I am running into a bit of trouble gettting svcpack.inf to run at the 13 minutes remaining mark during GUI setup on my XP SP2 disc. Would the info need to be the same as the XP SP1 disc as below, or would it need to be different?

[Version]
Signature="$Windows NT$" 
MajorVersion=5 
MinorVersion=1 
BuildNumber=2600

I tried making MinorVersion=2 and BuildNumber=2906, but didnt have anyluck with that.

All the files for svcpack to run are in the correct location and run with the correct switches.

Thanks a lot

what r u trying to install from svcpack.inf in sp2?

most ppl use hotfixes to install for sp1.

i think minor version is still 1

integration of sp2 doesn't change svcpack.inf

@Blyster: Did you remember to edit your DOSNET.INF?

[OptionalSrcDirs]
SVCPACK

Yes, i did make the change to DOSNET.INF

i am running the following from svcpack.inf

.NET Framework

Movie Maker 2

Journal Viewer

Highmat CD Support Update

I will try in few with the same version info in svcpack.inf as when done from SP1.

Are you experiencing any sort of error screen or does it run all the way through (an unattended install) but just skips the svcpack items?

Not getting any errors(Goes through unattended install just fine). I do see a flash like a dos prompt flash for less than half a second at the 13 minute mark though(its not cmdlines.txt though since i dont have it put in yet). But when i log in and check windows update, those updates are still out there.

I'll fiddle with it a bit more to test if the improper version info was keeping it from running

Blyster

why don't you just run the files from cmdlines.txt?

Running these app from CMD files would be a great idea....

But It would be great to know what causes the Windows to ignore SVCPACK.INF.

here's mine
