Slipstreaming HOTfixes question

[Bethrezen]

hi all

My brother asked my to make him an up-to-date copy of his windows disk because he needs to reinstall his computer and he doesn't want to spend ages downloading/installing stuff off the windows update afterwords

however last time I tried this I ran into a nasty problem that caused the iso to go into a reboot loop when I tried to install after some investigation I narrowed down the suspect list to just 1 hot fix that seemed to be causing the issue and it was suggested to me that I needed to slipstream the hot fixes in the correct order to prevent this issue from occurring

here is the post in question

my question however is how do you know what order you should slipstream the hot fixes in ? because nlite doesn't have a function to check the order for you ?

I suppose the best way would be to put them in the order of release; as Microsoft releases updates that replace older hotfixes, see -X-'s list to see which one replaces which one. I read your last post, and to integrate IE7-WindowsXP-KB961260-x86-ENU.exe, you need to have IE7 on your system first. See HERE for an add-on. RyanVM's Forums even have a tool where you can make your add-on with the hotfixes included, so you don't have to integrate them twice.

Enjoy (and use Search, it answers A LOT of questions)

Search Microsoft Knowledge Base [KB] for "QChain.EXE" : and add this file to LAST line of your nLite HotFix list.

This file analyzes & updates the files so that only the latest files get installed and you can save worrying about the correct order.

--- Hope it helps.
