Frosty555 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) So, the other day I was putting together the latest and greatest of my slipstreamed discs. I regularly use slipstreamed discs to make the install process faster when I reformat client computers, but my latest discs were only SP2, and had a lot of holes in them. It was time for new ones.My goal was to have a disc with: 1) Windows XP Professional OEM 2) XP Service Pack 3 3) RyanVM's PostSP3 upgrades 4) RyanVM's WGA Update Addon 5) Windows Media Player 11 Slipstream 6) IE7 Slipstream 7) A few unrelated programs that install unattended in the RunOnceBut after takin an XP disc and slipstreaming SP3 onto it, I ran into a whole pile of trouble. In the "bluebootup box" during setup: "Unable to find SP3.CAB" "Unable to find Stream.sys" + many many othersIn the main setup: "Unregmp2.dll cannot find WMDRMSDK.DLL" + a hundred others as a result of the above errorNothing seemed to work. As it turned out, half the files from SP3 were never integrated into my install! So after much playing and toying around, I figured out a sequence that seems to work:1) Extract a clean XP Pro OEM + SP2 disc2) Use nLite to integrate Service Pack 33) Use nLite to integrate RyanVM's PostSP3 pack and WGA addon4) Manually open the Service Pack 3 install EXE using WinRAR5) Extract ALL files in the root of the service pack into the \I386\ folder. Make sure to SKIP files that already exist though. This ensures that everything that was in the service pack is also in the installation.6) Add whatever you want to the $OEM$ folderFinally, use a batch file in the RunOnce to execute all of the WMP11 hotfixes and the installation itself. I found the WMP11 Slipstreamer to be flaky when combined with SP3.7) Build the ISO file using nLite and test on a virtual machineFor some reason it was really important to get all the files out of the SP3 installer manually and drop them into the I386 folder. Stuff was missing until I did that.------ edit -------Edited the steps above to be more accurate. RyanVM's integrator + SP3 apparantly doesn't mix well.

Guest Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 The /integrate: switch always worked perfect for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty555 Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) What is the /integrate switch? Do you mean on the SP3 installer EXE? Isn't that basically just what nLite does?Darn it.... I spoke too soon about it working properly. I get "Advanced INF Install" errors saying it can't find WMP.INF. And a rundll32.exe failure saying it cannot find framedyn.dll and srcclient.dll.Seriously SP3 has a lot of issues...

Guest Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Yeah /integrate is used with the SP3 installer to slipstream it into your source. nLite must use the same command but it tends to modify files here and there which I don't like.As far as your problem, I would slipstream SP3 alone either with nLite or the /integrate switch and test it. If it works OK, then add the other stuff until the problem appears. Make sure to always start with a clean source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamtheky Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) Yeah thats a lot of bonus steps.-I take a clean SP2 source. -run Sp3.exe /integrate-run WMP11.exe /Q and KB95154.exe /quiet /norestart from the runonceex.

mara- Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Do not use RyanVM Integrator. Use nLite only, it can do everything as that integrator and you won't get advanced inf installation. Combination of different tools is not recommended. Also, if you copy main executable of WMP11 Slipstreamer into nLite folder, then you can use nLite to integrate WMP11 and it's updates. And, it is recommended that you do everything in one season, do not use nLite or some other tool more then once on some files. If you make a mistake in process, it is recommended to start from begin with fresh XP files.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty555 Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 Yup you guys were right.Redid it using nLite to integrate RyanVM's packs, and I put the WMP11 stuff into a batch file in runonce, and everything went smoothly.I'll edit the original post to reflect the process..

elcaminojake Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Do you have to copy paste the batch file into oem and use runonce to use it or do you integrate the batch into nlite???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neutrino123 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 If your goal is to install faster, sysprep, cloning only take 5 min, everything can be done under 20min, whereas a normal setup takes more than 20minl, and that's without drivers and essential program.
