Just for everyone's information IE8 RTM has been released

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-...wide-sites.aspx

Please post results with nLite please.. Thanks...

bugmenot, this is no surprise. Please see this thread. Enjoy, John.

bugmenot, you should watch the video. An MS lady says slipstreaming IE8 is supported only for Vista and above and not XP. She seems quite pleased at this development! I install IE8 in my nLited ISO via the RunOnce exit in Unattended. Sorry, John.

someone will probably eventually make a svcpack addon or something

You can download the IEAK8 kit from the technet site and make a completely silent installer in both exe and msi package format for corporate network installations.

But I cant get it to install from the svcpack folder :-(

You can sliently install it once windows is up and running with the /q or /quiet switches but try as I might it simply wont run from svcpack.inf at t-13 minutes.

Looks like the runonce is the only option for now.

This will work well for me since I use the WPI install method for many appz etc so I can build it and use it here.

Do you need to have IE7 slipstreamed in XP installation to be able to use IE8 or u can just install/add it to installation, on any original SP3 disc?

No, you don't.

And FYI, for anyone tryng the above Add-On, here's another from an Administrator at the German nLite website (Add-On is translated to English) -

here's his post

and here's another thread with more information on the same and the one shown in this thread -

right here

edit - and another FYI... this one -

http://www.winaddons.com/internet-explorer-80/

is a "hotfix" setup, not a "slipstream" setup...

(the ones linked at top of this post are specifically for SlipStream).

So choose your own and you decide...

Yes, I could have posted the link, but I'm too lazy to read the rules, and in some forums web links are not allowed before a certain number of posts. On the good side, someone else already did it, so... -)
