the order of which different updates are installed, some of which would appear to have no relation to either .Net or the WebClient service.  I cannot explain the why or wherefore of this, but after burning and installing an embarrassing number of installation DVDs, I came upon an installation order that works.</p><p>The resulting Windows Installation DVD does cause a few errors to appear in the Windows Event Log Viewer. In the System Log, there is a reported error for the installation of the Shockwave Flash Internet Explorer plug-in. I believe this to be a “false” alert, as Shockwave is installed and working. Both .Net 2.0 and .Net 3.0 result in 2 errors in the Application Log. These errors are better explained on Aaron Stebner’s Blog. Both version of .Net do install and function.</p><p>Finally, the Windows Installation Source produced is close to 900 Mbytes in size. Even removing many of the “unneeded” files results in a source over 700 Mbytes, thus too big to fit on a CD. Until Windows XP Service Pack 3 is released, I will not be attempting to “slim” this down to CD size.</p><p>The <a href="http://www.xpcreate.com/current.htm" rel="external nofollow">XPCREATE Web Site</a> has been updated to list the hotfixes needed for Windows XP.</p><p>This version is still in the test phase. If you are an experienced user of XPCREATE, and if you are interested in testing, and have access to a VLK or Royalty OEM version of Windows XP to test, please send me a PM, and I will send you a link to the test version of XPCREATE. Once I have enough testers, I will remove the downloadable test version, until I am satisfied with the results and the (possible) corrections.</p>

<p>Hello friends,</p><p>BITS (background intelligent transfer service) is not scheduling jobs correctly.  I am creating some concurrent jobs and their priorities are at the same level.  As per the BITS documentation, the following should happen</p><p>.</p><p>"...The job moves between the queued, connecting, and transferring states until BITS transfers all files in the job. At that point, the job moves to the transferred state. BITS uses round-robin scheduling to schedule jobs that are at the same priority level. Each job is given a slice of time to process its files. If the job does not complete during its time slice, the job goes back to the queued state and the next job in the queue is activated. This prevents large jobs from blocking smaller jobs. Jobs are processed largely on a first in, first out (FIFO) basis; however, BITS cannot guarantee FIFO processing because of round-robin scheduling, job errors, and service restarts...."</p><p>But BITS is transferrring jobs serially in my case.  It is not time slicing - nothing.  It first completes one job entirely and only then picks up the next jobSad  What I want is the normal BITS round robin scheduling.</p><p>If any of you has faced this problem, please get back to me - I am really stuck with this headache.  There is not much support for BITS on web.  Your pointers will be really appreciated.</p><p>Regards,</p><p>Murtaza Tinwala</p>

<p>@All,</p><p>I was wondering if there is anybody out there that is still using XPCREATE. Well I am still using it and I managed to get a unattended XP cdrom that has only 4 updates missing. 2 are for IE 7.0 and the others are the root certificates update and dotnet 3.0.</p><p>There are posts in other topics and forums that speak about slipstreaming IE 7.0 and the updates but I had no success in doing so. Also the dotnetfx3.exe installation with /q or /qb or /passive is not quite working. It installs but Windows Update is still showing the dotnet 3.0 as an update needed.</p><p>It would be nice to have an updated XPCREATE that incorporates IE 7.0 and dotnet 3.0. So I hope Greenmachine can do something for us people that still are using his GREAT tool.</p><p>Thanks in advance,</p><p>Greetings, Bitfrotter</p>

<p>I have heard great things about XPCREATE, BUT I can't figure out how to download a copy. I have been learning other windows update gathering and slipstreaming software methods for building a list of fixes and updates from Microsoft and slipstream them into a XP setup disk.</p><p>I guess what I am really interested in is what's up with XPCREATE AND GREENMACHINE. Is this software really worth the extra effort and is there something better.</p><p>Thanks, Neil</p>

