Integration of updates and drivers

[ElSid]

I've searched the forums and can not find the answer.

I am updating my XP CD to include SP3, RVM Update, and Driver Packs.

I have never used the driver packs within NLITE and I am confused as to how to integrate ALL the packs.

My Steps.

• Use Nlite to create working directory, integrate SP3
  
• Use RVM integrator to install RVM update pack
  
• Use DBase to integrate ALL driverpacks
  
• Back to Nlite for automation
  

I'm also not sure about the Office 2003 being in the correct place

Below is my personal (I added items that were generated by DPack into the location and I added Office 2003 items) WINNT.SIF FILE

Any and all help and clear instruction would be greatly appreciated. This is the first time I am trying to created an all inclusive DVD. Usually I just integrate the SP and RVM update.

Use DriverPacks last. BASE makes necessary changes to WINNT.SIF (the unattended file). Using nLite after will break the DriverPacks.

EDIT: WINNT.SIF is not a BAT or CMD file. Remove the following lines:

ECHO.
ECHO Installing Office 2003
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Office2003\PRO11.msi /QB

Add the following under [GUIRunOnce] instead:

command1="%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Office2003\PRO11.msi /QB"

I've created a project called UXP to automate these steps - http://www.msfn.org/board/project-uxp-t113249.html

Also noticed that nLite will break the DPS and vice-versa so I use WPI and an automated addons converter to enjoy silent installs from nlite addons.

The drivers are a bit outdated and I haven't added an option to automatically slipstream the SP3 onto a XP source but this can also be scripted if there is interest in such feature.

As bonus - you also get a XP running live from the DVD for computer repair or later on use the same disc to install XP onto the machine, did it basically as a tool for techs.
