fragbert Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Hello, after following the instructions on the unattended guide to integrate SP2 into Office 2003 (which works and installs fine) the last steps to integrate any hotfixes (in this case, three patches released after SP2) fail to slipstream. I even extracted each hotfix and slipstreamed them one by one rather than using the .cmd's offered on the Office 2003 section of the guide and it still would not integrate (MS update still marks these three fixes as critical updates to download).The three post-SP2 hotfixes are:KB892843KB905648KB907417Any ideas? Is there a new method to install O2K3 hotfixes post-SP2?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueSpear Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I believe that they ARE slipstreaming. I think the problem is either a bug in MS Update or the slipstreaming process isn't importing the registry entries to indicate that they're installed. Testing all of this out has been on my to do list for a while now, but it's just always being shoved aside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fragbert Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 (edited) I believe that they ARE slipstreaming. I think the problem is either a bug in MS Update or the slipstreaming process isn't importing the registry entries to indicate that they're installed. Testing all of this out has been on my to do list for a while now, but it's just always being shoved aside.PROBLEM SOLVED - editing the .ini for each hotfix so that IsNormalUpdate=0 fixed the issue. It seems with these new post SP2 hotfixes that you must specify that these are being integrated into administrative install points, else the hotfix will install in "normal" mode.Problem NOT solved. Crap still happens. Edited March 10, 2006 by fragbert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZileXa Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 How come I read averywhere you MUST use the FULL SP2? I succesfully slipstreamed my Dutch Office2003 pro with SP2 CLIENT. shrinked/installed/worked perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can even verify the files were patched and updated, but still Microsoft Update claims that the hotfixes still need to be downloaded and installed. My guess is that it's a Microsoft Update issue as opposed to the .msp files not slipstreaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fragbert Posted March 10, 2006 Author Share Posted March 10, 2006 I tried MS's official newsgroups and surprisingly nobody there had an answer. Anybody still have these problems like me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
