I have successfully created Win2000 SP4 slipstreamed on a bootable DVD disc with all Hotfixes, Recommended updates, IE6SP1, WMP 9 series, DirectX9.0b, Slipstreamed Office XP SP3 and a number of other applications. Slipstreamed Windows XP with Hotfixes must be similar and hence, I suggest this method to try. I had problem using SVCPACK method because some of the Hotfixes were not installed using that method. Therefore, I did the following: 1. Saved all the downloaded "Hotfixes" (Critical & Security Updates) and "Win2000 Recommended updates" after renaming them using 8.3 convention, in the $OEM$ folder. The only exception were: Q832483 (MDAC) and Q831167 (an IE 6sp1 sec Update) I saved these two in a Folder I named "Hotfixes" created with in "Winapps" ( similar to your "Install" folder) [D:\W2000\$OEM$\$1\Winapps\Hotfixes] along with their own batch files with Start /Wait %systemdrive%\ path and the proper switches. 2. I saved the extracted DirectX9.0b redist, MS Java VM 3805, MS Java VM 3810 , MS Messenger 6.2 in their own folders in Winapps folder after renaming them with 8.3 method. 3.I saved the remaining properly prepared Applications like Acrobat6 Full, Adaware 6, IE6SP1, Nero6 Ultra, OfficeXPSP3, SunJava, Winrar and WMP9 in a folder named Aplikshn inside Winapps 4. I created individual batch files for all those programs saved in Aplikshn folder and saved them all in $OEM$ 5. I created a Cmdlines.txt and listed all their batchfiles in the order in which I wanted the setup to launch followed by the hotfixes with their appropriate swiches, and finally the recommended updates with their appropraite switches for silent noreboot installation. The cmdlines.txt was saved in $OEM$ along with the batch files for the applications as indicated in step #4 above. Cmdlines.txt looked like this: [Commands] ".\ie6.bat" ".\directx9.bat" ".\wmp.bat" ".\JavaVM.bat" ".\MSJavaVM.bat" ".\Acrobat6.bat" ".\Adaware6.bat" ".\MSNGER6.bat" ".\SunJava.bat" ".\Winrar.bat" ".\Officexp.bat" ".\Nero6.bat" "kb329115.exe /u /q /z" "kb819639.exe /Q:A /R:N" "kb823182.exe /u /q /z" "kb823559.exe /u /q /z" "kb824105.exe /u /q /z" "kb824141.exe /u /q /z" "q824145.exe /q:a /r:n" "kb824146.exe /u /q /z" "kb825119.exe /u /q /z" "kb826232.exe /passive /quiet /norestart" "kb828026.exe /u /q /z" "kb828028.exe /passive /quiet /norestart" "kb828035.exe /passive /quiet /norestart" "kb828749.exe /passive /quiet /norestart" "kb828750.exe /Q:A /R:N" "q832894.exe /q:a /r:n" "vbs56nen.exe /q /r:n" "JS56NEN.exe /Q /R:N" "KB837009.exe /Q:A /R:N" "Q831167.exe /Q:A /R:N" "KB828741.exe /passive /quiet /norestart" "KB837001.exe /passive /quiet /norestart" "KB835732.exe //passive /quiet /norestart" "qchain.exe" "q330994.exe /Q:A /R:N" "Q818043.exe /u /q /z" "JVsetup.exe /q:a /r:n" "KB820888.exe /u /q /z" "KB822831.exe /u /q /z" "KB829558.exe /u /q /z" "dotnetfx.exe /q:a /r:n" "rootsupd.exe /q:a /r:n" "qchain.exe" 6. In the Winnt.SIF saved in the i386 folder created Parallel to the $OEM$, I added the following : [GuiRunOnce] Command0="%systemdrive%\Winapps\hotfixes\MDAC.bat" Command1="%systemdrive%\Winapps\hotfixes\IEUpdate.bat" Note the Syntax of making the numbered Command= with the path in quotation for all the items used under [GuiRunOnce] Hope this solves the problem for both of you Good luck

Thank you lauredd and GreenMachine for your replies. In my next project of creating a Bootable DVD-ROM with Win2kSP4 with Hotfixes and other Applications, I will give XPCREATE a try and post my experinece. I was hoping to get some other easier ways to incorporate just the two Updates, the MDAC Security Patch KB832483 and the JScript 5.6 Security Patch for Windows 2000 and XP without altering the rest of the setup in my current project. Once again Thanks a Million.

I hope someone can lend me a helping hand in enabling me to integrate two errant ‘hotfixes’ [com_microsoft.Jscript_ win2K_XP_56_6003 (JS56nen.) and ENU_Q832483_MDAC_x86] I am unable to corral into my bootable disc despite my repeated attempts using different methods. I tried adding them both through (1)Hotfix.cmd in Cmdlines.txt, and in(2) SVCPACK (EXE+Cat+Latest Qchain.exe) +Svcpack.inf ([Delete old > create New with [VERSION] correctly filled [setupData] ,[ProductCatalogsToInstall with js56nen.cat], and [setupHotfixesToRun] with JS56NEN.exe /Q: A /R: N and Qchain.exe and correctly adding the binaries under [Files] in DOSNET.Inf .I also tried adding either or both in (3) [GuiRunOnce] placed at the bottom of Winnt.Sif and nothing I tried, seemed to help. For the past several weeks I have been trying to make a Win2kSP4 Integrated Bootable DVD Disc with the following on it. 1. Post- SP4 Critical and Security Updates (17) 2. 7Windows 2000 Recommended updates (7) 3. Internet Explorer 6SP1 4. DirectX9.0b 5. WMP9Series 6. MSJava3805 and then updating it to MSJava3810 7. SunJavaVM 8. MSN Messenger6.1.0207 9. Adobe Acrobat 6 Full 10. Adaware6.0 11. Nero 6 Platinum 12. Office XP –SP3 with Alternate User Input (KB832668) update I have been able to make a Bootable DVD with all but two of the “hotfixes” which refuse to install. First time I tried the SVCPAC+ SVCPACK.INF DOSNET method as described by MSKB and elaborated and clarified by sevearl experts in this Forum. After renaming (8.3 Format), and Expanding the Downloaded Critical Update files initailly downloaded to SVCPACK, I added Cat files to the SVC Pack and left the original Exe file and added the new (Mar2003) Qchain.exe to it. The Binaries were added to i386 folder and deleted those files originally in the i386 which the added binaries were to replacing. Deleted SVCpack.in in the i386 and created a new one with all the items like [version] etc and under [ProductCatalogsToInstall] listed the Q######.Cat and under [Hotfixes ToRun] the Q######.exe with the correct swiches depending upon so called type 1 and type2 classification. only 4 hotfixes out of 17 could be installed this way. Next time I tried the cmdlines.Txt method when I could install 15 hotfixes and all the other applications listed above but JS56nen.exe and Q832483 failed to install. Later I tried these two Separately and together both in SVCPACK method as a batch file with Start /Wait %systemdrive% method . After reboot when I go to Windows Update I found these two Critical Updates are always needed. If I place them in $OEM$\$1\Winapps\Hotfixes along with Hotfix.cmd and then include Hotfix.cmd entry showing the correct path in Cmd.txt (placed in $OEM$) I can just click the Hotfix.cmd copied to Winapps on the target HDD after the installation and the installation of the included Hotfix (es)will occur instantaneously. I am wondering, unlike the other hotfixes listed, which are automatically and silently installed, why these two files are ignored during the setup and why GuiRunOnce does not trigger the installation of Q832483. I will appreciate your help/input and will be glad to provide any other clarification /additional information if required to assist me. Thanks in advance CMN
