whenever I slipstream xpsp1a into my Xp home and try to install it it gives an error saying vga.sys currupted, this happens during the text mode when files are being coppied, if i copy the files from the cd and ,make an cd without slipstreaming it installs without any problem. Also the cd came with my dell laptop and not brought originally from microsoft so the $oem$ folder has dell stuff which installs without any problem but my script doesnt work, heres the script

it returns an error saying 'file not found'

is the script right.

Please someone help me with this.

what file isnt found?

whoops, sorry

vga.sys not found.

try just removing 1 thing at a time from your list, and seeing whats causing the problem

Are you sure you're using XP Home... I got this same problem with XP Tablet edition and XP Media Center Edition

nope its a XP Home build 2600, the cd came with my Dell laptop and they have added some of their stuff in it. The file gets currupt only when i slipstream it so i downloaded xpsp1a again and slipstreamed but i again got the same error, now i'll try again with a xpsp1 i had downloaded.

so you don't get the error when you use all that $OEM$ stuff on an RTM XP?

-gosh

yup, also when xp copies the stuff from $1 it converts the folder names to uppercase, but my main problem is the curruption of files after slipstreaming.

I suspect that the vga.sys file is in lower case. All XPCREATIONS have all files in the I386 directory in uppercase, and I never have that problem anymore ...

nope all files are uppercase

****, missed again. Still, I can't help but thinking it is related to the CD structure and file tables, not the files themselves.

even i thought i was breaking some cd protection by directly copying the files so i made one iso without slipstreaming, that one installed without problem.

now whenever i try to slipstream xpsp2 into Xp i get an error saying, 'The procedure entry point _wcstoui64 could not be located in the dynamic link library msvcrt.dll'

your script has to have "Windows Registry Editor 5.0" on the first line of the script.cmd or what ever you've named your script...

or atleast I had to have when installing from cd
