Sonic Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 You don't need to splitstream SP1 !!! Just SP2 is okay and more clean ...Post your TXTSETUP.SIF as attach ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonic Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 no, I don't think about winnt.sif ...The first part of the windows installation is text based ... some files are copied to the hard disk and the list of these files are listed in the TXTSETUP.SIF, so post your txtsetup.sif ... or look if win.ini or win.com are listed in your txtsetup.sif ...Moreover, you don't update any existing windows ?!
