First time I've heard of HF Slip, but thanks for pointing me to it. It does look like a solution to my problem.

I have an installation CD for Windows 2000 Professional with Service Pack 4 that includes an old version of Internet Explorer and Outlook Express (v5). I also have an installation CD for Internet Explorer and Outlook Express 6.0 Service Pack 1. Is it possible to use nLite to integrate the newer version of Internet Explorer and Outlook Express, and, if so, how?

I've recently run into the following little problem: After a successful installation of my nLite XPsp2 with current updates & hotfixes, I normally go to Windows Update to check for any updates I've missed and WGA inevitably pops up as a needed update. Well, I've found that, after installing WGA, an SFC (Windows File Protection) message pops up saying something to the effect that I should put the Windows installation CD back into the drive because some Windows system files have changed and the original files, therefore, need to be recovered. If I comply and put the nLite CD back into the drive, SFC is quickly satisfied and I can move on to the necessary reboot after installing the WGA. Due to the rapidity of SFC's satisfaction, my impression is that the nLite CD is merely looked at, and no files are actually changed, although I can't say for sure. However, if I do not put the nLite CD back into the drive and just ignore the SFC message to go on to the required reboot after installation of the WGA, I end up with the same SFC message popping up to bug me again after Windows reloads. As a possible fix for this problem, I see that, when building my nLite CD, I have the option in "Patches" to turn off SFC(Windows File Protection); but using this option means that subsequent installations of Windows using the resulting nLite CD will not have SFC (Windows File Protection), which is not a very good thing, it seems to me. I know that this is not a major nit, but I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this, and how they have handled it . . . ?
