I've been trying to integrate. This is what I've found so far, hope it helps. SP3 has upates for the core files of MCE, but doesn't update them for some reason during integration. Extract CD1 to folder [CD1] Copy CMPNENTS folder from cd2 to cd1 folder Integrate SP3 Extract sp3.exe [sP3] Go to extracted SP3 folder SP3\i386\root\cmpnents\mediactr\i386 Expand all the xx.XX_ files then delete them, leaving only expanded files and the .cab and .exe file/files Go to CMPNENTS\MEDIACTR\I386 in CD1 folder Extract the MEDIACTR.CAB then delete cab Copy the expanded files from SP3 folder to \CMPNENTS\MEDIACTR\I386 overwriting files when needed Now select all files and remake the MEDIACTR.CAB and delete expanded files once cab file made Make ISO Installs without errors, the setuperr log will be clean and all the core files will be 5512. WIll be WMP 2002 SP3 [files in c:\WINDOWS\ehome folder will be 5.1.2600.5512] WMP11 won't install, but WMP10 will. Try any of the rollup patches and will say need Wrong Version need MCE 2005. Been able to integrate WMP11 with KB941569 And IE7 with KB947864 also Worried if updates will be offered later when done this way. Only tested in Virtual.

HAve you tried integarting SP2 into original? Would only cost you a little time and a disc if it doesn't. Extract 2k3 disc to C:\CRMEOEM_EN put SP2 on c drive and rename SP2.exe Run command C:\sp2.exe /integrate:C:\CRMEOEM_EN When done integrating make new ISO and burn to disc. See if hardware seen. New drivers might have been added with SP2

Thank You

Very usefull information. Thanks. My question is how to install to %systemDrive% ? Right now my line is REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\PowerTools\jv16pt_setup.exe /VERYSILENT /SP- /DIR=c:\UTILITIES\PowerTools" /f I would like REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\PowerTools\jv16pt_setup.exe /VERYSILENT /SP- /DIR=%systemdrive%:\UTILITIES\PowerTools" /f What am I forgetting? This is all new to me, and a little mind boggling. Thanks again
