SP1 CD Having SP2 Slipstreaming Problems


Recommended Posts

Back when I slipstreamed my XP CD with SP1, I also slipstreamed a newer version of DirectX9. Now that I'm trying to slipstream SP2, it's giving me a couple of errors during the initial blue screen setup, complaining that it can't find or copy these files. They're DirectX files, and not too many people, in fact none that I know, have had this problem, which leads me to believe that it's directly related to me having slipstreamed a new DirectX version over my SP1 CD.

Does anyone know how I could fix this? By either removing directx and reinstalling it through the SP2 slipstream, or some other kind of workaround.

Help! I've been having this problem for a few months now! :}

You shouldn't slipstream SP2 over a slipstreamed SP1. Get the original XP CD (with no SP's or other hotfixes integrated) and slipstream SP2 into that installation. DirectX 9.0c is included with SP2, and is probably at least as current as whatever you've integrated in the past.
