Integrating XP_SP3.... file copy errors running Update Wizard.

[ki_supergeek]

Hello.... I'm new to using nlite and have ran into a snag while building the load CD.

I'm building the image using Windows XP Pro (already includes SP2).

I downloaded the new SP3, but it has errors during the integration process.

When I point to the downloaded SP3 file, nlite detects earlier installed hotfixes and asks if I want to remove them, and that I won't be able to integrate additional hotfixes unless the old ones are removed.

I allowed nlite to remove the hotfixes, and it successfully extracted the SP3 files into the sptemp file.

When the Software Installation Update Wizard runs, it fails with an error that says it can not copy all of the necessary files and terminates at that point.

How can I fix this error?

Could the SP3 file be corrupted for some reason?

Could the Update Wizard be looking for a file that isn't applicable to SP3?

Thanks.....!

*****UPDATE*******UPDATE*******UPDATE************UPDATE*********UPDATE****

I tried it yet once again, for the 50th time, and it worked!!!

I did nothing different from all the previous attempts, so I don't understand why it worked OK the last time I tried it.

Any clues.....?

I'm sure I'll have more questions as I go through this learning process.

Thanks....!

I think that you got problem because you did not used clean XP source. You used XP SP2 with some hotfixes integrated. I strongly suggest you to use clean XP source (source that is NOT modified in any way). You can use XP with SP2 integrated but with no any hotfixes integrated. Maybe nLite can remove those hotfixes, but still this is better solution.

Cheers
