Hey guys,

First post :D

I found this guide to making an unatended installation and it tells how to slipstream an sp into the cd files (http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=1703&page=3) but does anyone know how I can slipstream DirectX into it?

Also, I was wondering how I could slipstream a hotfix in there, in particular the MSBlaster one...

I tried to do both of them, using a modification of the method described at that link, but am unsure as to wether it worked....

Cheers

Namely, I did:

update -u -n -o -z -q -s:D:\bootcd\working

under which no window showed itself...

dxsetup -z -q -s:D:\bootcd\working

in which the dxsetup came up, but it looked normal so I am unsure of whether it went to the right dir....

oh whoops... I should have googled this first before I posted.... :blushing:

*searches google*

OK,

Did a bit of reading...

Saw that you have to use cmdlines.txt or some crap, cant be bothered doing that, so my question now is.... oh... the same...

can i slipstream hotfixes and dx9 into the install like i have already done with SP4 (win2k)?

no way to slipstream DX9. You have to use cmdlines.txt to initiate normal DX installation during windows setup. You have to use the /opk switch for quiet installation. I've attached a cracked dxsetup.exe which accepts the /opk switch.

Rename the dxsetup.txt to dxsetup.rar ;)

I succeeded into slipstreaming several hotfixes, but not all of them.

for integrating I use XPCREATE. this is the bes soft for the purpose IMO.

The rest of the hotfixes I start from cmdlines.txt with these switches: "/Q /N /Z"

dxsetup.txt
