March updates: New version of the DirectX redistributable (Mar 08), extract it to \DirectX_9c [67,196,968] Direct link to .exe MD5: E1E85376D4F03072B99FF0E9ED5DDE36 SHA1: 21AA91CA8E0CBB5FBB986F47A1CCDAD5D2984CAE No other hotfix changes (so no change in the torent or 7-zip package either). Added support for a few more applications and latest codec pack versions: CDBurnerXP Picasa K-Lite Mega Codec Pack QuickTime Alternative lite See here if you want to create your own config files K-Lite Codec Pack 64-bit Requires C++ runtime Orbit Downloader Johnhc: There doesn't seem to be an easy way to place files into "My Documents" of a created user. As I suspected if you create the folder and copy the files there prior to account initialization, Windows decides that the directory structure belongs to a deleted account and creates a new user account directory structure with a modified name. You might be able to do it if you log into the desired account on first boot (when .Net et al is installed) rather than the administrator account (would obviously have to be administrator class) and then copy the files (probably safest to do on 2nd pass). I didn't include information on component removals for a couple of reasons, firstly it's not the objective of this topic, secondly I couldn't reliably test all possible combinations and points of failure.

1. Run1_W2Ksp5.bat is from my similar guide for Windows 2000, but I see that in a moment of absent-mindedness I've used that name instead of Run1_XP-64.bat 2. The batch files are written so that if an optional application is not found at \AddOns, they will display "The command ***.exe does not refer to ..." (i.e. file not found) and skip on to the next command. Note that as %Source% returns a blank string if not set, one can block copy sections from Run1_XP-64.bat to Run2_XP-64.bat if so desired. 3. To include a .reg file use a command like that for Key.AnyDVD [if exist %Source%AddOns\Key.AnyDVD Regedit /S %Source%AddOns\Key.AnyDVD], replacing Key.AnyDVD with MySetting.reg. The "If exist %Source%AddOns\Key.AnyDVD" part of the command is not really necessary, but if you execute "Regedit /S %Source%AddOns\Key.AnyDVD" and the reg file isn't found the installation will halt with an error message. 4. I'm not really sure about this one, you could certainly put it in the shared documents. But as the account settings for new accounts are not actually created until that new account is logged into, I'm not sure if it will work (I'll test if I remember tomorrow). 5. Comodo is a good firewall (Defense+ annoying as all hell though), but the silent install switch "-s" doesn't work (crashes the installer). Avast will be active on user logon if the installer is placed at \AddOns. 6. There is no problem as far as I know with Shockwave, it's just that I don't use it. Some things just don't work, for example Opera will install with the switches "/S /V/Passive" but doesn't create a start menu icon. I've tried to include a selection of common software that will produce a system that is pretty much ready to go "out of the box". In general I prefer to use .msi installers, but only because there are generally more options and they are easier to understand, for a good example take a look at the .exe and .msi installers for Open Office. For switches search the Application installs forum here at MSFN, extract some of the addons created by others and read the entries file (Rado354's are good for this), read the originating website for that software, google it [software.exe "Silent Install"] and if all else fails, trial and error. If you read through Run1_XP-64.bat, you will see that there are several common sets of silent install switches. 7. In most cases there is no need for a second pass. But if for example you had some software that needed say .Net already installed before it could be installed, then that application would have to be installed in a second pass. 8. As the repair option appears in the textmode section of installation (before it goes into fully automatic mode), it should be available.

There are (to the best of my knowledge) no Microsoft updates that start with such a number, the names displayed in the download list are the result of commands like the following: Rename ..\Hotfix\WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB*-x64-ENU.exe xxx-WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB*-x64-ENU.exe Files in the .7z archive and the torr-ent <<[and how can that be flagged as a swear word?] have already been renamed, running UpdatePrep.bat will rename any you downloaded. The only purpose of the leading number is to ensure that they are integrated in the same order that Windows Update would install them and even of those, only having IE7 first seems to be absolutely critical. The update list in the first post is current for the month mentioned (currently Feb 07).

I get this error when creating a limited account in Windows XP Pro x64 edition. Tweaked WMP11 under v0.991 with the following hotfixes: WindowsMedia11-KB929399-v2-x64-INTL.exe WindowsMedia11-KB936782-x64-ENU.exe WindowsMedia11-KB939683-x64-ENU.exe WindowsMedia11-KB941569-x64-ENU.exe EDIT: It appears to be a regression bug, I dropped everyone's favorite hotfix (KB941569) and tried again but the error still occurs. The problem did not exist with version 0.96 of the slipstreamer.

Read this topic for full details. Especially note that you should use silent installers rather than AddOns.

Read this topic for links to service pack 5 for Windows 2000.

You might be able to put the drives into standard IDE mode in BIOS. Other than that you could try nLite (elsewhere on these forums) and integrate the correct drivers.

That definitely won't work, you have to be running a x64 version of Windows.

It integrates just fine for me. Did you run nLite as an Administrator? Have you tried disabling your anti-virus? Hint: Session file always helpful
