Make sure SR-1 is slipstreamed first, its required before installing SP2 or SP3. They did it slightly differently back then.

Can't help with the framedyn.dl_ problem, but this was common from improper use of jdeboeck's batch files to slim down the size. I noticed some errors in your svcpack.inf file: start /wait mdac.cmd <-- start /wait isn't necessary q826939.exe /Q /C:"datahotfix /Q /O /N /Z" <-- not the MDAC hotfix. It should be just q826939.exe /Q /O /N /Z KB826939.cat <-- isn't needed if you're not slipstreaming the update rollup.

No timing convention, the 4 number gaps between each entry allows you to add an entry at a later date if needed. Useful if you want to maintain an alphabetical list.

There was an issue with earlier Virtual PC versions that caused the keyboard to disappear, make sure you're on at least Connectix Virtual PC 5.1/5.2 or Microsoft Virtual PC.

I'll have to think about it. The XP Security Pack 2.001 will be outdated soon, and I'm not sure how the updates are packaged on the Windows Security Update CD which I will have to check later. The thing is, if I told users on the site to get the hotfixes from those two alternatives instead, they will come back to complain there's still updates on WU. Doing a clean install and checking WU for the latest updates, OR this list will make sure they have the latest.

This is because geocities doesn't allow images to be remotely loaded. What you saw was from the cache.

Keyser Soze's XP Security Pack 2.001 may be more suited to your needs, its a bundle of essential security fixes in one package. Or you can order the free Windows Security Update CD.

Because you have RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\Install\ before the shutdown command, it deletes the install directory, thus killing the batch file thats in there. Its more wise to have the RD command last, and place shutdown somewhere above it.

Try adding OEaccess=off and IEaccess=off under [Components] in winnt.sif to remove the shortcuts to them.

Depending on how and when you rename your account, you'd only need to add the renamed username in the registry entry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "DefaultUserName"="InsertUserName" "DefaultPassword"="InsertPassword" "AutoAdminLogon"="1"

Maybe it was too big and went against the signature rules?

You can rename it to winnt.sif then put it in the I386 folder of the CD. Use CDImage to create a bootable ISO image then burn with Nero using "Burn Image"

Localised updates, as in your own language. English versions of the updates probably don't work on your native language of Office 2003. (judging by your flag) Edit: Make sure you have the Administrative version of SP3, its around 58 MB. And then double check your syntax.

don't see why not, check that all your tweaks have applied. Next time, attach the reg file instead of pasting it all, its broken.

Use: [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 Language=00000809 with nothing else. SystemLocale, UserLocale etc, will be set to UK English as default with just those 2 in [RegionalSettings]

Its more likely a bad burn, how did you create the ISO or burn the files?

You didn't have to run Windows XP Setup to test the extraction, that's a waste of time. Running it from Command Prompt on a Windows system is a good way to test it.

Do you have localised versions of the office updates?

When creating the MST file, it has the option to insert a serial number in one of the steps.

Make a seperate thread, also read the guides at http://unattended.msfn.org it answers just about all your questions

lol trev, do you know what this forum is for?

Yes, adjust your screen resolution in winnt.sif to make it bigger, or you can compact your RunOnceEx entries.
