107 Hotfixes Integrating has been an experience."Still is"

XP Service Pack 1 Not nlited Using Virtual Pc 2007

Using Image Burn 2.47 from a batch file

WINNT.SIF

I've Been working on a new unattended cd for the last week or two but this cd i've decided to actually do some work and do it without Nlite. I wanted to learn how to customize my cd the manual way. I've made about 15 iso images and mounted them in virtual pc and little by little made small changes as i go. So far everything is seting up as i want as far as reg tweaks, bypassing mini setup, cleaning up the start menu.cmd, and i have the $OEM$ folders set up exactly as i want. Cmdlines.txt is running batch files as they should. But im completely stumped as far as "SVCPACK.INF" and my hotfixes not integrating at all. I asked a similiar question here before

http://www.msfn.org/board/hotfixes-integrating-through-svcpackinf-t143346.html but no reply or maybe i didnt ask right. So i figured id just "try harder" and it will all work out and i'll do more searching. Maybe i wasnt thorough enough when i asked the first time. IDK

I then tried another method using WINCDMAN --->http://berns.cae.wisc.edu/files/wincdman/wincdman.html and see if i can get the hotfixes to integrate maybe. WINCDMAN is a batch file that compiles all the svcpack DIR hotfixes in one shot. That didnt work.

Ive got 107 hotfixes subtract 10 i "just threw in the mix at the end of "svcpack.inf". Ive followed this guide religously but its not working.

Im hoping someone can take a look at my "svcpack.inf" file or just give me some input. I had high hopes for this undertaking...

Using_MSFN_Unattende_WAY_svcpack.inf

I've spent the last five days trying to get them to integrate properly using different switches and im completly lost at this point.

Heres my "svcpack.inf" after i ran WINCDMAN Wincdman_SVCPACK.INF

The file version from the "update.exe" inside one of the hot fixes is version 5.3.0016.6. So its an older hotfix that dosnt support the newer switches. I've dotted all my t's .. I've added svcpack optional directories to "dosnet.inf" Deleted the original "svcpack.inf" that was compressed before adding my updated version with the hotfixes in the I386 DIR. I also noticed that when i run media player 10 setup "silent installer" from the desktop it runs silently when double clicking on it but wont even install using no switches through "svcpack.inf". Please someone take a look at this giving up is not an option

I hope i've been thourough enough and didnt leave anything out as i really need someone to have a look over whats going on with this.

Take a look at this as im not sure i can make this work ... Ive got to be missing something somewhere but i dont think so. ... .

Or is there a tool where it will tell me what switches these hotfixes use. Or any suggestions... Or another way of integrating without using nlite.

Ive even looked at the microsoft website on how to integrate and same info as MSFN.

Thanks in advance as id really appreciate any help even any suggestions
