[CD Key issue with a XP SP3 build]

There are different pidgen.dlls for different XP SKUs. In the i386\ip subfolder of the extracted SP3 is a pidgen.dll for XP Professional. In the i386\ic subfolder is the pidgen.dll for XP Home. p means Professional and c means Consumer aka Home Edition.

If you change it to the right one there should be no problem. Maybe the pid.inf has also to be replaced?

Nlite works great on Win Vista and 7 - no need for compatibility mode. I just use an xpsp3 source and everythings fine.

[driver.cab error]

The source files in XP folder should be checked first. Open the driver.cab and/or sp3.cab in your XP source folder with WinRAR and press [ALT]+[T] for testing the cab archive. I guess your cab files are corrupted...

[Only 2 Updates found after slipstream SP3 RTM...]

Besides that WU/MU is not ready for SP3 yet there are also no updates for XPSP3 available atm - except the timezone fix KB942763.

MS is going to re-release a bunch of fixes when SP3 gets officially available, e.g. most the IE7 Updates. As you can see in KB942763 when extracted, there has to be an SP3GDR and SP3QFE folder inside.

[nLite 1.4.9.1 - Honey Turbo 9.1]

I have XP french version on my new Toshiba Satellite Pro A200, and want the english xp. Do any of you have experience using nlite to install a new version of xp english overtop of a french version of xp? The laptop came with a cd for xp, vista and bios. I tried and now at boot up am given the choice to install xp (new english) or start up xp (existing french). When I choose the install option i got the error, hard disk not found.

You need to integrate SATA drivers for your notebooks chipset.

[Official MS link for 5508 XP sp3]

Here is the link for the german users build 5508 -> windowsxp-kb936929-sp3-x86-deu_bff98b4e9afe67c6b150e8ee3f7073d2c88aa971.exe

[nLite 1.4.9.1 - Honey Turbo 9.1]

Hi

I can confirm this. Integrated b5508 into RTM source applied some tweaks, removed components and changed "WINDOWS" to"WINXP" - but it was still WINDOWS.

Changing the "Documents and Settings" path to "Docs" went fine.

Moreover most tweaks did not work...e.g. show known file extensions.

Integrated IE7 and it works but the quicklauch icon of IE and the show desktop is gone, this is the first time since many installs.

setuperr.log is empty, this was the ini -> LETZTE_SESSION.INI

[nLite 1.4(.1) - - ->]

A few editions of nLite ago I could set the maximum for System Restore to 5%,

or any other percentage under 10. Of course I can correct this after installing,

for every partition separately. Now the preset is of no use to me.

You can edit this manually before creating ISO in winnt.sif in this part :

[SystemRestore]
MaximumDataStorePercentOfDisk=3
RestorePointLife=7

But nuhi was talking about any bug of this ...

After integration of SP2 in windows XP the file Win51ic.sp1 is not deleted.

The files sp1.cab and sp1.cat are also not deleted, but all files are already

replaced with the files in sp2.cab.

That's right but this isn't done by manually slipstreaming SP2 too - that's why I prefer to use a clean XP Pro rtm/sp0 here for slipping ANY SP!

But you can use "merge cabs" (??? usually I see it in german ) in Options page of nLite to merge driver.cab and any other spX.cab in one file.

I dunno what happens to the spX.cat file and the win51ix.spX tag file - maby this is a hint for nuhis todo list?

But it's his decision.

kindly reminding for examing/todo list : Server 2003x64 sp2 ger + IE7x64 ger problem

[nLite 1.4(.1) - - ->]

I tried to integrate IE7-WindowsServer2003-x64-deu in Windows Server 2003_x64 SP2 DEU with nLite and I get the message "This hotfix isn't made for this Windows Version!"

Integrating IE7 en-us in Server 2003 x64 sp2 en-us works.

Maybe you can fix this in next version, nuhi?

[XP SP3 Intergration]

You can't simply install KB888111 on sp3 - thats the problem here. So I suggest integrating as driver.

[XP SP3 Intergration]

Maybe you should try to extract KB888111_sp2 and integrate the files as drivers.

The extractes files are :

/commonfiles
			/hdaprop.dll
			/hdashcut.exe
			/hdaudbus.inf
			/hdaudbus.sys
			/hdaudio.inf
			/hdaudio.sys
			/hdaudres.dll
/update
	   /eula.txt
	   /kb888111wxpsp2.cat
	   /kb888111wxpsp2.log
	   /spcustom.dll
	   /spmsg.dll
	   /update.exe
	   /update.inf
	   /update.ver
	   /updspapi.dll
/winxp
	  /portcls.sys
empty.cat
sprecovr.exe
spuninst.exe
spupdsvc.exe

for XP sort these files out in one directory :

 hdaprop.dll
hdashcut.exe
hdaudbus.inf
hdaudbus.sys
hdaudio.inf
hdaudio.sys
hdaudres.dll
kb888111wxpsp2.cat
portcls.sys

In case of portcls.sys there's a newer one in sp3 an maybe you must replace it with the one in sp3. Can't test here.

