Hey guys, he is the op...

I just got volunteered to create a cd that has XPSP2 upgrade on it, and will install with the user merely inserting the cd and the autorun kicks in. SO, I have d/led the full XPSP2 from M$ and created an autorun.inf file and placed it in the root of the cd along with the XPSP2 file. here is my orginal autorun:

[Autorun]

OPEN=xpsp2.exe /passive /forcerestart /n /f

[Autorun.x86]

OPEN=xpsp2.exe /passive /forcerestart /n /f

This works like a champ. Does not have any problems installing the service pack, reboots the system, and only displays the progress bar. Now for the problem. I was informed that some of our workstations that are limited on hdd space, this config will blow up due to it actually extracting the service pack onto the hdd. So, I tried extracting the sp to a seperate folder and creating the following autorun.inf:

[Autorun]

OPEN=update\update.exe /passive /n /f /forcerestart

[Autorun.x86]

OPEN=update\update.exe passive /n /f /forcerestart

Doing this pops up the dialog box with the command line instructions for the service pack every time. i have even tried it with \update\update.exe with the switches and no love. If anyone has a fix or another way of doing this, please, hook me up. Thanks in advance.
