SP3 Wont Slipstream into XP Pro (32-bit)

[john10001]

I am using nlite to try and create a Slipstreamed Win Xp disc. While I am Slipstreaming SP3 into the install it halts when it gets to extracting file i386\luna.ms_ and the error message says "Extraction Failed: File is corrupt".

This is the SP3 file I downloaded from Microsoft's website all 324,030 KB of it.

Has anyone encountered this issue before and how do you fix it to make your slipstreamed disc?

Cheers,

John

System: XP Pro (32-bit) SP3

It shouldnt make a difference since nLite uses the same method but can you try a manual slipstream? All you do is Start Menu > Run and type in something like this: C:\SP3.EXE /integrate:C:\MYXPSOURCE

If it fails, what is the MD5 of SP3? You can use any MD5 utility to check this.

Another thing to try is run a chkdsk /r on the partition you are using.

Hello!

You can also try this manual slipstream:

1) Rename the upgrade file downloaded: SP3.exe

2) Create a temp folder named "SP3" inside your partition (C:\; D:\; etc)

Extract the files:

Inside the window command prompt:

cd C:\
C:\>SP3.exe -u -x:C:\SP3

Slipstream the SP3 inside your XP SP2 source:

Inside the window command prompt:

cd C:\
C:\>cd SP3
C:\SP3>cd i386
C:\SP3\i386>cd update
C:\SP3\i386\update>update.exe -s:C:\MYXPSOURCE

If it's done successfuly you can burn your new CD Windows XP with SP3 sliptreamed and use nLite with your new XP SP3!

I've made many time successfuly!

You can also use this batch file (copy/paste with Notepad):

Integrate_SP3.cmd

If all else fails, you might have to consider a new download of SP3. My advice is to download it strictly from the MS website.

Windows XP Service Pack 3 Network Installation Package for IT Professionals and Developers

john10001, the SP3 file you should be using is 316 MB (331,805,736 bytes) in size, named WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe with hashes MD5: BB25707C919DD835A9D9706B5725AF58

SHA-1: C81472F7EEEA2ECA421E116CD4C03E2300EBFDE4. This assumes you are using English. Enjoy, John.

Hello.

Thanks for all the help and responses. I will try and reply to all these.

I downloaded the checksum utility and this is the MD5 checksum value I get from the SP3 I downloaded from microsoft:

2b02d110609c67366d6610f102071c16

I'm taking that this is somehow incorrect as it doesn't tally with what has been replied to above. Its really strange because I downloaded this from microsoft and the file name is exactly the same. Its just the checksum and file size that I have which are different?

[john10001]

I believe I may still have an ISO image for a slipstream I did a few years ago with XP and SP2. Is it possible to use that ISO image and integrate that with SP3 using Nlite or do you still need to use the original XP Windows Disc?

I'm not sure I fancy trying to do it manually in Command Prompt (DOS). Wouldn't I also need to extract the files from the original XP CD to do it this way and integrate with SP3?

[john10001]

I have just re-downloaded the SP3 from microsoft from the link myselfidem provided. File size is exactly the same as I had previously it is 316MB (324,030KB) on my system. Checksum is now: bb25707c919dd835a9d9706b5725af58 which seems to be the same as johnhc posted. So I will try again and see if nlite can slipstream with this new download from microsoft and my XP disc.

Cheers,

John

john10001, good luck and be sure to start with a fresh copy of your CD files/folders and run nLite only once doing all your work. Enjoy, John.

Thanks! I seem to have sucessfully got through the first part of integrating SP3 now into the windows install.

In the section for Hotfixes, Add-Ons and Updates Packs is there anything worth installing here? What options would people usually add at this second part of slipstreaming if any?

john10001, well, Hotfixes, Add-Ons and Updates Packs. There are Update Packs that contain all the MS updates after SP3 - see RyanVM forum, AddOns can be applications - see AddOn forum above here. Enjoy, John.
