How much grows installation after SP2?


Recommended Posts

Posted

it's a simple question now that i'm waiting sp2 on my language... how much grows the installation when you slipstream sp2 on to sp1 (not sp1a)??

other question, i've tweaked many files on the i386 folder for example DOSNET.INF, TXTSETUP.SIF, HIVESYS.INF, UXTHEME.DLL... how many of them are overwritten and how many are still same version??

thanks for replies ;)

edit: ooops! sorry now i see it's the wrong forum, any admin, please can you move this to the unattended subforum ?? :blushing::blushing::blushing:

i've noted 100mb disk space change in my iso from non-sp to sp2.

u can manually look at sp2.exe (with winrar) or extract it completely and

look for the files u've changed.

I think it either doesn't modify the dosnet.inf or txtsetup.sif it either adds new stuff at the end (I doubt so).

I mean if it was to overwrite the dosnet and txtsetup it probably wouldn't brag about the intel codecs that comes with sp1. (if u put sp2 on a sp1 cd u'll encounter a problem saying about 7 files related to intel codec is not found.) daa don't know

anyways just extract the files from the WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe and cut and paste them to your non-sp i386 folder and do not overwrite the old files. after that the remained of files will be the changed ones. .....

@XtremeMaC i hadn't think on that... good idea dude :D

@gamehead200 ok it's only that i wanted to post this on the unattended forum but anyway it's well placed here :D

anyone can confirm if for example dosnet.inf it's overwriten or it's only modified... and what about the aditional size from sp1 to sp2...