Then integrate thie folder or the inf with nlite. UAA drivers should work then.

[Dell OEM XP Installation Disks and nlite]

Suggestion : Try it!

Comment : It will work fine.

One of my base XPs is also a Dell OEM Pro SP2.

[NLite Tweaks/Remove Components broken - SP3 v3264]

Maybe you missunterstand me

I kow you can not fix this over night.

I just wanted to know where in the setup.log or setuperr.log you see that the security center causes the problem? You see what I mean?

[NLite Tweaks/Remove Components broken - SP3 v3264]

Hmm in setuperr.log there was only the usernv.dll thing.

Should be something in setup.log too?

[NLite Tweaks/Remove Components broken - SP3 v3264]

Wow seems to work flawless now. So just removing Security Center does break XPSP3 rc install?

Where and in what errorlog did you see this?

[NLite Tweaks/Remove Components broken - SP3 v3264]

I also have some problems since this 3264 build.

I'm slipping WMP11 and IE7 into it and on 3244 it was working fine. Mainly the tweaks are broken and many of my Inf addons are not working. The files get copied over but dlls are not registered and no shortcuts created. Weird

This is the INI I uesd with success on 3244 and now isn't working ->LETZTE_SESSION.INI

In setuperr.log there's only

Fehler:
Setup konnte das OLE-Steuerelement C:\WINDOWS\system32\userenv.dll aufgrund folgenden Fehlers nicht registrieren:
DllInstall hat den Fehler 2147746132 (80040154) zurückgegeben.

and in setup.log are some missing files of course and e.g. :

externel Program rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection nLite.inf,U returned Code 0

[nLite 1.4(.1) - - ->]

I just figured out that WindowsUpdateAgent3.0_7.0.6000.381 still is not supported for direct integration - okay, but then it isn't even integrated in svcpack.

Never thought about it coz I'm using the HotfixPack with WUAgent in it.

What do you mean? I am installing the WUA via SvcPack without problems. Or at least that's what I thought. Where did you see it doesn't install in your case?

And about direct integration. Are you sure that should be possible? AFAIK this installer doesn't support the /Integrate option.

When u manually add it to svcpack.inf that should be possible but I tried some installs and it did not work.

It does support /wuforce /quiet /norestart in running OS but doesn't work in svcpack.

Direct integration support does not depend on /integrate switch. It's on nuhi if he supports direct integration or not.

I am using (and building) the german-nlite hotfix-pack and herein are the newest WUA files so it is no problem for me but maybe others like to integrate it directly w/o hotfixpacks.

[nLite 1.4(.1) - - ->]

Great job like always! Had not much time to test this one...

Is this Bug also fixed ?

Issue #1: Flash Player registration

Problem: Flash player is not registered.

Cause: nLite does not update existing txtsetup.sif entries with the new entries specified by the update addon.

Solution: After nLite integration, but before the creation of the CD image, you must manually edit "txtsetup.sif" in the I386 directory: search for and change "Flash9c" to "Flash9d" and "FlashUtil9c" to "FlashUtil9d".

This could easily be fixed by Ryan himself. In german HotfixPack this is no problem : Just delete the txtsetup.sif entry and write a new.

I just figured out that WindowsUpdateAgent3.0_7.0.6000.381 still is not supported for direct integration - okay, but then it isn't even integrated in svcpack.

Never thought about it coz I'm using the HotfixPack with WUAgent in it.

[nLite 1.4 RC2 - Rain Ultra]

For testing current SP3 beta build without your connect key you have to replace the SP3 pidgen.dll with the one out of SP2.

What about the sys restore bug ... I'm running on an nlite 1.3 build of XP SP2 and set it to 5% - this was set correct during install.

Did this problem came up with 1.4?

You should have found this using the forum search... Unattended Guide

You can e.g. easily take the reg file and make an winrar sfx archive of it. Just type this in Winrar "execute after extract" ( or similar - I use german UI ) to import the file silently at the stage of install you prefer ( svcpack.inf, guirunone ...) :

regedit /s yourregfile.reg

[Making fully updated Windows XP CD [Guide of some sort]]

Okay, no problem.

There's another one for IE7 you should include in your list :

• KB904942 - Authentication fails when you use Outlook or Outlook Express to try to log on to a HTTP-based mail server if you use IE7
  

It's an optional not security related update - but you get it on Windows/Microsoft Update.

[Making fully updated Windows XP CD [Guide of some sort]]

Sorry, you don't need to share my opinion...

Main intention for my post was to tell you about the superseeded IE7 hotfix.

You now ignore it coz you don't like my opinion? Fact is : KB933566 is obsolete cause KB937143 is cumulative.

[Making fully updated Windows XP CD [Guide of some sort]]

And by the way the KB937143 is cumulativ - means KB933566 is obsolete.

And MSRT ... hell, thats crap! Especially within a clean install.

It has nothing to do with nlites' driver integration. Afaik it's a hotfix that causes this. When I left out all post SP2 hotfixes and integrate drivers, IE7 and WMP11 all is fine.

I had no time to check out what hotfix it is.
