  1. Thanks mate, does this still return the setup errors though as per OnePiece's regular IE8 addon? (see my first post)
  2. Quick update as I've been playing with this for the last month. I couldn't get 5eraph's cab working as it either kept showing in Add/Remove Apps or led to a buggy IE8 install that kept crashing. Tried tweaking the cab to no avail so I've reverted back to just integrating IE7 with all my drivers and this works fine with nLite. @fdv, thanks for the link, I've not yet been able to get to hfslip.org as the web site always seems to be down when I try
  3. @-X- The Web folders bug is where the icon is missing for offline content. @Sp0iLedBrAt Many thanks for the welcome and the link, that was a Greek version so I'll give it a miss but thanks for replying. @5eraph Many thanks for taking the time to create another package, I do appreciate it and will give it a whirl over this weekend and report back here
  4. I've been using nLite for the last few months and great as it is, it seems there's no "proper" IE8 slipstream upgrade for XP (32 bit). By proper, I mean one that is error free, doesn't have have the Web Folders bug, doesn't require additional registry "fixes", doesn't kill Windows Update, replaces existing IE6/7 files and doesn't come bundled with 101 hotfixes. There really doesn't appear to be a single IE8 addon I've found that just "works" and I've tried all of the following: Yumeyao's IE8 for XP Need to copy files back and forth for nLite install Includes hotfixes so not a clean install Requires additional addon to remove setup errors OnePiece's IE8 For XP Requires additional addon to remove setup errors Comes with all the hotfixes and updates so no clean install 5eraph's IE 8 Doesn't appear to be an XP 32 bit version of this WinAddons.com IE 8 This just slaps IE8 on as an upgrade during XP installation Shows in Control Panel No slipstream and doesn't replace files Sereby's IE8 Slipstream addon Comes with all the hotfixes and updates so no clean install Shows in Control panel for uninstallation Listed as "Sereby's Internet Explorer" instead of just plain old "Internet Explorer" This is by no means a rant or anything and respect to all you guys who go out of their way to make these wonderful addons. I totally understand MS screwed over XP owners by not making IE8 a proper slipstream. I tried making my own using OnePiece's Addon creator but get all of the errors above. Was just curious as to what the other options are (if any)? Otherwise, it's back to the clean IE7 slipstream for me that simply works by just adding the exe to the hotfixes section of nlite
