A quick note to anyone using this guide who is also running Avast Anti-Virus.

Do NOT "upgrade" to the latest version (7.0.1473), stay with 7.0.1466 for now.

Agreed. Fails on upgrade (hangs after reboot). Fails on fresh install (miscellaneous hangs when accessing various OS functions, and will not shutdown or reboot).

The only way to recover is to boot into safe mode by pressing F8, then use System Restore to get back to a point before installing build 1473.

avast! v7.0.1474 corrects the XPx64 issue. Program update from 7.0.1466 to 7.0.1474 tested and working here.

Other changes:

Latest versions of Google Earth and Chrome don't work in my test VM, I've provided a link to the previous version of Google Earth but as Chrome automatically updates it will suicide itself. Needed to supply direct link to Skype business installer as it's no longer listed on the webpage and the normal full installer won't work if you're offline (says it can't contact the download server).

Also changed the frequency of internet time synchronisation from weekly to daily as I've always found that systems drift considerably, my desktop loses about 10 minutes a week.

In case someone likes to keep this thing updated:

The note "that KB2758857 + KB968389 together replace KB959426" came in too late to be tested for this month's list but will be tested for January. Also it seems that Google has fixed G. Chrome but not G. Earth.

Slightly confused.

I was sent to this site.

Friends Hard drive crashed

New hard drive.... I have the older Win XP Pro disks where SP2 & SP3 need to be added sepatately. His new drive is 500 GB it's formating at 131 GB.

What do I need to do to expand the drive ??? I was told I need Windows XP with SP 2 & SP 3 combined.

I have tried booting Win XP after dividing the drive to 60gb and rebotting. The remainder of the unformatted drive is unaccessible. In DOS it Boots to reprogram drive- open- only shows 60 gb. other disappeared

If I need to download which order do I need to apply it to the other computer ??

I am no computer genius the simpler the better.

Thanks,

Owen

It sounds like you are talking about the 32-bit version of Windows XP (if you don't specifically know otherwise, it's 32-bit), this guide is written for the rare 64-bit version.

That being said, assuming you have an original Microsoft XP disk, all you need to do under nLite is integrate Service Pack 3 (when integrating there is no need to install Service Packs seperately).

You may as well integrate the latest Hotfix Pack at the same time.

For 32-bit XP I also integrate a few bits and pieces, here's what I include (all from the same site as the update pack):

[Hotfixes]
D:\Operating_Systems\nLite\WinXP\Hotfix\1_XPSP3_QFE_UpdatePack_20121211.7z

Ok Thanks.... As I said I'm no genius What or how do you integrate ??

Owen

You can basically follow the steps 1, 2 , 5 & 10 in this guide with the following changes:

1 - as is

2 - integrate the 32-bit SP3 (no need to exit)

5 - add User_Hidden's Update Pack (only, the files linked to in this guide are 64-bit specific so don't use them)

10 - as is

Edited December 30, 201213 yr by Kurt_Aust

I beg your pardon.... I must be blind... WHAT LIST ?

Windows XP x64

KB2757638-x64 | MS13-002 | msxml | 36258 | Replaces KB2719985

APSB13-01 | Flash Player 11.5.502.146 | (a.k.a. KB2796096 in IE10)

.NET Framework 2.0 (I don't check .NET 1.1 and 4.0, sorry.)

KB2742596 | MS13-004 | .net 2.0 | 36275 | Replaces many updates. See below.

.NET Framework 3.5

KB2756918 | MS13-004 | .net 3.0 | 36368 | See below.

KB2736416 | MS13-007 | .net 3.5 | 36300 | Replaces KB982306

Note:

There are many old updates replaced by updates in MS13-004 bulletin. It would be tiring for me to check every update in it, so I checked only what I needed.

KB2686828 replaced by KB2742596

KB2656369 replaced by KB2742596

KB2604092 replaced by KB2729450 + KB2742596 together

KB979909 replaced by KB2742596

KB982306 replaced by KB2736416

KB982168 replaced by KB2756918 + KB2656352 + KB2539631 together. (KB982168 is a rollup update that consist of KB976769, KB976765, and KB980773. All of them are replaced. However Microsoft do not mention the replacement. I guess it's because KB2756918 is technically not a security update.)

EDIT (2013-01-11): Add note that KB982306 and KB982168 are replaced.

Darn Microsoft. They should have merged these three updates together, so I can save my time and disk space.

KB982524 also dies, so there will be a large number of .Net patches lined up against the wall this month.

Of course with .Net 4.0 the patches are 201MB where the actual installer is only 48MB, only Microsoft would have a program where the updates are over four times the size of the original program without issuing an updated installer.
