Translation (By Babelfish):

Anything new going on here in the last few days? Seemed kinda quiet so I just thought I'd ask.

Cool. B)

But if he wanted to keep it a secret, I wouldn't see a problem with that. A guy with the kind of smarts he has should be able to have a few "trade secrets."

As I said before, when I tested it, the rollup still showed up on Windows Update even though it had already been integrated prior to install. So yeah there's something odd going on. Like MS messed up their own URP maybe?

I was close though...

Link? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am pretty sure he is talking about the Mindows Project, which started out as Minxp, but stemmed from a thread concerning the minimization of the System32 folder to a very small size. Link: Mindows Project

Well, thanks for making this thread. I had the same question as you, really.

OK so do we know which one is the real one yet?

Did you do it as a Service Pack or as a Hotfix? If I'm not mistaken nLite will do it either way.

We need an unofficial one because even with this new official rollup, Windows Update detects 11 Critical Updates and 4 Recommended Updates for Windows 2000. There are even more because after installing those and rebooting, it detects updates for those updates We also want to be able to slipstream things like Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1, DirectX 9.0, and a bunch of other stuff too. One way to do that is to "package" these components as "hotfixes" and then integrate them into an installation source tree. BTW I don't think Gurgelmeyer is claiming that Microsoft is the publisher of this Unofficial Rollup. He may be using a similar file-naming scheme, but it is definitely labelled URP (Unofficial Rollup Package)

The rollup is out here.

It's about time. Been waiting for weeks on end for this sucka.

What's next? Have you updated the download page yet? I don't want to waste any of your bandwidth downloading it if it's the same file as before. BTW good job on getting /integrate to work. Must've been one hell of a bit of work getting it set just right.

Sorry I had forgotten about that.

I know for a fact that with nLite, you can rename the Administrator account to whatever you want. Mine is labelled the same as my MSFN handle, slippykillsticks.

First of all, thanks again for your hard work. Second, you should definitely make BITS 2.0 available and /integratable, whether you include it in your URP or as a seperate option. I consider Messenger to be bloatware, as I'm sure many here do. It would be nifty if you could leave it as a standalone pack - i.e., do not include it in the option pack (or at least don't make it mandatory when installing or integrating the option pack. Third, how is the /integrate progress coming? Have you encountered any difficulties that we might be able to help you with? Again, thanks and keep up the good work!

Cool. Keep us posted

Hmm. I was under the impression Microsoft would be releasing URP today. Nothing yet. Hope they still do it today though.

If you need the time, take it.

Will we be able to slipstream it into a source share using /integrate?

Try running one of the files from a command line and use "/?" as a switch (without the quotes obviously). I think it give /passive, /quiet, and /norestart as some options that you might try. I've tried slipstreaming directly with /integrate:[sOURCE SHARE] to no avail. I think gurgelmeyer is working on a way to slipstreaming properly called NTGRATE. Good luck with your slipstream. You might want to also try out a reduction tool such as nLite.

We didn't mean to stress you out. We're just a bunch of goofballs trying to do something crazy with our computers. We know how it is though -- sometimes crap can just friggin' stress you out. Chill out for now and we'll catch you later. Thanks for your ideas and work though.

Hehe I just figured that out. Sorry about that. Now it is running lovely-ly. Nice work. (and a slick batch scripting job to boot)

Any idea when they will release it yet? BTW you are a genius. I read this thread from the beginning and the buildup to URP1 was so exciting I had to try very hard not to skip to page 14 immediately. Thanks for your hard work and keep it up!
