Thanx! I never've thought about doing that! As GM said, "Boy, do I love simple solutions!"!!!!!

And also, the reason why I make a server at my computer for the dl for the list is because if you point it to a local place, meaning c:\xpcreate\xpp\jap\xpcthlst.txt or something like that, the xpcreate.cmd deletes the list. So, I made it to point it to my pc via the internet so that the xpcreate.cmd can't erase the list file.

Like the post Here you should make a backup everytime before running XPCREATE. That should be the easiest way and not editing any file like XPCREATE.CMD.

tlawlessrr, Why don't you rename the "unattend.txt" that you've made and rename it to "winnt.sif" and replace it with the one that is in the cd, if you haven't done it already. It should work fine.

Would you mind to translate this into English? Everyone who wishes to comment on it would like it in English as this forum is in English. Maybe if one has got an error in their language, one can QUOTE it and then QUOTE again the English translated one for incase something might be useful in ones's language.

TenaciousMetal, GreenMachine, Never new about looking inside the "C:\Windows\Windows Update.txt". I use Net Transport, which is a downloader. And when it tries to download the file, it asks for you if you want to download. At that screen, it shows you the direct address, in this case your(TenaciousMetal) "downloadlinkhere" stuff. Or, go to the download page inside microsoft and look inside the html source and copy and paste it to your Italian list. Example for Q322011, 1. Go to MS's site and search for "322011". 2. You get this download link -> http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...33-2C6466522E5C 3. For the above URL, look inside the html source and search for "322011". 4. You'll find the folowing. http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/2...SP2_x86_ITA.exe That's it! For the MD5 checksum, use the md5.exe (command line) provided inside XPCREATE or use winMd5Sum.exe (GUI). You can download this from http://www.download.com/ .

Virindi, I challanged the way that you have suggested to me but still getting the same errors. The way I did it was normally make the CD with the XPCREATE.CMD and expanded the xpcreate.iso and added the msgina.dl_, shell32.dl_, winlogon.dl_, shlwapi.dl_ from the sp1 and recreated the cd with the same parameters used within the xpcreate.cmd. Well, will try it again in a different way.

Look at this post for how to make your own web server for the list.

TenaciousMetal, I haven't checked out on your list if they were in the greenmachine's failsafe list or not but I haven't made it myself on creating the XPCREATE cd with only with the failsafe stuffs so I cannot say for sure but, when XPCREATE downloads the hotfixes or patches it downloads from the url stated in the XPCREATE.ini. If you can create a server for yourself inside your PC, rewrite the DLRUL= to your pc's address and follow directions that I wrote somewhere before this one.

TenaciousMetal, check out on the GM's XPCREATE:Homepage followed by the left link "Current Hotfixes ", and check out on the files that are marked as BOLD, but the list is updated back at May 13, 2004 so it's a little out of date . Then after if everything goes perfect, meaning XPCREATE ends without and error -and xpcreate.iso burned to cd and installs perfectly without errors, then you can perhapes make the list that is up to date. Since as I mentioned above, I get errors at the WinXP installation of the Japanese edition.

Forgot to mention one thing. Above was the one that I said before on this thread but it was just the matter that we only had to create our own server using the PC in front of us and put the "XPCTHLST.TXT" in the server. Meaning, 1. Create a web server using an easy to setup web server httpd. 2. In the root directory of the www or the web folder or what ever one calls, make another directory inside it named "XPP" for XP Pro(look inside XPCREATE.CMD for reference), and for mine create another directory named "JAP" for Japanese and inside the it the "XPCTHLST.TXT". 3. Change the DLURL= inside the XPCREATE.ini and direct it to your server.com or something. Mine states "DLURL=http://somename.dyndns.org/HFLISTS" For mine, its like "http://somename.dyndns.org/HFLISTS/XPP/JAP/XPCTHLST.TXT". By using this method, I guess there would be less work for the list master(Virindi), thus making virindi have time to have some tea instead of updating it frequently and also for us to know if the list will work or not faster!

http://www.jsiinc.com/SUBP/tip7600/rh7628.htm It is an interesting link and suggests incorrect versions of files being used, for whatever reason. As a test, did you slipstream service pack 1 into your source before running XPCreate? See if the problems continue. I have no way of getting a japanese version of XP Pro, so I cannot test various things here. Thank you Virindi for changing the list! When I do the XPC, I already have installed the SP1a so things should of worked fine but it concluded with lots of error messeges. But anyway, the versions other than the English Windows of any language is built upon the English version as I think, since M$ is English-ware so maybe for the XPCTHLST.TXT, we non-english windows users might have to install something else also, adding additional lines in the list. I'll keep up on trying to fix the prob. and post it again later for if things get worse or better!