<p>Hi,</p><p>I downloaded XpCreate.exe (free ver) and installed it to C:\xpcreate. The file xpcreate.ini was not in it. I tried extracting to the same folder. I have admin. rights. folder options are set to, show hidden files, show files with known extensions and the other relavent one is good. I clicked on the INIMAN and INITOOL exe files that only made the DOS window flash open/closed.</p><p>The directions at the XpCreate site mention nothing about "making" an ini file they only talk about editing it in fact it seems to be the most important file in the whole operation. I really don't fancy making my own since the only thing I need to do is slipstream post sp2 updates (already downloaded) to a unattended installation work already in the making.</p><p>Unless i'm missing something simple here I can just go back to doing it manually and forget about XpCreate.</p>

Not first time poster.</p><p>I wanted to give something back to the forum for all the help it has been to me over the years of using XPCREATE. 90% or more of the work below is someone else's, and I don't even know who to give credit to except they posted in this forum. (I searched but did not find the original file).</p><p>Anyway, this CMD file contains all the necessary information to download all the XP hotfixes from the May 2006 failsafe list into the proper folders using the download.exe file from the author below:</p><p>File Downloader - Version 1.07 (build 49.2)</p><p>Downloads a file from a HTTP or a FTP server.</p><p>Copyright © 2004-2005, Noël Danjou &lt;webmaster@noeld.com&gt;</p><p>I've added a .TXT extension so you can see the file in your text editor, but remove the .TXT and put it and DOWNLOAD.EXE in the XPCREATE folder. Simply run DOWNLOAD.CMD to start the process.</p><p>I hope this helps someone who wants to download all the hotfixes quickly and easily, and if this annoys you then keep moving to the next topic.  <img src="https://msfn.org/board/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" alt=":P" data-src="https://msfn.org/board/uploads/emoticons/default_tongue.png"></p><p>Thanks again for all the help and time saved with XPCREATE!</p><p><a href="https://msfn.org/board/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=14209">download.cmd.txt</a></p>

