Well, IE slipstreaming is possible, but hard to make right. I think you should do 2 things: - copy all IE updated files into setup dir (i.e. mshtml*,browseui,browselc,shdoc401,sh401lc,shdoclc,shdocvw,urlmon,wininet,iexpore and some other files) - edit ie*.inf (search Unattended Windows, nLite and other forums for details on IE6->Win2000 slipstreaming) for correct version, new files and other info. That's advanced. As for DirectX it's much easier to do silent install (you can turn off Dx6 install and break install order to reduce setup time, but it's very advanced).
