  1. Well, no, not really. If one uses the WMP11 slipstreamer separately it also integrates the hotfixes and more importantly one can choose Boooggy's tweaked version. Latest MSI is supported, but not critical by any means.
  2. No, Avast, I think so but it was some time ago
  3. Added details on 5eraph's update pack. TranceEnergy: The Visual C++ 2008 runtimes seem to be a bit of a "dog's breakfast" as detailed here. [OT Alert] On the hardware front, that memory is relatively well priced here, besides as I picked up the hardware on the way home from work on Wednesday advice will have to wait for next time. Building computers since you were 5? These young whipper-snappers, I remember when real computers had 16K RAM (TRS-80) and for a memory expansion you inserted individual ICs into the motherboard (I upgraded to 48K ). $650 was a lot of pocket money back in the early 80s. Still you were able to build your own hardware expansions, I added a joystick (wired directly into the keyboard matrix).
  4. Simply because one of the Application AddOns (K-Lite codec x64) requires the x64 version, pretty petty really. Note that C++ 2008 is NOT cumulative with C++ 2005. Huh? The instructions state either .Net 3.5 or .Net 2.0, one will be installed, the missing one will generate a "File not found" error. If for some insane reason one puts both installers there then the effect will be the same as if just the .Net 3.5 installer was included. .Net 3.5 should be fully installed before the 2 minute countdown even starts. I got the 2 minutes by timing my VM install, initially I had it set for 5 minutes and I watched how long it took for the USB-HDD I have my VM on to settle down. A real system should be at least as fast as my VM (ML-34 Turion, 1GB Real RAM, 384MB Virtual RAM & Virtual 16GB HDD on a USB-HDD). Now back to playing with my new Meccano set.
  5. I'm getting a server crash at that site at the moment. XP_IA64 is for Intel's Itanium architecture, you've looking for XP_AMD64 or XP_x64.
  6. Not holidays exactly, if it was I'd have some time. I mean to have an in depth look at the extras in 5eraph's pack when I get the chance, not sure when that will be though. I don't include the Malicious Software Removal Tool for 2 reasons: 1. If you're going to run it, do so after you've installed all your applications, if not then just ignore it. 2. By virtue of showing up when you check for updates, it proves that the Windows Update service is working correctly.
  7. From memory I had a similar false positive about a week or so ago when making an nLited W2K CD (I can't say for sure if it was sfc.dll though, my memory isn't that good).
  8. I take it you are aware that the free version only closes ports, rather than stealthing them like XP's built in firewall does?
  9. Other than using May's update list rather than the current July one, nothing actually. The reason that most of the hotfixes don't show up in [Add/Remove Programs] is that they are directly integrated into the install media (thereby saving space & time). Only those that aren't integrated will show, being those in the 2 batch files and those located at \I386\svcpack. The hotfixes at \I386\svcpack are ones that nLite can't integrate, usually because they add new features to the OS, they are instead executed at T-13, the same time as most program AddOns.
  10. Well, I don't know what changed between 4.12.3 and this version, but it now works with Win2000. Result
  11. July updates Deletion: Hotfix\390-Windows2000-KB941644-x86-ENU.EXE Addition: Hotfix\520-Windows2000-KB951748-x86-ENU.EXE [836,320] Modified: Rewrote ChOwn*.bat files & created links for easier usage
  12. JohnHC: No such line exists in my .vmx file, but then I'm running v1.0.5 rather than v2rc1 Added a note in the applications section that K-Lite Mega Codec pack 4.00 has a regression bug that breaks silent install, use v3.95 instead.
  13. July updates Deletions: Hotfix\290-WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB941644-x64-ENU.exe Hotfix\350-Windows-en-US-KB943729-x64_b9de932f286c62685fed238462a38d734b36ff18.exe Modifications: Move (& rename) RunOnce\WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB951376-x64-ENU.exe to Hotfix\415-WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB951376-x64-ENU.exe Delete the \DirectX_9c folder, instead place the unextracted redistributable at \RunOnce Moved Windows Defender to \AddOns (not in the same class as .Net et al) Additions (at \Hotfix): @ 430-Windows-en-US-KB943729.exe [890,936] Optional, Group Policy Preference Client Side Extensions, updated version @ 440-WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB951748-x64-ENU.exe [5,106,736] Important change at step 7 of the process, the RunOnce file should now be (no more "pause"): TimeOut /T 40 CMD /R %Source%Run1_XP-64.bat Application support (\AddOns): Added Opera Orbit Downloader Tweak UI x64 extracted (installed) if 7-zip present Modified Rewrote ChOwn*.bat files & created links for easier usage Do NOT extract VMware tools, just copy windows.iso to \AddOns (again needing 7-zip) Removed Azureus (they've blocked the silent install switch in the latest version) JohnHC: As I understand it VMware server does not emulate audio hardware, so I don't think any driver will help.
