Do you want some1 to create IE Slipstreamer?

Just call it a wild shot in the dark, but i think he's hoping for the latter

You know, that was my suspicion too

It's one thing to come to a forum as the new guy and say "I was thinking this should be done, so I went ahead and tried it. Here's my results." It's a completely different thing to come to a forum and say "This is a good idea, you guys should do this." If you want something done, do it yourself. It's the only way anything will ever get done.

well i am only doing this on a forum becaue i can only do simple programing that why i'm ask some to do it for me.

will you pay me?

programmatically, it's would be difficult, and at best just a simple batch could do it just fine (IE6 anyway, DX9 might need more work). Why you people want a GUI for something good ol' fashion DOS could do is beyond me. Give me command-line.

But seriously, it is kinda rude to ask someone to make a program for you without compensation. Now if they were going to make it anyway, that's another thing, or they've already made it. But to ask someone to make a complex program for you.....

But MAYBE after I'm done with Winamp MSI, I'll work on a batch code to accomplish this, based on the afformention link (the topic by tommyp) but it will have bugs to begin with (lots of them) because I don't know how to edit txtsetup.sif automatically without doing alot of loops and such.

It isn't that hard to do with command lines, but I don't think I'm really capable of doing it all in one big script (cmd) file (I'm not a computer guru when it comes to programming like that). Bilou Gates started doing some commandlines, but it appears that his efforts moved somewhere else. If anyone is going to step up to the plate, I can forward some of the scripts that I did come up with to at least do the IE6 stuff (as long as I get some sort of credit).

When I did that posting a while back, I thought it would have received better fanfare from the community being a real way to slipstream IE6 as opposed to running an exe file at the end. Whatevs. I still think it's a great way to install windows. If any of you guys ran a w2k installation, take a look at the size of the i386+critical updates+dx9+ie6 files/folders. The method in my link is 80 meg less and it installs in 5-10 minutes less time than the traditional way. Like I said before, once the IE6 is integrated, the rest (critical updates) is a piece of cake. The only file in my svcpack folder is dx9c. The remainder of the ~28 critical updates is integrated without any commandline switches (because all the dlls and exes are already packed into the distribution folder). According to windowsupdate, hfnetcheck and baseline security analyzer, all patches/updates are installed. Once a new critical update comes around, all I have to do is expand the update and swap the required DLLs and EXEs into the i386 folder and apply an inf file. How easy is that? I got a little ambitious and integrated the new xml stuff too (without it the baseline analyzer was complaining that it needed some system update).

I'm sure dx9c is integratable, but I think it's more regedits than anything else. Take a gander at the XP2 expanded installer and the expanded DX9 cabs and you'll see what I mean.

On a sidenote, my nlited W2K i386 folder is 126meg which includes IE6 & hotfixes.

well widows 2k dosen't take up much on cd onl takes up 338 Mbs i think that not much so if some1 just did a slipstream for IE 6 SP1 i think i would better if you did include IE 6 in ur nlite so that it's on the compuer with out just installing it ur self i'm not capable of hard program so i need some to do it for me thanx

beggar

I read all about unattended, and understood about 50% of it, but I managed to do it all myself

Maybe reading instructions for a while would help things sink in.

Plus a little trial and error is good learning experience

[Alanoll]

On second thought, it just got pushed back for me to even attempt such a program. Gotta update the Unattended Website first...

But for me to consider when that's done...I'd need some grammar.

[Astalavista]

alanoll looks like u need some bling bling..

Guys especially the new guys... pls buy CDRW disc. it not use VM.
