Problem during MDAC slipstream

**ddave** · May 4, 2004

Hi,

I have downloaded all the needed patches for XP and have copied them to the correct folders.

When I run XPCREATE though, it generates the following error:

Slipstreaming MDAC update

File not found - *271*.CAT

Everything else seems to run ok.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Dave

edit: Better attach my log file, huh?

Welcome to MSFN, ddave!

As stated on the XPCREATE Web Site a couple of times ... use an Original Windows XP CD ...

For all those listening: The file NEWFILES\LOGFILES.CAB is a compressed version of the log files. Please attach when reporting errors.

but how did you know that i wasn't using an original XP cd?

from your log

i belive from this section

-- 15:38:07 -- XPSOURCE Root Directory: y:

Most XP CDs usually have more then jsut the I386 directory on them

Yep, the logs tell that ... and more (check your bank statement lately?)