Hello to GM and fellow forum viewers! I burned and tried to install the XPC CD but at the GUI t-39 point of the installation, it returned too many erros and at last refused to install. What could possibly go wrong? Is it due to the problem that it is in WinXP Pro is in Japanese? Well, some of the errors that it returned was, DialogTitle : winlogon.exe - Cannot find entry point. DialogMsg : Procedure entry point AssocIsDangerous could not be found from the dinamic link library SHLWAPI.dll. Another came the same dialog for imepadsv.exe. Another was, DialogTitle : RUNDLL DialogMsg : Read error for shell32. Cannot find the procedure needed. ... ... a few more comes in here. ... And the last and final was. DialogTitle : Critical Error DialogMsg : Could not initialize the network install componet. Native error code is 2. And after this, an error log comes up and I just have to see the computer reboot it self again to see the same problem over and over again. I hope I can get the English version of WinXP so that everything will go perfect w/out any problems. And also patches for the English version come out quicker than any other langs. too.

Changes needed for the Japanese localization to work. I. For the Japanese localization to work and not stop after the CD to HDD copy process. 1. Change the parameter inside the XPCREATE.CMD, line 563 through 589. 2. Change the line where it says, IF /I "%TESTLANG%"=="XXXXXX" SET WINLANG=JAP& GOTO GOTLANG to IF /I "%TESTLANG%"=="Japanese" SET WINLANG=JAP& GOTO GOTLANG Notice the change where the XXXXXX changes to Japanese. 3. If this still doesn't work, delete lines 563 throught 589 but leave the changed line IF /I "%TESTLANG%"=="Japanese" SET WINLANG=JAP& GOTO GOTLANG in place. I guess this will work for other languages of Windows XP where the language is not set correctly and stated as XXXXXX. II. Error inside the Japanese “XPCTHLST.TXT” list to be changed. 1. The "XPCTHLST.TXT" for the JAP(Japanese) version has an error on the MD5 checksum so please update it please. 2. Place needed for change ADD SVC-HF1\Q327979_WXP_SP2_x86_JPN.exe http://download.microsoft.com/download/whi...SP2_x86_JPN.exe 9553f337010c9233f19b71c8b3891ef2 to ADD SVC-HF1\Q327979_WXP_SP2_x86_JPN.exe http://download.microsoft.com/download/whi...SP2_x86_JPN.exe B4CDE15AE902AE55B0566D30E4431949 III. Error inside the XPCREATE process. 1. The entire process of the XPCREATE.CMD process goes on without an error except for one place. 2. The error that is displayed is an help dialog box for the “WindowsMedia9-KB837272-x86-JPN.exe”. 3. When I first created the Japanese “XPCTHLST.TXT”, I used the English version as the template so the DL file might be different from the English one. Well, for now, that's all I can contribute since I cannot update the server and I’ll comment it after I burn and install the created “XPCREATE.ISO” on some system later. Also, attached is the "XPCREATE.ENG.LOG" and "XPCREATE.JPN.LOG" log file and SVCPACK.INF. The original was in Japanese so I translated it to English lang.. I hope this helps for debugging or for something GM! XPCREATE.LOG.zip

Hello to GreenMachine and users in this thread, I recently made the "XPCTHLST.TXT" for the localized version of the Windows XP Pro. and tried the "XPCREATE.CMD" after "Virindi" has said that he has added it to the server. (Other Japanese Thread inside MSFN.org)But somehow it still doesn't work! Is there something that I've done wrong inside that thing that I localized? or is there something that you can "fix" inorder for the XPCREATE.CMD to work? If you need any Jap. lang. help, I'll do the translations so please have it to work please. Attached is the log file created when the XPCREATE.CMD stopped after just copying from the CD to HDD. And also, for the localized Japanese ver. of "XPCTHLST.txt", I left one MD5 checksum for a file so I fixed it. For the Q815062, there's only an English download for it so I guess the MS staff didn't localize it, so inside the "XPCTHLST.txt", the download link is still directed to the English one. XPCREATE.zip

Hello out there! I'm currently using Mr. GreenMachine's XPCREATE. Well, not actually using it since I've fallen into the same problem as "gravity" as the XPCREATE.CMD stops after it copies the contents of the CD to the HDD. As mentioned in this thread, GreenMachine hasn't made the Japanese download file so I made it myself using the English one as a template. The Japanese one should be attached if I did it right so if Mr. GreenMachine has time, I would like you to take a look at it as I only filled the blanks in it, and I don't know if all is right or not. For the MD5 stuff I used the "winMd5Sum.exe" where I got it from "www.download.com". I don't know if many people know about the XPCREATE in Japan but it's been picked up in some magazine a while back so I guess time will make it like as the program of the year! I guess.
