weezer1717 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) I have a valid RTM Win XP installation cd and license and wanted to slipstream SP3 into it. Using my other computer that runs Vista, I tried all of the following to no avail. In all cases, I would get the "Product ID is not valid" message and the installation wouldn't continue:slipstream SP3 using 1.4.5slipstream SP2 and then SP3 using 1.4.5slipstream SP3 using 1.4.1Ultimately, I slipstreamed SP2 and will just use Windows Update to get to SP3.Do you think there is something I did wrong? Does 1.4.5 on Vista definitely work for SP3? Edited May 23, 2008 by weezer1717 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mara- Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Nuhi made some silent updates to nLite to fix this problem. Make sure that you have latest version of nLite. Executable file nlite.exe should have version 1.4.5.5.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezer1717 Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 Yeah, I was using the latest install (1.4.5.5) in all three of my slipstreams and still no success. Has anyone successfully slipstreamed SP3 while using Vista as a host? Could there be some other bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to run nLite in compatibility mode, somebody says that this can solve problem. Or if this does not help, you can install XP in Virtual machine and then preform a slipstream in it.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beanhead Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I didn't trust nLite to integrate SP3, so I did it manually from the administrator command prompt. for example, "C:\SP3\i386\update\update.exe /integrate:C:\XP". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekker_Cain Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Seems to be working for me. I saw in the instructions that SP2 needs to be slipstreamed before SP3. Did that and now I got an SP3 CD. Great Job Nuhi!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
