New Switches and Windows ?

[RBCC]

Where do I put in hotfixes that that have these switches

/S /qn

/quiet /norestart

Also do I put the Windows XP pre Sp1 in FilesCD and XPSP2 in SPacks of the CD I got from MS?

Also is the boot.bin the boot image (duhh) ?

What if I have drivers that demand an .iss file to install silently ?

Welcome, RBCC, to MSFN!

I'm ignoring the new switches: I liked the old ones fine. Basically, the blue and white iconed hotfixes go in SVC-HF1, the others go in SVC-HF2. I mean, it isn't exactly rocket science, but it works for me.

Not sure what the CD you have from Microsoft is, so I don't know.

Some people do name the boot image boot.bin. Personally, I name it XPCTBOOT.BIN.

Don't know about .ISS files: they are not used by Microsoft for updates/fixes.

For ISS, see InstallShield

Welcome back, mdes!

I like that HF1/HF2 image: can I use it, too?

Hi GM

I'm coming back to make a XPCREATE CD starting from WIN+SP2, but I've still problem with WMP10 ("/DisallowSystemRestore " doesnot seem to work, Win asked me the question, and CDBURN doesnot want to burn my DVD: but, that's for later this week.

Yes, certainly, you can use this image

ps: I was never away, and has always an eye openned and looking at your threads.

Are we saying that XPCreate wont burn DVD's? I burned as iso with record now max and it wouldn't boot up! How come? Here is what my ini file looks like:

2 hours to merge hotfixes? Does this sound reasonable?

[GreenMachine]

I burn my images to DVD no problem ...

Two hours seems long, but it depends on your configuration, what you've included, what else is running,, etc. If it created an image that works, I would have to say "reasonable".

[mdes]

I burn my images to DVD no problem ...

OK, I will test it again (perhaps I did a mistake: DVD not erased ? )

[GreenMachine]

Actually, CDBURN will not do it, but DVDBURN will, as well as Nero, Roxio, etc. I burn the ISO to DVD using one of these, AFTER XPCREATE does it's thing.
