I'm trying to create a norwegian XPCTHLST.TXT, but I'm getting sorta confused.. So I've extracted a frew windowsupdate.log's from some of the computers in my network, running XP nor sp1a. I checked out the 'what goes where' section, but that didn't really help much (sorry GM ) What identifyes the files as type 1 hotfixes, versus type 2? how 'bout switchless? is there a list somewhere explaining this? btw: is there a sample XPCTHLST.TXT somewhere? Anyways; this is the hotfixes DL by a complete windows update of a sp1a norwegian installation: http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...cb5d6d8d879.exe http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...A0BC7D1F779.exe http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...01d4e5108a5.exe http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...897d5a85f05.exe http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...369977DB4D2.EXE http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...4c45824754f.EXE http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...7e3fb77355d.EXE http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...12946AB5078.EXE http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...C917D5C1AFE.EXE http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...954efe9155c.exe http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...3498d0cf0d2.exe http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...6852ABCFD0A.EXE http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...01F729B002D.EXE http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...1c9ac7a8f89.exe http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...08fc69a35b9.exe http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...5e524881783.exe http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...1d3b006b6f4.exe http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...0c3397d4342.exe http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...f24b6b7b474.exe http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...145c216435e.exe http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...680f95d80ec.exe http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...29f89adb2a6.EXE http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...1ae0e6f461c.exe http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...5e04205af91.exe http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...d6d008a9044.EXE http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...0ba9c366cc0.EXE http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...580d5237d49.exe http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...34599187567.EXE http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...2a0b6336402.EXE http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...9ba532b1c9f.EXE http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...6ed070dd04e.EXE http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...3b04eb6e4d6.EXE http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...75daa77af27.exe http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...66c89b2cfb2.exe http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...860238df4be.EXE http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...664f8fd7602.exe http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...4f2fe6c568a.exe http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...CEF570582D6.EXE http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdo...ool/1051376.cab http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdo...pool/869772.cab http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...97c03deb013.exe http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...539a231a426.exe http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...d22d8adbe85.exe http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...77D9070B283.EXE http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...5e524881783.exe http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...1e9c4d17a86.exe http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...91c4101ebf4.exe

I'm predating you!!! w00t ;P oh, and thnx for the warm welcome

I noticed how noone have reported the contents of the norwegian prodspec.ini file, so here goes: ; ;Merknad til bruker: IKKE SLETT ELLER ENDRE DENNE FILEN. ; [SMS Inventory Identification] Version=1.0 [Product Specification] Product=Windows XP Professional Version=5.0 Localization=English ServicePackNumber=0 BitVersion=40 [Version] DriverVer=07/01/2001,5.1.2600.0 Now this seems a bit weird, doesn't it? The warning message is localized to norwegian, but the "Localization" string isnt? no wonder it assumes it's english? This file is from a Norwegian install disk that came with sp1a slipstreamed from microsoft. does any of this make sense? oh, and in case anyone was wondering, yes: it *is* a norwegian cd. just installed it at another comuter...

First off, GM: truely great work! batching such a complex tast as this - wow. I've been trying to use XPcreate to make a updated Norwegian installation/Unattend cd, and have run into some problems. See, XPc copies all the files correctly from the cd and into it's temp dir's. Then it attempts to identify the language, and says "found language: ENU" and "Found Localization Version: English". Now this would be grat, if I was making a english image (whitch XPc does excellently). Is there any info I could gather from the medias, to try help resolve this issues?
