LooieENG Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 (edited) I have SP2 on disc, but to integrate the 300MB SP3, would I need XP with no service packs? Edited April 19, 2008 by LooieENG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EGOvoruhk Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 u can integrate over xpsp2 disk.....but i prefer integrate over a gold xp ....Any particular reason?Could I use a VLK key with such a version? SP3 slipstreams and installs fine on my current SP2 version, but will it allow me to use it on a pre-SP1/2 version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 You have 3 or more different versions of Windows Pro m8:OEMRetailCorpEach one actually only recognizes the keys for its version.Now say you have a VLK or "Corp" key you will have to have a corp Gold disk to use a clean disk.With sp1 and sp2 integrated you will loose some disk space thats why you should integrate ove a gold disk.

Mt.Dew Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 (edited) With sp1 and sp2 integrated you will loose some disk space thats why you should integrate ove a gold disk. Actually, if you do it right, the SP2 with SP3 integrated, makes for a smaller image than integrating to a XP Gold source.SP0 with SP3 is 561mbSP2 with SP3 cleaned up and dotnetfx folder removed (to show comparision against SP0 since SP0 does not have DOTNETFX folder) Is 548mbIf you choose to leave DOTNETFX folder (and copy DOTNETFX to the SP0 integrated image) Then the file sizes will be:SP0 source: 600mbSP2 source: 587mb Edited April 21, 2008 by Mt.Dew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelsenellenelvian Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I am talking about without nLite-ing you have the extra folders AND the drivers sp2 cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mt.Dew Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 (edited) Nlite will "integrate" it properly, but will not clean up the duplicate files. If you have a SP2 disk this is the way to clean it up. Doing this is also very useful if you wish to make custom modified images.-edit: Forgot to mention this: Copy/extract your sp2 image to a folder named "finished" on your HD, then copy sp3 installer to a folder called "sp3" and rename the intaller to "sp3.exe"To make this method much faster, create a new text file and name it cleanup.txt and add the following in quotes. Then rename it to cleanup.bat and launch.(note, you must edit the directories to point to your actual drive/folder directories. This script will also integrate so you won't need nlite)e:\sp3\sp3.exe /integrate:e:\finishedrmdir /s /q e:\finished\cmpnentsdel /q /f e:\finished\WIN51IP.SP2del /q /f e:\finished\i386\PLUGIN.OC_del /q /f e:\finished\i386\SP2.CABdel /q /f e:\finished\i386\SP2.CATdel /q /f e:\finished\i386\ASMS\70\POLICY\MSFT\MSWINCRT\MSWINCRT.CA_del /q /f e:\finished\i386\ASMS\70\MSFT\WINDOWS\MSWINCRT\MSVCIRT.DL_del /q /f e:\finished\i386\ASMS\70\MSFT\WINDOWS\MSWINCRT\MSVCRT.DL_del /q /f e:\finished\i386\ASMS\70\MSFT\WINDOWS\MSWINCRT\MSWINCRT.CA_del /q /f e:\finished\i386\ASMS\60\POLICY\60\COMCTL\COMCTL.CA_del /q /f e:\finished\I386\ASMS\60\MSFT\WINDOWS\COMMON\CONTROLS\COMCTL32.DL_del /q /f e:\finished\I386\ASMS\60\MSFT\WINDOWS\COMMON\CONTROLS\CONTROLS.CA_del /q /f e:\finished\I386\ASMS\52\POLICY\MSFT\WINDOWS\NETWORKING\RTCDLL\RTCDLL.CA_del /q /f e:\finished\I386\ASMS\52\POLICY\MSFT\WINDOWS\NETWORKING\DXMRTP\DXMRTP.CA_del /q /f e:\finished\I386\ASMS\52\MSFT\WINDOWS\NET\RTCRES\RTCRES.CA_del /q /f e:\finished\I386\ASMS\52\MSFT\WINDOWS\NET\RTCRES\RTCRES.DL_del /q /f e:\finished\I386\ASMS\52\MSFT\WINDOWS\NET\RTCDLL\RTCDLL.CA_del /q /f e:\finished\I386\ASMS\52\MSFT\WINDOWS\NET\RTCDLL\RTCDLL.DL_del /q /f e:\finished\I386\ASMS\52\MSFT\WINDOWS\NET\DXMRTP\DXMRTP.CA_del /q /f e:\finished\I386\ASMS\52\MSFT\WINDOWS\NET\DXMRTP\DXMRTP.DL_del /q /f e:\finished\I386\ASMS\2\DEFAULT\DEFAULT.CA_del /q /f e:\finished\I386\ASMS\10\POLICY\MSFT\WINDOWS\GDIPLUS\GDIPLUS.CA_del /q /f e:\finished\I386\ASMS\10\MSFT\WINDOWS\GDIPLUS\GDIPLUS.CA_del /q /f e:\finished\I386\ASMS\10\MSFT\WINDOWS\GDIPLUS\GDIPLUS.DL_del /q /f e:\finished\I386\ASMS\1\DEFAULT\DEFAULT.CA_Next, use what ever program you like to make a cd and don't forget to add the bootable information.

Mt.Dew Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 (edited) Those files get deleted because on integration of sp3 to a sp2 source, the "NEW" files are full extension names. For example, after integration, the folder \finished\i386\ASMS\70\POLICY\MSFT\MSWINCRT\ will contain MSWINCRT.CA_ (sp2 source) and the new file MSWINCRT.CATSame goes for the .dl_ files that become .dll for the new files, same with .ca_ for .cab and .cat, etcAll those files get deleted because now they are outdated and are not used.Feel free to try the script and run the new integrated image in v.m.
