HOWTO create a fully up to date XP x64 DVD (EoL Feb 2016)

**Kurt_Aust** · August 6, 2008

One thing curious about is the Buildnumber, seeing as i will update many things including kernel. Does it matter much if that number is different much?
I assume it has some kind of purpose.

As I understand it, Microsoft's hotfix installers as well as 3rd party apps like nLite, HFslip & RVM integrator use the build number simply to determine which is the latest version and hence whether the file in question should be replaced.

If you look at the version number it is in the form x.x.x.x, for XP x64 it should be 5.2.3790.x where:

5 => NT5 series

2 => 2K3 series (Win2000 5.0, WinXP 5.1)

3790 => Build number of service pack 2

Only the last number should change.

I see most hotfixes contain CAT (security catalog files) named in the 8character already. Can i just call them, or do i have to extract them? If i write KB111111.cat (example name) under productcatalogsdata, will it then understand that that comes from kb111111.exe file? I somehow think so.

This is very interesting process =)

I am very interested in getting rid of the .cab archives, using them in extracted formated if possible. Reason why is to be able to update contents, and modify, without having to de-cab and re-cab everytime.

I guess you dont know that one?

You guess correctly (though I think you're stuck with the cabs). Your prize is a suggestion that those who make update packs (RyanVM forums) are more likely to be able to give a definite answer to your question.

**TranceEnergy** · August 7, 2008

I will perhaps do that, tho i dont mind doing some more googling atm. Running first install in vmware now, i have selected to not install more or less everything i could through winnt.sif (using link as reference), keeping paint etc.

I kinda wish i did this way back. This is so much fun =)

edit: well it's working great so far. I really like the higher level of control on whats going into the windows install. I used gosh's guide to create smaller xp source(only upgrade install option lost), which with a few modifications works on x64 as well, saved about 130mb on iso =)

**TranceEnergy** · August 13, 2008

Thank you for this glorious update!

I am so grateful that you have added such update as the 155- too, i dont care wheter or not its for intel cpu fix, i just like having everything in latest versions.

Kick a** effort there, good job sir!

On dot.net 3.5 with sp1 built does contain 2.0 and 3.0 and 3.5 all versions with x86 and x64, just looked inside the temp dirs.

Goto link Kurt here provides and down on the same page you can choose to download the full version and not just "the bootstrapper" which it says on the page.

I suggest using /lang:ENU for english only, so it skips other languages installations. Perhaps install even goes a bit faster then.

Here is the link to Adobe Labs to DL Flash Player 10 (both plugin and ActiveX). Note that it is a Release Candidate and requires the removal of older versions of Flash if you are going to install it on a machine with Flash already installed.

http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html

Thanks much, Kurt for the latest updates!!!!!

Enjoy, John.

**TranceEnergy** · August 13, 2008

John, i installed both of those versions over the old one xxx.24 something, install went fine and no errors that i know of, flash animations play. It didnt give me any options or warning or such.

**johnhc** · August 13, 2008

TranceEnergy,

Did you install the ActiveX or just the plugin? The Adobe notes said the old ActiveX must be removed. Just quoting them.

Enjoy, John.

**TranceEnergy** · August 13, 2008

I actually installed both. However i dont have IE installed, only IE core, so old activex is removed as well i assume. Tho i cant know for sure, sometimes nlite keeps components partially and leaves registry settings for things to be compatible. There is no normal procedure , add/remove control applet, to remove "old activex" that i have ever seen. So i have no idea what they mean by that.

**TranceEnergy** · August 15, 2008

Okay, i've started to go through Kurt's list versus my own. And i noted down a few differences. I'll add more if i find any...

Hotfixes with KB'numbers' are not in Kurt's list and 'numbered' hotfixes are obviously from Kurt's list

KB948570 contains :

oleaut32.dll 5.2.3790.4235

advapi32.dll 5.2.3790.4235

shlwapi.dll 6.0.3790.4235

340-WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB943055-x64-ENU contains

oleaut32.dll 5.2.3790.4202

no other files

KB948963 contains :

KB945272 contains:

230-WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB943460-x64-ENU contains:

shell32.dll 6.0.3790.4184

no other files

---

Update craziness ;D

one more:

KB944043 contains many files new versions of windows time,workstation service etc.:

lsasrv.dll 5.2.3790.4275 LSA Server DLL

300-WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB943485-x64-ENU contains:

lsasrv.dll 5.2.3790.4186 LSA Server DLL

ops found another :

KB952679 contains 1 file :

win32k.sys 5.2.3790.4305 Multi-User Win32 Driver

360-WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB941693-x64-ENU contains 1 file:

win32k.sys 5.2.3790.4256 Multi-User Win32 Driver

Another situation:

100-WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB927891-v5-x64-ENU contains 1 file (i really should write update instead) :

msi.dll 3.1.4000.4042 Windows installer

Which of course is superseeded by 040-WindowsServer2003-KB942288-v4-x64

msi.dll 4.5.6001.22159

So obviously if one chooses windows installer 4.5, one does not need the 100-WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB927891-v5-x64-ENU

Also about msxml 4.0 sp2

File Name: msxml4-KB936181-enu.exe

about 480-WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB946648-x64-ENU

this only contains x86 file for Messenger Service wmsgsc.dll 4.7.0.3002

This entire hotfix should just be deleted. If one wants to run old msn, one can get version 5.1 which i *believe* is more or less the same as 4.7 only more secure/patched up etc.

At least mark it as optional.

WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB924131-x64-ENU.exe from run1 xp64 batch file

rem Virtual PC 2007 (KB924131 is only for processors supporting AMD-V)

%Source%AddOns\WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB924131-x64-ENU.exe /Passive /NoRestart

is a SP1 update afaik. Actually scratch that, looks like sp0 update. Tho there never was such a thing.

It will try to update kernels, sp and mp, to version 5.2.3790.2771, far below sp2. (.3790)

about Group Policy Preference Client Side Extensions for Windows XP x64 Edition KB943729

if one doesnt need IE7 or perhaps one uses ie8 beta or whatever. KB943729 needs XMLLite according to KB article. Link to x64 edition here. Needed for Visio 2007, IE7 it says. KB article link with download links for various versions.

Note: XMLLite is packaged with IE7.

On another topic, sigh no one responds. How can i insert my key for Avast antivirus program in unattended?

**johnhc** · August 15, 2008

TranceEnergy,

It looks like avast! has a really good silent install feature, but it only applies to the Pro version. See silent installation in their Help file.

Also see this post in the avast! forum.

Enjoy, John.

**TranceEnergy** · August 15, 2008

Well that's a gawdamn shame =) I like avast, but it does halt startup-process somewhat i think, even with memory scan on startup disabled.