<p><strong><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#009900;">XPCREATE 2006</span></span></strong></p><p>I am in the process of wrapping up XPCREATE 2006, and have put up a test version for downloading. (Link at bottom of post.)</p><p>There have been very few functional changes, as I feel the XPCREATE has achieved it's goals in terms of design: slipstream the latest hotfixes, and produce a distribution CD that reports zero updates available, in both the High Priority and Optional sections of Windows Update.</p><p>The main changes are:</p><p>1) Duplicate versions of the same file in different hotfixes are now compared by file version number, and not date. While this has no effect on the current set of hotfixes for Windows XP, it does effect a couple of files on WIndows 2000 installations.</p><p>2) SATA Driver Integration has been completly redesigned. The complete sections relating to SCSI drivers in TXTSETUP.SIF are now rewritten, avoiding both doubles in file names, and PCI Hardware IDs. Several drivers, e.g. Silicon Image SATA, and Promise Ultra and FastTrack, have been known to "share" PCI IDs. XPCREATE will now only keep one of the conflicting IDs. While this may not be the optimal solution, it should reduce driver conflict issues.</p><p>3) Support for .NET Framework 2.0 is now included. A work-around discussed by a certain Aaron of Microsoft has been implemented, wherein changes are made to the registry before and after the .NET installation. This works on Windows 2000 as well as XP and Server 2003.</p><p>4) An extensive build report can now be generated. This Summary Report readily shows the hotfixes integrated, the files included in these hotfixes, the version numbers of these files, a matrix cross referencing files and hotfixes, SATA integration information, and more. As this report does add five to ten minutes to the XPCREATE process, it is not active by default. Before any error reporting, XPCREATE should be run using this option: LOGCREATE=YES in XPCREATE.INI</p><p></p><div></div><pre class="ipsCode">================================================================================<br>======================= XPCREATE Summary and Log Report ========================<br>================================================================================<br>=																			  =<br>= XPCREATED on 15/06/2006					Windows Version : XPP			 =<br>= Started at   19:56:13					  Service Pack	: 2			   =<br>= Finished at  20:25:29														=<br>=																			  =<br>= HF1 Hotfixes :  50						  CF1 Hotfixes :   2			   =<br>= HF2 Hotfixes :   0						  CF2 Hotfixes :   0			   =<br>=																			  =<br>= .NET 1.1 Framework   : YES				 Windows Media Player   : YES	  =<br>= .NET 2.0 Framework   : YES				 DirectX 9			  : NO	   =<br>= Windows Update Agent : YES				 Shockwave Flash Player : YES	  =<br>=																			  =<br>= Mass Storage Drivers :   0				 Double File Messages   :  13	  =<br>= MSD Warning Messages :   0												   =<br>=																			  =<br>================================================================================<br>================================================================================</pre><p></p><p></p><div></div><pre class="ipsCode">================================================================================<br>Slipstreamed Files and Hotfixes Matrix <br>================================================================================<br><br>			 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | <br>			 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |B| <br>			 |8|8|8|8|8|8|8|8|8|8|8|9|9|9|9|9|9|9|9|9|9|9|9|9|9|9|9|9|9|9|9|9|9|9|9|A| <br>			 |9|9|9|9|9|9|9|9|9|9|9|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|1|1|1|1|1|1|1|1|1|1|1|1|1|S| <br>			 |0|3|6|6|6|6|8|9|9|9|9|0|1|1|1|2|4|4|5|8|8|8|0|1|1|1|1|1|2|4|6|7|7|7|8|E| <br>			 |0|7|3|4|4|4|7|5|5|5|5|7|0|1|2|4|7|9|4|5|5|9|4|2|5|5|5|9|9|3|2|3|7|9|4|C| <br>			 |4|5|5|2|2|2|1|8|8|8|9|2|1|9|1|0|0|4|1|1|3|8|3|8|6|6|6|2|1|8|8|4|3|5|3|S| <br>			 |6|6|8|2|4|8|5|7|8|9|1|5|7|0|4|0|6|2|4|9|1|1|7|0|2|4|7|7|9|9|1|4|4|3|9|P| <br>			 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | <br>admin.dll	| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |X| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | <br>agentdpv.dll |X| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | <br>author.dll   | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |X| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | <br>axaltocm.dll | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |X| <br>basecsp.dll  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |X| <br>bcsprsrc.dll | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |X| <br>browseui.dll | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |X| | | | | | <br>catsrv.dll   | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |X| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | <br>catsrvut.dll | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |X| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | <br>cdosys.dll   | | | | | | | | | | | | |X| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | <br>cfgwiz.exe   | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |X| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | <br>clbcatex.dll | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |X| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | <br>clbcatq.dll  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |X| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | <br>colbact.dll  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |X| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | <br>comadmin.dll | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |X| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |</pre><p></p><p>5) The Hotfix Downloading Functionality is making a comeback. However, I do not plan on keeping a list available for download. You may either use a local file, or use a custom HTTP URL.</p><p>6) As requested, the first run of XPCREATE once again creates the directory structure.</p><p>After this version is released, I will update the documentation. Until then, the basic steps remain unchanged. On the XPCREATE Web Site, the Current Hotfixes and What Goes Where Pages are up to date.</p><p><strong><span style="font-size:12px;">Known Issues:  Windows XP</span></strong></p><p>1) The files WMP.DLL and MSSCP.DLL are correctly installed during setup, but overwritten during system reboot. These files correspond to hotfixes KB917734 and KB902344. The attached code can be saved as XPSETUP.CMD (or a name of your choice), and placed in the SVC-CMD directory. This will schedule a RunOnce task to copy the backed up version of these files over the incorrect versions when the first user logs on. Note that this user must have administrator privileges.</p><p><strong><span style="font-size:12px;">Known Issues: Windows 2000</span></strong></p><p>1) As above, the file QUARTZ.DLL, from hotfix KB904706 , must be restored to the correct version. The attached batch file, 2KSETUP.CMD.TXT, will do this. This file must be saved with the .CMD extension, e.g. 2KSETUP.CMD, and placed in the SVD-CMD directory.</p><p>2) The hotfix 832483 is reported as missing if not installed. However, installing 832483 prevents the subsequent MDAC update to install before a reboot. Installing in the reverse order results in 832483 not being able to be installed at any point. Most importantly, this update (832483) only contains files that are superceeded by other versions, and adds no registry information, other than the "installed" flags. The following batch file, saved as indicated above, will set these values in the regsitry. I suspect that Microsoft will straighten out this glitch before long, but for now this work around is without side effects.</p><p>3) The .NET 2.0 installations reports the following error in the setuperr.log file:</p><p></p><div></div><pre class="ipsCode">Error:<br>Setup failed to install the .NET Framework Migration Package package (version 2.0) on your system. Software which depends on this package may not function properly.  Contact your system administrator.</pre><p></p><p>I have not yet determined the consequences of this message, but Windows Update does report .NET 2.0 as needing to be installed.</p><p>4) The following error, concerning a DirectX file, also apears in setuperr.log:</p><p></p><div></div><pre class="ipsCode">Error:<br>Setup detected that the system file named [c:\windows\system32\drivers\msdv.sys] is not signed properly by Microsoft.  This file could not be restored to the correct Microsoft version. Use the SFC utility to verify the integrity of the file.</pre><p></p><p>I am not sure why the .CAT file is not found, but it is present.</p><p>Feel fere to post comments or questions!</p><p>XPCREATE Download : <a href="http://xpcreate.com/download/XPCTEST.EXE" rel="external nofollow">HERE</a></p><p><a href="https://msfn.org/board/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=12993">XPPSETUP.CMD.TXT</a></p><p><a href="https://msfn.org/board/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=12994">2KSSETUP.CMD.TXT</a></p>

