Please slow down and try to explain yourself better...

You should simply download all hotfixes via the corresponding KB articles on the Microsoft web site. Downloading them on your own system via Windows Update for example isn't the easiest way. See which hotfixes are installed on your up-to-date system and download the corresponding hotfixes via their KB-number from the Microsoft web site. You can also have a look at Tomcat76's hotfix lists for instance. It's linked from the HFSLIP web site and contains all updates since SP2. Another way is to use the tool Windows Update Downloader, which is somewhere for grabs on this forum.

thanx arie i downloaded some hotfixes and i integrated some of them in my cd by using the below command

kb123456.exe /integrate:c:\xpcd

[Kelsenellenelvian]

Have you ever heard of nLite?

It will automatically slipstream those hotfixes and soooo much more.

You can find in in the member contributed products section of this forum.

HFSLIP can integrate the downloaded hotfixes for you as well and gives you much more control over the final result.

i did all the above things but i dont want to use nlite because i want to use the driver packs in .7z format only in nlite it is not possible but i want some tweaks which are used in nlite where can i get them

[Kelsenellenelvian]

Which tweaks?

P.S. You do know you can nLite your disk AND then use the Driverpacks on it afterwards don't you?

i intergrated windowsxp-kb936929-sp3-x86-enu.exe to xpcd then i am getting the problem plugin.ocx file is not found how to rectify this problem

[Kelsenellenelvian]

By not using a XP SP2 source.

Messily though you could just add a "dummy" plugin.ocx file (Rname a empty txt file to that) and place it in your I386 dir.

NOTE I cannot guarantee that will work! But it really should.
