sabregreen, I have same error as roadrunner64 in my setuperr.log and am using a OEM version as my source. whats is this error related to ? is it very serious ? thanks

For anyone wanting to do a clean install of Windows XP with the latest hotfixes as of May 25, IE8 and WMP11 slipstreamed, I just used the 1.7.9 beta release and it installed flawlessly with an original XP Pro OEM SP2 slipstreamed source. Except a very minor thing that has already been pointed out is the show desktop icon does not appear in the quick launch toolbar, but who cares. Thanks once again TommyP for the 1.7.9 beta release and keeping HFSLIP going this long. Attached is my HFSLIP log HFSLIP.txt

Thanks for the welcome Super-Magician, I never ended up using your SP3 Security Pack, because I wanted to slipstream the hotfixes instead, which is why I used HFSLIP. I saw a link to TommyP's site from your forum on s.p.a.m site, sorry if it sounded like I used your pack. I know all about the "Important things to know" page on the HFSLIP site, I just think it should also mention that if you choose not to activate Windows before the first logon of a new Windows install, IE 7 will not install.

Since Microsoft is so delayed in the release of SP3 for XP, I went searching for a substitute and came across Super-Magician's SP3 Security Pack, then got thinking if there was a way to slipstream all the hotfixes into a XP install disc, and from there linked to TommyP's HFSLIP. Now getting to the point, after reading all about TommyP's HFSLIP and how to do it, I tried Slipstreaming about 4 times to get everything right the way I wanted it, and it is except the installation of IE 7 at the first GUI logon. Why? well because looking at the IE 7 log, the WGA Check Failed and the install of IE 7 was aborted because I chose not to activate Windows before the first GUI logon of Windows. So I think it would be great to note this on the "Important things to know" page, that if you want IE 7 to install at the first logon you have to choose to activate Windows before you logon so that IE 7 will see that your Windows is genuine. Correct me if I'm wrong or if there's a way around this, and why can't IE 7 be slipstreamed like WMP11 in XP Pro since WMP11 requires a check to see if Windows is genuine also. Thanks to TommyP for your Hotfix Slipstreamer and Super-Magician for your SP3 Security Pack for those that dont want to slipstream.
