Hello, I am trying to create a slipstream of xp/sp2 manually, following the 'unattended setup' directions on this site. I have managed to update sp2 into xp okay, but trying to integrate ie7 or any hotfix gives me some obstacles. When trying to do run: c:\<hotfix name.exe> /integrate:C:\xpcd the hotfix starts to integrate but then a page comes up showing a list of available 'switches' for the integrate command. When trying to run the 'batch file' method, placing the .bat file in the same folder as a hotfix, it gives the error:'command line syntax error. type command/? for help'. I am at my wits end trying to search for a solution. I know it can be done as the instructions describe. Grateful for your directions now
