Integrating Hotfixes ? Integrating .net And Jview?

[Honnes]

Hi all,

I got the task to create a slipstreamed cd with all hotfixes integrated and some programms.

I just bumped on this forum a week or something ago and i have created some up-to-date cds, but i encountered some problems.

I've searched for a lot of stuff on this forum, but i find so much information that it just drives me crazy

Thats why i created a new topic and hope to get some answers if possible

Info:

Using: Windows 2000 Professional

Integrated: Service Pack 4

Loose files: Lot of hotfixes

Prob: integrating hotfixes

Used sites: unattend.msfn.org / forum here / links to other sites / google

I was wondering if i there are switches for the hotfixes so i can integrate them into the windows files from cd, saving a lot of space. I mean integrating like you can integrate a servicepack with the /s or /integrate into the core of the files. I got a lot of hotfixes and they do take a lot of space and some of them won't even install without user confirmation (Journal view and NET 1.1 SP1). Does anyone know how to integrate those hotfixes ? Using Nlite doesn't sound bad, but a lot of hotfixes won't be integrated.

Summary: Is there a switch so i can integrate hotfixes into windows files ?

My 2nd question is somewhat a continue on the previous one. I looked around the forum for the NET 1.1 Service Pack 1 (with language pack if possible) and Journal View, on how to integrate them. I also bumbed on Ryans' site, but the link to the file did not work. The same thing goes to Journal viewer.

Maybe its better to install Journal viewer with RunOnce, cause it needs no updates and so on, so that would not be a big prob. (using .msi or .exe /switch)

I could also do this for Net 1.1, but then i don't have the language pack and the latest hotfix installed.

Summary: How can i integrate NET 1.1 SP1 + hotfix (+language pacK) and Journal view (maybe runonce is better)?

ps: Found this link for Net 1.1 + SP 1 -- http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=26304&st=230

I've created the file, will test it soon !

I found this link for slipstreameing IESP1 and other stuff after searchin' for a couple of hours http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=32125 It contains info for both win2k and winXP. I'll try that one later this afternoon.

Ok...i now think i have found enough information, and started some work arounds...

I see a bit of a problem now...i want to integrate hotfixes and found some hotfixes containing a UNIPROC dir. Thats not a problem at all, but the big problem is, all those dirs contain the same files...those of the .dll arent a problem, i'll just grab the latest version...but what about the win32 file ???

[/edit3]

Any help is appreciated.

Kind regards,

Honnes

download Astalavista's integrated package (1.1 + SP1 + hotfix + various language packs)

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=38681

Its a silent install so you'll see nothing onscreen as it installs.

Although the link you found gives you a better idea about integrating JView too, it does not include the KB886903 hotfix. It should be simple to add it to the code though.

Anyone confused about the relevance of Honnes link - the actual post he's refering to is http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...ndpost&p=197673

Thanks for your link, i am dutch and well...guess what i can download there

I have also checked the other link and see another method of including Jview and so on...but doesnt that cost to much memory, cause i already got some errors while testing it with the normal files.

About the hotfixes, are there any special switches so i can integrate them into the core files of the win2k files or should i use the 7-zip method (http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=39048) ?

Also, i was searching for something for integrating Internet Explorer Service Pack 1 into win2k SP4. I have read that i can do this with the administrative kit, haven't tryed it, but so far i read you can only install ie6 sp1 that way. Any feedback would be helpfull, will try it now and post what i've accomplished !

Any comments, feedback, help and suggestions are welcomed.