  14. From the archive, it's the 200+ MB file. In the version I've got, it's called "w2ksp51.exe"
  15. Seems I didn't get reply notification, oh well. Looking at the extracted files my method will work (under nLite %Source% is the install media, e.g D:\) rem compressor/decompressor utility msiexec /I %Source%AddOns\7z457.msi /Passive rem install & configure Open Office, requires 7-Zip for configuration options "%ProgramFiles%\7-Zip\7z" X %Source%AddOns\OOo_2.4.1_Win32Intel_install_wJRE_it.exe -O%Temp%\OpenOffice If exist %Temp%\OpenOffice\openofficeorg24.msi msiexec /I %Temp%\OpenOffice\openofficeorg24.msi ALLUSERS=1 SELECT_WORD=1 SELECT_EXCEL=1 SELECT_POWERPOINT=1 ADDLOCAL=ALL /Qr RmDir /S /Q %Temp%\OpenOffice In the Java <dir> there should either be "jre-6u6-windows-i586-p" or COPYRIGHT core1.zip core2.zip core3.zip extra.zip launcher.exe msvcr71.dll msvcrt.dll other.zip patchjre.exe RegUtils unicows.dll zipper.exe
  16. What about just using copy /n or xcopy /n to convert the filenames to 8.3 format?
  17. JohnHC: If you're running WPI, that will definitely cause a conflict with the shutdown command at the end of Run1_XP-64.bat. I'm going to assume that WPI is kicked off by GUI RunOnce, which is executed after the shutdown command is issued. One thing you could try is renaming WPI.hta to R2WPI.hta and add this to line to Run2_XP-64.bat [WPI\R2WPI.hta]. Obviously you'll have to activate the SchTasks line as indicated, be sure to move all security software (esp Comodo) installs after WPI. 5eraph: No offense taken, if your pack had existed before I wrote this guide, I probably wouldn't have bothered. Similarly when I wrote my guide for W2K, OnePiece's pack didn't exist either. At the time there was no real alternative option.
  18. I know you can only get a version with JRE bundled, but you haven't answered my question of what does it look like when extracted.
  19. What happens if you extract it? Under nLite I install 7-zip first then use the following code (%Source% is the install media, e.g D:\): rem install & configure Open Office, requires 7-Zip for configuration options "%ProgramFiles%\7-Zip\7z" X %Source%AddOns\OOo_2.4.1_Win32Intel_install_en-US.exe -O%Temp%\OpenOffice If exist %Temp%\OpenOffice\openofficeorg24.msi msiexec /I %Temp%\OpenOffice\openofficeorg24.msi ALLUSERS=1 SELECT_WORD=1 SELECT_EXCEL=1 SELECT_POWERPOINT=1 ADDLOCAL=ALL /Qr RmDir /S /Q %Temp%\OpenOffice If Not exist "%ProgramFiles%\7-Zip\7z.exe" %Source%AddOns\OOo_2.4.1_Win32Intel_install_en-US.exe /S If there are separate installers, you're right to go.
  20. Yes it is, you'll have to go with the HFslip option then
  21. SP5 is a service pack, so you add it at the service pack step. Are you sure you are using the correct source media for your key? Retail, OEM, Upgrade & Corp are all incompatible.
  22. If you are planning to install IE6, SP5 might be more useful.
  23. I've just done a quick test with the switches supplied, the -c, -m & -x switches seem to work as suggested, so you'd be looking at a section like this: rem firewall "%ProgramFiles%\7-Zip\7z" X %Source%AddOns\CFP_Setup_3.0.25.378_XP_Vista_x64.exe -O%Temp% %Temp%\CFP_Setup_3.0.25.378_XP_Vista_x64.exe -s Del %Temp%\CFP_Setup_3.0.25.378_XP_Vista_x64.exe "%ProgramFiles%\Comodo\Firewall\cfpconfg" -m -c%Source%AddOns\CFPsettings.cfg Mind you, I'd exercise extreme caution with this.
  24. JohnHC: Yes, as the main post has not been changed as yet. The alteration will occur with next month's updates.
