Hm.... seams like the email is cross wired.... I got email addressed to freeware@xpcreate.com form members of this forum sent to my email account. If you like GM I can forward the messages to you?

Q818043 in SVC-HF1 i suppose... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yup

Use this as a giude http://xpcreate.com/current.htm and create them manually or copy from the old one. you will also need the SVC-PRE folder (not listed) and add this update Q818043_W2K_SP5_x86 to your SVC-HF1 folder. see also: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=39202 and/or http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=39062 for more info.

1st I'd like to thank GreenMachine for all his hard work time and effort he put in to the new version of XPCREATE. 2nd Please don't send me private email about your problems and/or questions about the new XPCREATE please post them here so that the authour (GreenMachine) is aware of them this way he can make any necessary changes and help you get it working. ok now that is out of the way I did try it over the weekend...... test 1-win2000 - did not auto make the file folder so used the web site as a referance and created/copied the folders I needed. I did notice that SVC-PRE was not listed but I added it any way. - did 1st run all worked well but the hot fix Q818043_W2K_SP5_x86 was missing both problems are comfermed here - http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=39202 test 2-win2000 no problems to report I am still testing it with XPpro will report latter on that.

The new version will not be posted read....... http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=38898 for more info!!

read this: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=38898 it tells you what to do!

gee sorry GM I did not see your post at the top untill now (I did a refresh) now I feel like I got some egg on my face.

yup did not work there either. I'll add it to the other 2 that I run from runonce for now......... ......wonders off aimlessly to do some more reading...... edited

OPS sorry getting ahead of ya. I tried a run with IE6.0sp1-KB867282-Windows-2000-XP-x86 in SVC-HF1 but WU still asked for it and I did not get any errors on the install. I am going to try it in SVC-POS and get back to u.

Cool But I think you miss one... NDP1.1sp1-KB886903-X86.exe (aprox 1.5Meg) where does this one go?

OOPS sorry the calcplus was for xp not 2000. me goofed.

WOW u have been busy. I just run KB841356 & KB887797 from runonce for now. were would I put msxml3.msi ? also where could I put CalcPlus.msi ?

Looks like IE6.0sp1-KB889293-Windows-2000-XP-x86-ENU.exe would go in to SVC-HF1.

Cool..... but it did not work all it does is open the file. when i close it xpc then con't and skips over the d/l section. Oh well don't worry about it maybe greenmachine will add an option to the next ver of xpcreate so one can use a local list. (hint hint)

yup everything is ok there. It worked with the one d/l from the net but it will not run using the local list. -- 14:45:08 --> UPDATE.TXT/2KA/ENU/XPCTHLST.TXT i changed this to: DLURL=UPDATE.TXT so i can use the local list. is this wrong?

I would like to know if you get this error ? Found the solution by googling The procedure entry point DdEntry1 could not be located in the dynamic link library GDI32.dll. Extract d3d8thk.w2k from dxnt.cab and copy to %windir%\system32 Then delete d3d8thk.dll from the c:/winnt/system32 folder. Then rename the d3d8thk.w2k to d3d8thk.dll Developpers @ M$ are unable to write patching routines that works... Sorry I have been busy and not have been here much. I'll give it a try on next install and let u know. I thought I would try out the XPCTHLST.TXT list u made with my 2000server for yucks but I keep getting this error and I do have SP4 install already. -- 14:45:07 --> Looking for CD Source. -- 14:45:07 --> Found local Boot Image. -- 14:45:07 --> Setting up Run-Time Variables. -- 14:45:07 --> Listing Hotfixes and Updates. -- 14:45:08 --> Removing Previous Creation Directories. -- 14:45:08 --> Removing TEMP Files. -- 14:45:08 --> Creating TEMP directories. -- 14:45:08 --> Determine Source Version. -- 14:45:08 --> Found Source Version: 2KA -- 14:45:08 --> Found Minor Version: 0 -- 14:45:08 --> Found Service Pack Version: 4 -- 14:45:08 --> Found Language Version: ENU -- 14:45:08 --> Found Localization Version: English -- 14:45:08 --> Hotfix Directory used: SP5 -- 14:45:08 --> Downloading Hotfix List. -- 14:45:08 --> UPDATE.TXT/2KA/ENU/XPCTHLST.TXT -- 14:45:12 --> Source not up to date.

Each hotfix identified on WindowsUpdate will have a Details link for it. It will take you to the article that talks about the patch. You can download it from there. what about the driver updates. I tried this and it just takes me to some MS site not to the drivers. With SP1 the driver update were in the temp internet files (after they were d/led). I can not find them at all with SP2. Any ideas??

@Jito463 awesome it worked great with win2000 thanks

Are you kidding? Then everyone and their mother would be trying it, and reporting (USER) errors! In fact, there is no download for CABARC.EXE only, though it is included with many, many Microsoft kits (CABSDK, IEAK, WM Enterprise Deployment, etc.). I figure that those who do not have it probably are not worried about running this from SVCPACK.INF. Which brings me to your second point. Of course I did not post it until I tested it, and if it would not work in SVCPACK.INF, it is not for me! The reason one sometimes has trouble with MSIEXEC.EXE is not because MSIEXEC.EXE is not "found", but because the *.MSI file must have either the full path specification, or be in the current, working directory. In this case, it is in the current directory, in order to avoid the need for hardcoded paths. Note that MSIEXEC.EXE in NOT included in the final package. CABARC.EXE, on the other hand, IS. will this work with XPCREATE? also does this update still have to be installed after MP10?

Well the new updates proved to be a big headake for me as well. I tryied with them all on 1st test run and install locked up. On 2nd run I removed the odd ones and same result. So I tried out what GM was doing with the 841356 not in and used 873377 instead and it work great These are the updates that I used and there location: Windows2000-KB840987-x86-ENU.EXE - SVC-HF1 Windows2000-KB841533-x86-ENU.EXE - SVC-HF1 IE6.0sp1-KB873377-Windows-2000-XP-x86-ENU.exe - SVC-HF1 JournalViewer1.5_KB886179_ENU.exe - SVC-HF2 Q317244.exe - SVC-X2M (msxml update) After WU only reported 841356 to be needed. I am going to though it in now and try again. I'll post my results later. EDIT: Update.... Yup 841356 made the install die so I put it runonce for now untill someone has an answer.

So what other updates would this replace besides 834707? http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en @GM What is the newes XPCREATE? I have 19 SEP 2004. Your website still has the june version up.

Well I have done 5 installs of 2000 on 5 diff systems using the current hot fix list posted on your wed site all seems well but a glich and i am checking now to see if it is my fault or not. Also MS now has a new rootsupd.exe update as of tues for win2000.

@GM Hey sorry have been busy and just got here tonight and saw the NEW one I am making a 2000 cd right now and will install on my test machine. I'll let u know how it goes. Just can't wait to try it. EDIT: Looks good so far made ISO with no errors. Off to install it now.

1-what kind of mb is it 2-looks like one of the SATA the XPC has biult into. d/l XPCREATE and try making a auto install cd with your OS and your SATA drivers. I made one with win2000 and it work 1st time round. Read through this forum SATA has been talked about quite abit u should be able to find the info u need to do it.

@Bilou_Gateux Thanks for the info. I'll try removing Q832894.EXE and test it out. as for 814078 Jscript 5.6 i am aware of the problem, but i don't have the problem with my version so looking into it might prove difficult.
