mcsuede Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 I'm wondering if there are any switches for the sp2 exe to change install options. Primarily I'm looking for an option to disable the backing up of data, it takes far too long and too much diskspace. If SP2 crashes out I'd rather just repair or clean install anyway.
Aaron Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 You can do WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe /? from either the Run box, or the Command Prompt for a list of switches.
mbouchard Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 Just do a /? on it and you will get a list of the switches. If you have it extracted do a /? on the update.exe
mcsuede Posted August 26, 2004 Author Posted August 26, 2004 Tried that, for some reason /? just starts the xp2 install process. I suppose I'll have to extract update.exe and do it on that.
Zhoerd Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 try a -x to extract and then update -s:[path to folder containing I386] to slipstream.
