Thank you Rick, this is a big help. I will try this command out in MDT.

The linked download is dead. Appears the domain is no longer registered :\

It is a download from Microsoft. Actually, with a Microsoft mouse plugged in, the installer will also popup from Windows Update (which is very annoying). Though, you can't find the download in the windows update catalog I am basically trying to install it before Windows update has a chance to try (which will popup an install dialog and wait). The file comes as a setup.exe which doesn't appear to have any switches at all. I can extract the setup.exe to get to the MSI file. The MSI only installs if it is modified to remove a property that says it can only be run from setup.exe. Also canot find any documentation from Microsoft on it. I guess another solution would be to block the update from Windows updates. Any idea on how to exclude it before Windows update runs?

I am trying to install IntelliPoint 8.2 in my unattended install. It always seems to prompt me (from Windows update) even if I do the unattended install of the MSI. I have been trying to directions from here: http://www.appdeploy.com/packages/detail.asp?id=215 I also modified the MSI using WinINSTALL to remove the restriction of installing from setup.exe. But I still always get the prompt which locks my script up until I click next. Anyone know of a proper way to silently install IntelliPoint 8.2?

My goal is (if possible) get a slimmed down version of Windows 2008 that may fit on regular 750MB CD instead foa DVD. The CD I have from Microsoft Licensing is for Standard, Enterprise, and Datacenter editions. Wondering what can be removed to save space and build only for Standard?

Thanks for the info. I think I will try both and see what works well. Shouldn't there be a variable for the files that are located on the drive that are copied by the textmode install? Seems like this would save a lot of time.

I was just about to make a post on a similar topic. I am looking to basically get the i386 folder that is copied over to stay there or to move it to a new location instead of the setup removing all the files. Have you tried 7yler code above? I was thinking about trying it out using RunOnceEx at the t - 13 stage. At this stage, is SourcePath on the HD so the script is essentially copying from a folder on the HD back to the HD? If so I think this may still be faster than from the CD and is worth a shot. I currently copy from the CD using cmdlines.txt after all the updates are done and it is slooooow.

Some interesting additional information. Recently there were 3 more updates for XP/2K/2K3. One of which was KB943485 which was a fix for lsass (which was throwing the initial error when trying to integrate the KB942615 patch). After I integrated KB943485 I decided to try KB942615 integration again for kicks and giggles. This time it works and integrates and windows setup does not throw any errors about lsass and completed fine. However KB942615 still shows as not installed and is trying to be updated by windows update. I am going to play with it a little more as it seems like KB943485 allows KB942615 to be integrated now with no problems and maybe it's just an incorrect order now?

Yep, it is for Windows XP only. It would not let me integrate it into the Windoes 2003 distribution. Hopefully someone else will know a workaround.

Very interesting. So if I am reading that correctly I should add KB946627 in line with KB942615 in my svcpack.ini method (using integrate switches)? Or should I replace it with KB946627? I will test this out next week when I work on my slipstreamed win2k3 install more. Thanks!

I am trying to integrate KB942615 using the /integrate switch (building my slipstreamed CD by hand) and am coming across the issue found in this thread: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=88472 I have determined it to be after I integrate KB942615 that the issue happens (finally found after countless days of starting from scratch). Is there a workaround to integrate KB942615 without having to use nLite or HFSLIP? Anything other than the /integrate switch I can use? I am using Windows 2003 Standard and all other updates integrate flawless and this is the only one showing under Windows Update when I am finished. Not sure where I can throw this in to be slipstreamed without killing the installer with the lsass problem

I know this is an older thread. But I noticed the same issue. My question is, what is HFSLIP doing differently than the /integrate switch is? I'm trying to build my CD without having to use these special tools. I am following just the normal deploy.chm help file.

Did you ever find a solution to integrating KB936181? I have the same issue on the 2 msxml updates for Windows Server 2003. Not quite sure the correct switches to integrate (if it's even possible).

I know this is a little old. But I am still looking for original Windows Server 2003 logos from Microsoft (there are a couple colored and one grayscale one I remember seeing that I am interested in). Are these public material or do I need to be a special subscriber (such as MSDN)? Anyone know?

See his signature or simply click here Thanks. I don't see any signature on his post... Maybe my settings are not correct? Hmm..
