I don't mean this disrespectful but your instructions in places are very vague, it could save some people hours trawling through often redundant messages on the forum if you spent another 15 minutes elaborating the instructions. netfix was repackaged by someone on this forum to run silently, it adds the regs if you run it once in windows so why not in the install process?.The critical type hf1 updates are not altered in any way so how do I know if they have been run if there is no reg line added. Surely if they were run correctly they would add the regs themselves. The directx9c and mediaplayer9 files run in this way show up fine on windowsupdate. I think I will repack windows with the updates that seem to work well such as dx9c and mediaplayer etc, and wait for sp rollout1 which is due soon. Will save me a lot of trouble. thanks anyways.

Hi everyone May i just say excellent program TommyP, thanks for all your work using a win2000 pro cd with sp4 slipstreamed. I have so far managed to slipstream my cd to include directx9c, ie6.1 and the msxml and the mdac updates but I am having problems with certain updates and was hoping someone could help me as I seem to be trawling the forums round and round in circles for hours with no real success. I added all the windows hotfix updates I could find into the respective hf1 and hf2 folders but when I install it seems a lot of them do not install and need to be reinstalled. I also seem to have a problem with Cumulative Security Update for Outlook Express 6 SP1 (KB823353) which won't install from windows update it just keeps reappearing. Does anyone have a list with which files are needed and which aren't in order to be fully up to date at install? Do they have to be in any kind of order of install. Also I downloaded the latest silent install netfxsp11.exe .net install from this forum (forgotten who upped the file but thanks to him) that included the latest fixes. I added it to the exe folder but when I reinstall the update doesn't seem to install but when I run it after install it works perfectly. Should this file have gone in hf2 perhaps. How does the folders change how they are installed. does it change the order of install? Sorry if this seemed like a lot of questions for a newbie here but I wanted to give it all a good go and try and fix it myself using the forums before bothering you all. I hope you can help me. Also having trouble with the slipstreamed drivers but thats next on the list after I get the basic install fixed.
