I stumbled too upon this: updates.cpl requires updates.cpi and if I rename updates.cpl into updates2.cpl then updates2.cpi is required. :-( solution could be: because every file in HFEXPERT should be an additional file (and no replace - for replace we use FIX) we can give makecab an ascending target filename as HFEXP1.tx_, HFEXP2.tx_ (to seperate 2 files like *.cpi and *.cpl) REM SPECIAL FOLDERS DIR WORK\I386E /A:D /B >HFFLD.TXT FOR /F %%I IN (HFFLD.TXT) DO ( REM PREPARE FOLDERS IF NOT EXIST IF NOT EXIST SOURCESS\I386\%%I MD SOURCESS\I386\%%I REM GET NAMES OF HOTFIXES IN DIRECTORY DIR WORK\I386E\%%I /A-D /B /ON >HFFILES.TXT FOR /F %%J IN (HFFILES.TXT) DO ( IF NOT EXIST SOURCE\I386\%%I\%%J MAKECAB /D CompressionMemory=21 /D CompressionType=LZX WORK\I386E\%%I\%%J /L SOURCESS\I386\%%I IF EXIST SOURCE\I386\%%I\%%J COPY WORK\I386E\%%I\%%J SOURCESS\I386\%%I ) ) should be changed into REM SPECIAL FOLDERS set /A PROBLEM=1 DIR WORK\I386E /A:D /B >HFFLD.TXT FOR /F %%I IN (HFFLD.TXT) DO ( REM PREPARE FOLDERS IF NOT EXIST IF NOT EXIST SOURCESS\I386\%%I MD SOURCESS\I386\%%I REM GET NAMES OF HOTFIXES IN DIRECTORY DIR WORK\I386E\%%I /A-D /B /ON >HFFILES.TXT FOR /F %%J IN (HFFILES.TXT) DO ( IF NOT EXIST SOURCE\I386\%%I\%%J ( IF NOT EXIST SOURCE\I386\%%I\%%~nJ.??_ MAKECAB /D CompressionMemory=21 /D CompressionType=LZX WORK\I386E\%%I\%%J /L SOURCESS\I386\%%I IF EXIST SOURCE\I386\%%I\%%~nJ.??_ MAKECAB /D CompressionMemory=21 /D CompressionType=LZX WORK\I386E\%%I\%%J HFEXP!PROBLEM!.tx_ /L SOURCESS\I386\%%I ) IF EXIST SOURCE\I386\%%I\%%J COPY WORK\I386E\%%I\%%J SOURCESS\I386\%%I set /A PROBLEM=!PROBLEM!+1 ) ) perhaps... but there is more to be done targetname should only adress hfexpert-files... don't know, if there are thousands of problems... updating the setup-files TXTSETUP.SIF DOSNET.INF and so on... ok, no solution - just a hind Better solution would be a special hfexpert.cab... I think after editing this post again and again

For hfslip_60307.cmd all is fine with HFDRV - folder. (example attached)HFDRV.zip the example includes only svga and mouse for vmware-machine... just for testing. editet as told in the former posts: display works fine, already while setup(gui). for the mouse setup selected the standard-ps/2-driver. vm-mouse was selectable as a new driver and works fine after restart... don't wait for an other hfslipversion for solving your problems, solve your problems: try one driver and then the next and then the next... expand all the files with an underline in your hfdrv - folder (use 7zip or expand) edit on august 2006: the HFDRV - folder is the same level as hfcabs, hf, source, ... and HFDRV.CAB is only build if you have *.inf in your hfdrv-folder

version 60307: copyjob succesful, no missing wu*.* - files ...

Bugs Bunny: thanx

tomcat76: "wua*.* not on slipstreamed disk" ???? Where do you see that error message? While setup makes the copy-job: blue background, white text, text only, and the filenames are shown bottom right - and changing... and the 4 wua-files are missing - on my iso-image....

while all localized updates are fine for geman windows 2000, WUA fails here to be slipstreamed: professional and advanced server - both complain about wua*.* not on slipstreamed disk...

to rename shell32.dll from winxp into shell32.icl for w2k is easy. could someone post an example REG for altering some icons in w2k? please.

http://www.vorck.com/2ksp5.html explains: for slipstreaming ie6sp1 and dx9 into w2k

tomcat76: you are right! 100%! I disabled all network cards and got no timeout - all is fine and beautiful.

Windows 2000 WMI-ADAP & Perfdisk ================================================= Fehlermeldung: WMI-ADAP konnte die Leistungsbibliothek "PerfDisk" aufgrund einer Zeitüberschreitung in Funktion "open" nicht verarbeiten. Lösung: EXCTRLST.ZIP von ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/reskit/win2000/ herunterladen und entpacken EXCTRLST.EXE starten perfdisk.dll markieren und den Haken bei "Performance Counters Enabled" entfernen. Nun meine Frage: Ist das ein Problem von hfslip oder weil meine Netzwerkkarten (WLAN und Kupfer) nicht benutzt werden? Hat noch jemand diesen Eintrag im Ereignisprotokoll? Ich glaube, bis diese Zeitüberschreitung abgelaufen ist, werden keine anderen Dienste gestartet - wie zum Beispiel Antivir, usb-Manager, und so weiter. Danke. ================================================= errormessage: WMI-ADAP could not parse library "PerfDisk" due to timeout in function "open". solution: download and extract EXCTRLST.ZIP from ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/reskit/win2000/ run EXCTRLST.EXE mark perfdisk.dll and uncheck "Performance Counters Enabled" Now my question: is that problem hfslip-only? or because of missing network-connections? (i have 2 real network-cards - unused and 2 virtual cards) anyone else with this problem? please check your log-files. I think due to timeout some other services (antivir, usb-manager) start delayed. Thanks.

