Just Slipstreamed (!) Ie8 into Xp Cd (Sp3)

[Christine_ts]

I'm not so good i n English, please don't kill for that :-)

First, i downloadet Internet Explorer 8 to C:\ and renamed the file to Ie8.exe.

Then i Copy my Xp Corporate Cd (Slipstreamed with Sp3) to C:\Test.

Somewhere on internet i find that Microsoft use a Selfextractfileformat that have a intern filelist in the file and that the Hexbyte 60 00 before the filename tell that just that file should start when the extraction are ready. All other filest start with Hexbyte 20 00.

Well, the startfile in Ie8.exe is Iesetup.exe", the file that is originaly used to upgrade an already installed Windows.

I used a Hexeditor and edit the Ie.8.exe so the file "Iesetup.exe" have Hexbyte 20 00 before the filename an so edit the Hexbyte before the file"Update.exe" to 60 00, the file that is originaly used to Integrate the Ie8 into something.

I save the file and write "Ie8.exe /Integrate:c:\test and get a Successed Dialog.

But - When the Xp Innstall are ready copying files and Reboot i get a Error message and then Reboot before i can read the message.

Can someone help debugging this problem ?

Here is the LogFile Messages:

Unless I missed the news, you can't do IE8/integrate and expect it slipstream. There is no true slipstreaming of IE8. You need to use and addon that can probably be found here or at ryamvm's forum.

Well, i belive Microsoft stop the integrating just because they don't like Xp anymore.

I think the solution are simple and as you see the option are supportet. Why ?

And i don't like Nlite and so one !!

I have already used CmdLines.txt and get in at T-12, but are not happy whit that.

I like Xp and want it integratet on the Cd so the Install process going faster.

Well I was wrong on true slipstreaming. I found this http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=133760

Maybe you can look at that addon or other ones and figure out how to do it manually. I believe the addon in the thread above is for Vista x64....I forget which version of NT Vista is.
