Remove msjava from XPSP1

[jrzycrim]

Hello,

I have the XP Service Pack 1 CD. To avoid downloading SP1a, I want to remove msjava from XPSP1.exe. What I plan on doing is removing msjavx86.exe from the sfx cab and repack it. I've been going throung the update.inf and figured it might be a lot easier just using the update.inf from XPSP1a.

Will this work and if so, can someone upload update.inf for sp1a? I've searched for related posts on this forum and elsewhere but no joy.

Thanks,

Jim

Hmm, not sure about anything about editing the .cab or .infs, but here is something to do after its installed..

Remove M$ Java Virtual Machine

Thanks Rayok.

That's what I've been doing but I'd like to just get rid of it altogether.

If I can't do it, I'll just download SP1a. I Should be able to do it over night.

Cheers,

Jim

does slipstreaming REMOVE the VM from thesource? I know it doesn't install it, but I've wondered if the files actually get removes as well.

I thought that the VM was not part of the original release of XP. Or am I not understanding what you mean, Alanoll.

[Alanoll]

it wasn't included in Windows XP RTM, but was in SP1. I was just curious, if when you slipstream SP1a into the source, does it remove the files themselves from the source, or just the lines that would have them installed.

I was never really sure, and was never tight enough on space to find out.

I see.

I'm not sure. Do you mean if you slipstream sp1a into a sp1 distribution? I was planning on slipstreaming sp1a (or a modified sp1 without the vm) into the XP rtm.

You wouldn't happen to have the update.inf for sp1a handy, would you? It's in the update directory of XPSP1a sfx cab.

this one?

had to compress it as it's 311K and board max is 150K

EDIT::

rar removed as the person who wanted it said he got it. No need to waste space.

[jrzycrim]

Thanks! That's what I need.

No problem with the compression. 46k is a lot better than 311k.

I'll test it out and report back if anyone is interested.

Thanks again!