<p>Hello, </p><p>I would like to extend my apprecation to individual(s) and the members of this board who have made this process of intergrateing/Slipstreaming updates to Windows XP.</p><p>I have been using XPCREATE to create updated XPPRO Disk when i see a need to (ie. to many updates install).  I see references to Driver Packs and not sure what these packs are.  I have been for the past several months wondering how to incoprate updated LAN, VIDEO drivers into my updated drivers.  I have see the references and notes regarding RAID/SATA drivers, however it continues to confuse me.  How do i specifily add these packs to my XPCD. </p><p>I appreciate any assistances for members of this board.  I do applogy for my lack of understand, and again appreciate the members of this boards time and patience.</p>

<p>On the XPCreate site, it says that "When run, XPCREATE connects to an Internet server to obtain a list of hotfixes that must be downloaded for your Windows version. This list will be used to determine which files must be downloaded from the Internet, and which files are already present locally."</p><p>"...for my Windows version." Which version is referred to here? Does XPCreate check the XP installation of the computer on which I'm running XPCreate?</p><p>The reason I ask is because I would like to use the ISO CD which I'm going to build using XPCreate to install XP on a different computer, with different hardware, than the one on which I'm running XPcreate.</p><p>So if I'm running XPcreate on Computer-1, but I want to use the ISO image that I'm building to install XP Pro on Computer-2, what good will it have been for XPcreate to check which files are "present locally", since files which are present locally on Computer-1 won't necessarilly be present on Computer-2 ?</p><p>Have I misunderstood what XPCreate does?</p>

<p>Hello All,</p><p>Today I'm testing the free release of XPcreate 20 august 2005.</p><p>It looks all promising and well prepared.</p><p>I collected hotfixes and some other updates, saved them in the correct folders.</p><p>But while installing from the new created XP home CD, I encountered the following error message in what seems a CMD window of the installer.</p><p>It said something that sounds like:</p><p>XPCTF108.exe:</p><p>The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction.</p><p>After I clicked OK, the installer continued, but this worries me.</p><p>What went wrong?</p><p>===</p><p>Well, I found the logfile and learned that XPCT108.EXE is a new name for Windows-KB890830-V1.7A-ENU.exe, which was corrupt in my source. And it appears that I can't download a complete version from microsoft.com. I got Windows-KB890830-V1.5-ENU.exe instead.</p><p>Going to do a new test with this.</p><p>Anyway, compliments to the developer of this script!</p>
