Yeah, Beta 2, which is the build you have, is a pretty buggy and slow version compared to the ones after it, and oddly, some of the builds before it. There are newer builds, but they are only available to subscribed beta testers. However, the release candidate (which will be publically available) will be released the first half of september, so my opinion is to wait it out and then install that, should end up being much faster.

honestly, the best thing for you to do would be to try out installing windows vista onto your system for a few days and seeing how it works for you. wait for RC1 as it is coming out soon, and it will give you a general idea of how windows vista will perform on your computer. i personally found that installing windows vista wasn't a big deal, until i went back to xp, which made a bigger impact on me. it's kind of like when xp came out and everyone was using 98; a lot of people were, ooo, a nice looking version of 98 that takes up more resources. but try using windows 98 after you've used xp for a long time, and you'll feel all dirty. (at least i do). vista won't improve the performance on the same hardware, and will probably decrease your productivity while you are learning it, but if you manage to adapt, it may increase ur productivity in the long run. for example, i've been finding the breadcrumb bar of windows explorer to be absolutely indispensible in vista, and curse that xp doesn't have that option, the same goes for the search on the start menu.

Hi everyone, been a long time lurker but never posted anything yet. I think i found one problem with RUN_ME.CMD. You have :PART_2_DELETE REM ###### METHOD 1 ###### REM ### Deletes the previously slipstreamed DriverPacks and the other files related to method 1, if they are there. ### %IE% $OEM$\$1\DP ( RD /S /Q $OEM$\$1\DP ECHO _ previously [method 1]-slipstreamed DiverPacks deleted... ) REM ###### METHOD 2 ###### REM ### Deletes the previously slipstreamed DriverPacks and the other files related to method 2, if they are there. ### %IE% OEM ( RD /S /Q OEM ROBOCOPY M%ME% "%CD%" *.* /E /MOV /NS /NC /NFL /NDL /NP /NJH /NJS ECHO _ previously [method 2]-slipstreamed DiverPacks deleted... ) RD /S /Q M%ME% As you can see, it only copies the OEM folder from the M2 folder if the OEM folder already exists. This should be: :PART_2_DELETE REM ###### METHOD 1 ###### REM ### Deletes the previously slipstreamed DriverPacks and the other files related to method 1, if they are there. ### %IE% $OEM$\$1\DP ( RD /S /Q $OEM$\$1\DP ECHO _ previously [method 1]-slipstreamed DiverPacks deleted... ) REM ###### METHOD 2 ###### REM ### Deletes the previously slipstreamed DriverPacks and the other files related to method 2, if they are there. ### %IE% OEM ( RD /S /Q OEM ECHO _ previously [method 2]-slipstreamed DiverPacks deleted... ) ROBOCOPY M%ME% "%CD%" *.* /E /MOV /NS /NC /NFL /NDL /NP /NJH /NJS RD /S /Q M%ME% at least this way it copies the OEM\Bin folder properly. I still get some errors, but i hadn't had a chance to test whether it works properly or not yet. Anyways, hopefully i was of some help.

bloody hell. oh well, that what i get for not reading all the posts exactly. i spent 2 hours figuring out that too!!

Hello. I think I may have found the answer to slipstream 6.0.2 into the 6.0.1 installer. First run the AdbeRdr602_distrib_enu.exe. go to the folder c:\windows\cache\adobe reader 6.0.2\enubig\ with dos command prompt. then run "msiexec /a "adobe reader 6.0.1.msi" TARGETDIR="c:\ar" TRANSFORMS="rdr602.mst" that should do it. when u run the install file in c:\ar it will be named adobe reader 6.0.1 and the setup will say it's installing that too. but when u start adobe reader, it'll show you what the real version is hope this helps, since i didn't see a solution for this problem here yet