my experiences: .NET was not installed properly via SVCPACK. I needed to install .NET via runonce during first logon of Administrator.

thanks

that's why i aked for 'useable files'. and for NTDETECT.COM and ntldr I know it. perhaps someone already tried mspaint.exe (for jpg-support) and can report success? thanks.

hello world. what useable files make sense? NTDETECT.COM ntldr any other proposals? thanks.

security by obscurity? i think w2k is better, because not so much automated and not making so much things i don't want to be done. main difference (in my mind): xp is much more colorful - w2k can handle nice skins only with aditional programs (windows blind, or look at the nice mediaplayer9 skins...) xp-explorer PRETENDS to react, after booting and before all services are loaded - while w2k-explorer shows you the hourglass - showing it is busy. xp has more and newer drivers build in - keywords are bluetooth and wlan - but you are also able to use these techniques with w2k w2k is windows nt 5.0 xp is windows nt 5.1 ... greets murvun

saugatak and tommyp: in line 298: IF EXIST FIX COPY /Y FIX\*.* SOURCESS\I386 the copy-command can't see the hidden files NTDETECT.COM and ntldr perhaps ATTRIB -S -H FIX\*.* might help?

ratba_tardly: use hfslip to slipstream something into the source. but if you talk about "reinstall without all the junk" you should perhaps look for nlite? you talk about one additional reinstall. try to imagine, how many installations tommyp and fdv made while developing hfslip. and try to imagine, how many installations everyone made while understanding and testing hfslip. regards murvun

Just tried the new version "HFSLIP_50921.cmd" and the new instructions on http://www.vorck.com . I slipstreamed a german w2k - advanced server - booting inside vm 4.5. No more questions. I'm happy. And my computer is happy. And WU is also happy. THANKS tommyp! THANKS fdv! PS: (had no other w2k here at work and vm 4.5 seems to be more stable on my laptop/notebook as 5.0). perhaps someone should point out, that halmacpi.dll is only a problem for multi-cores ore multi-boards.

windows 2000 advanced server incl. SP4: SYSOC.IN_ 1KB 19.06.2003 11:05 windows 2000 professional incl. SP2: SYSOC.IN_ 1KB 08.05.2001 13:00

baseline is fine, 61 realized updates against 3 missed updates: KB835732 (MS 04-11), KB891861 (perhaps because of WORK\I386E\halmacpi.dll and scsiport.sys), KB890830 (...removal tool). q1: should I apply KB835732? q2: is it possible to patch the sp4-files (halmacpi.dll and scsiport.sys) to stay happy (as before rollup) AND make wu happy (as after rollup)? thanks murvun

fdv: you asked kreative19 to remove some files from hf-folder. a few of these files are in my hf-folder too! (in german versions) sure to remove MDAC and scripten? (in a former version of your 2ksp5.html you had them in the hf-folder!) sure to remove LegitCheckControl.msi? (the last lines of step four from your actual 2ksp5.html made me to put it in hf-folder!) edit: thanks! for the answers! murvun PS: had to rename: scripten -> scriptde and GER_Q832483_MDAC_x86 -> DEU_Q832483_MDAC_x86

trying to find errors: my machine is xp pro sp2, but I'm trying to build a w2k cd (perhaps that's wrong?) 1. original german w2k pro incl. sp2 2. w2ksp4 integrated -> edit: vmware testing: reboot-problem 3. hfslip50821 -> errors.txt and standardout.txt (7ziped from 2mb to 100K) edit: vmware test obsolet difference between now and my former succesful vm-tests: 1. vm V4<->V5 2. nlite 0.99<->1.05/1.06 (as an ISO-builder) so forget about the 'boot-problem' nevertheless I keep the attachment as a result of an german hfslip-test bye bye output.7z

once again: no other infinite boot-loops here? is it a problem of vm, of german w2k or is my source corrupted? seems that <F8> and 'safe mode' (abgesicherter modus) helps, but why? thanks... edit: sorry for panic: same boot-problems also with naked w2k - sp4 without hfslip, so it is not a hfslip-problem!

in the readme now my question: where to put the .exe and .dll, which should installed by an .inf? also into SVPK_NO_SW folder? or in the FIX folder? (perhaps I can make my own copy-.inf and forget the $oem$ - tree.) if someone could help? thanks!

tomcat76: you don't have to waste tons of CD's for testing - just try inside a virtual machine (make the iso and mount this image inside the vm). they give you a time-limited test-version at vmware for your name, adress and so on. http://www.vmware.com/download/
