mimo78 Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 I just made my windows xp with service pack 2 integrated (called slipstreaming???)anyways, I done this before with windows 2000 pro, and there I had to download the updates and install them by a cms script or by qchain tool.But it seams a** these days are over for xp anyway.When i tested my iso of xp install cd, i found out that there was 5 updatesKB834707KB873339KB885835KB886185KB885836I had a lot of trouble finding the first hotfix (kb834707) as there are different versions. anyways I started the hotfix with the /? switch to find out what commands to use for silent and noreboot, but found that the /integrate switch was now included.so to integrate the hot fix you just go:KB834707.exe /integrate:pathwhere path is like "C:\unattended\xp cd" (not includeing the i386 folder)For those who has trouble finding the right hotfixes, i did this:installed the fixes via windows update and the reboted.I then went to windows update again and chose "show install overview" (don't know if this is right (I use a danish version) but anyways you get an overview of the installed hotfixes.You can then click on the update and click on the link for help and support and you are now displayed a page with a description af the problem and the link to the patch / hotfix.When downloading the hotfixes be sure to get the right language version (default is english)hope someone finds this to be usefull, if not plez don't sue me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incroyable HULK Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 If you follow the download link provided in this post:Sticky: HOTFIXES: Win2000 SP4 – WinXP SP1 – WinXP SP2You can select the proper language from a drop down box (change language) on the download page...kind of easier than what you suggested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo78 Posted December 15, 2004 Author Share Posted December 15, 2004 chosing langi from a drop down box, is what i did anyhow.The links in the forum is actualy the same link as the hotfix itself is providing. so its forum vs. windows updateMy way is kinda easy cuz you then know what update you need(you just installed them), instead of getting them all from the forum and you just nead 2.kindly mimo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incroyable HULK Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 You are talking about one single computer already installed, not your Unattended CD.Because what we want is to integrate these hotfixes so we don't have to go to Windows Update every time we install a new computer...

Stuntgp2000 Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 @mimo78 your idea is splendid (/integrate switch)however is this switch working with XP SP1 or W2K SP4 updates ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo78 Posted December 15, 2004 Author Share Posted December 15, 2004 hmm I get you now, think I missonderstood you.You are correctI install the updates via the windows update (thats correct) after I installed (on a virtual pc) my unattended iso, butI use the information in windows update to actualy get the updates / download (again you might say)After I downloaded them, I get them from my virtual pc (connect to it via my "real pc") and then integrate them to my NEW unattended cd.I just done this and can confirm that slipstreaming or integration of the fixes work.they are not shown under windows update nomore (not as installed, because they were integrated and not as critical updates because they are installed)So now you have your fully up to date unattended cd, why else would I mention the integrate switch in the first place......hope this made my message more clearly (I am not always good at explaining stuff in english, as it's not my natual langi) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incroyable HULK Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 @mimo78Ok, now I get it! I am using a similar method to obtain the list of Hotfixes in my Sticky...@Stuntgp2000Yes, some of them can be integrated but not the majority. I tried once and I found that I didn't want to mess up my stuff as I prefer to only have one method for each system for the hotfixes installation instead of 2 or 3 ways.Win2000 = batch fileWinXP SP1 = svcpack.inf manuallyWinXP SP2 = /integrate:BTW, you can get the list of available switches for a hotfixe using /?

bucketbuster Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Please forgive me this dumb question: When using the integrate switch, where should I point it to?This-> hotfix.exe /integrate:I:\XPCDor This-> hotfix.exe /integrate:I:\XPCD\I386This is my folderstructure:I:\XPCD>dir Directory of I:\XPCD <DIR> $OEM$ <DIR> I386 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
