Simple 2KCREATE does not work

[MtK]

Hi,

I downloaded the latest XPCREATE in order to make a Win2K CD.

I changed the XPCREATE.INI (see attach)

ran XPCREATE to see it downloads the hotfixes to directories that do not exist...

On a second run, I tried running it without pre-downloading the hotfixes &

DLAUTO=NO

so it has automaticly created all the directories but nothing to be slipstreamed...(which is OK)

(btw, I found some mismatch between the list on site, & actual auto-downloads)

On a third run, I set back the Auto-Download, to download everything (except SP4 which is already Slipstreamed & recognized) including IE.

The installation went smoothly, but I have somethings that don't work:

• 1. can't see the IE version, in the about window
  
• 2. can't let Windows Update check my pc
  
• 3. no WMP was installed
  

(didn't check more than that)

what have I done wrong?

XPCREATE.INI

the auto-dl list might not be up to date if some are missing dl them manually.

I run XPC with my 2000 already on the hd.

For the IE6 dl the util from here:

I hope this helps if not let me know.

here is mine

@BaTLeZone:

1. Auto-DL: which one is more updated, Auto-DL or list on site?

2. IE: the Auto-DL downloads and repacks the IE, isn't it good enough?

3. INI: youwre not using Auto-DL, it means you've created the folders & downloaded every hotfix manualy?

10x,

1) the list on the site (I help GM with it)

2) should be, but at the time I did mine I was not aware of the auto-dl so I did it manually.

3) I did have it auto when I 1st started then I trurned it off do to so many new update and GM had not have time to update the list i did not want to keep getting the old ones.

when xpcreat is 1st run it should create all the folders for u then u put in your stuff (like the OEM) and run it again and away it went.

I don't know about missing Updates, cause I can't enter WindowsUpdate or IE to check...

If I let XPC Download&Run by itself, what could have gone wrong?

[MtK]

well, after taking IESP1 & IESTART from a friend who already have this working, the Win2k installation went successfully...

I do have missing things:

• 1. 837272 listed on the site didn't installed (apperently my mistake taking 9X version)
  
• 2. 818043 (L2TP/IPSec NAT-T) - is not listed (needs manual download from WU), can it be integrated (where should I put it)?
  
• 3. .NET SP1 - not listed, can it be integrated (where should I put it)?
  

beside that, every thing work just fine...

now, I can move to other installations (apps & tweaks) - will report as soon as possible...

Glad to here u have it working now.

1) 837272 did u get the right one now?

2) have not had this one come up before i'll have to look into it.

3) goes in SVC-MSX ok?

@MtK:

1) You must have the wrong version.

2) I don't believe it is still "required": I will be updating the 2K Hotfix list soon.

3) There are a few threads here about this: Did you read them? ...

Thanks for helping out, BaTLeZone!

ADD SVC-HF1\Q818043_W2K_SP5_x86_EN.EXE http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/Q818043_W2K_SP5_x86_EN_8771f25008d3c5f8c7aa577b615f619.EXE 78f236dca70837f0e0b7e271762b1d66

@GM

Windows Update Web site claims Q818043 as recommended update on my latest 2KCreate build if i remove the HF from the list before running XPCREATE.

I'm still not sure about the hotfix lists, but I am working on them now. I will first update the Current Hotfixes list on the Web Site.
