markomus Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Probably already been answered elsewhere, but...I slipstreamed SP3 using nLite. That worked great! Then I decided to go further and slipstream the first batch of updates (a total of 45). They all integrated successfully. I gave the installation a shot. Everything installed. BUT...when I went to the Windows Update page it was showing that the 45 updates hadn't installed. There they were all check marked and ready for download! What'd I miss here?

Sp0iLedBrAt Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 A few questions to diagnose more easily:- did you use individual updates from the MS website or an update pack?-if from MS, did you rename them? -Check C:\WINDOWS\system32\CatRoot\ to see if the security catalogs for those updates are present in the foldersand of course, please attach your Last_Session.ini :-)Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponch Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 and of course, please attach your Last_Session.ini :-)I sense this becoming a catch phrase like "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" . Where's Johnhc ?Anyway, one could check this thread, it's too long for me but seems relevant even if it is not clear wether his problem got fixed or not.

Guest Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Also post your %windir%\inf\nlite.inf after removing any personal details like Windows username and password. That's where the updates are applied to the registry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started to get a little confused, so I'm just going to stick to a step-by-step review of my specific problem. Much appreciate the foot work done, though! Thanks!

markomus Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 "Last Session.ini" is in the root of your created XPCD.Please attach, don`t paste.Here's my attempt to attach said file. I opened it--and I'm no expert--but it looks as if none of the updates, save one, made it???LAST_SESSION.INI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where the updates are applied to the registry.I was unable to locate this in the fresh install. I take it that's a bad sign??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-force Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) You only slipstreamed 1 Hotfix - and it`s path is way too long.Please create a folderstructure on another partition like this:D:\-XPCD-SP3-ISO-HOTFIXES--MS-Updates--AddonsIt´s a better way to work, pathes are kept short, you don`t loose everything in case of new XP-Installation on C: Edited August 25, 2009 by g-force Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try it the way you instructed, though, and shorten the file structure. I'll post back soon. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
