71Chevelle Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Trying to use nlite to create a Windows XP install disc with SP3. When I get to the option to input the location for SP3 it gives me an error that it isn't correct, "The specified executable is not a valid Win32 application", what I downloaded from Microsoft was WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe but nlite is looking for RVMUpdatePackSP3_1.0.3.7z. Where exactly do I get the SP3 that nlite is looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sp0iLedBrAt Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Welcome to MSFN. This is the download location from Microsoft http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=24 It's very possible that you have a corrupted download of SP3, so retry the download. As for this part "but nlite is looking for RVMUpdatePackSP3_1.0.3.7z ", I don't know how that happened. nLite doesn't ask for anything and will accept either of the both. Of course, you can use the (Post-SP3) Update pack as well, but after SP3.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponch Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 what I downloaded from Microsoft was WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe but nlite is looking for RVMUpdatePackSP3_1.0.3.7z. Your download is correct (for an english/US version of XP). Why nLiye asks for something else is probably as Kelsenellenelvian suggested, because you are not using defailt settings but importing a preset of things "to do" that include that file. RVMUpdatePackSP3_1.0.3.7z is an "addon pack" that includes POST SP3 updates but it is 2 years old now. It still needs SP3 to be included in the source. For a really up to date cd, you're better off checking -X-'s site. (search for any thread here by user -X- and check his signature.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponch Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I tried... but Google lead me here ! And I refused to write "not up to date update pack" as it felt like an oximoron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, -X-'s site is a good resource, but is it still being maintained, last update was November 2011 Patch Tuesday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
