Hi GreenMachine, I've just tested "2KCREATE" with the german hotfix list. Everything runs fine except that KB837272 was reported as missing by Windows-Update. I test XPCREATE in VMware with fresh installation of XP and everything is ok. But on real machines with some other software, like Office, Corel... installed I get the following error message: IExpress Wizard Unable to open Report file ‚E:\xpcreate\TEMP\SVC-PRE\~dotnetfx.RPT’. And similar messages while processing the SVC-HF2 hotfixes (I think it was HF2, must try it again). What goes wrong? Greetings Ice M.
