Sundog Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I'm reinstalling NT after a HW failure. I have NT 4.0 installed, but with IE 2.0 I can't even get windows update to function! Does anyone have a recommended list of SP's to install? I just downloaded SP4 and I'm going to give it a shot.Any advice would be appreciated!Thanks,....jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I would install NT4, then SP6a, then the SRP (Q299444), then IE 6.0SP1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 I had sp6patch_i386.exe on a network drive and I tried to install that. I don't remember the exact verbage, but it wouldn't install. I just fired it up on another box and it says 'NT 4 SP 6.0 Setup'. I think that it complained about IE 2.0! I need to reconfigure drives to make another attempt, so maybe tonite!Thanks,....jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
os2fan2 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 You can try something like: http://nt4ref.zcm.com.au/patch.htmThis is always a good site, since it lists all of the relevant patches for NT, including some of the server -> ws mods you can do.I use a batch file to install all of these patches, eg this hfix.cmdIt goes into the root of the cdrom. Note i unpack the service pack, and a few other files (eg the server updates).If you are dual-booting, as long as you get SP6a back on before booting into Win2k or XP, all goes well. That is, install Windows NT and its service pack before booting into 2k/XP. You will need to copy the 2k/xp ntldr/ntdetect.com to get these OS's to boot properly.I have all of these files on the same cdrom as Windows NT, and i install a number of other junk also, eg hhupd140, wmi/nt, Adeptic aspi, IE5.0, etc. set hfix=\HOTFIXif exist %systemroot%\system32\qhain.exe goto :fix2if exist %systemroot%\system32\aspichk.exe goto :fix1:fix0%hfix%\nt4sp6a\update\update.exe -q -z -n%hfix%\Q299444\hotfix.exe -q -z -n%hfix%\Packed\Q304158i.exe -q -z -n%hfix%\Q810833\hotfix.EXE -q -z -n%hfix%\q815021\hotfix.EXE -q -z -n%hfix%\Q817606\hotfix.EXE -q -z -n%hfix%\Packed\Q819696i.EXE -q -z -n%hfix%\Packed\Q841373I.exe -q -z -n:: these are server updates modified for workstation.%hfix%\Q873530\hotfix.exe -q -z -n%hfix%\Q891711\hotfix.exe -q -z -n:: redist files.%hfix%\REDIST1\tweakui.exe%hfix%\redist1\aspiinst.exe silentcopy %hfix%\REDIST1\*.cpl %SystemRoot%\system32copy %hfix%\redist1\ntsubst.exe %systemroot%\system32copy %hfix%\redist1\oeminfo.ini %systemroot%\system32copy %hfix%\redist1\oemlogo.ini %systemroot%\system32copy %hfix%\REDIST1\aspichk.exe %systemroot%\system32\aspichk.exe%hfix%\IE50\ie5setup.exe /q /R:N:: qchain makes a full package%hfix%\REDIST1\qchain.exe%hfix%\redist1\reboot.exeset hfix=goto :end:fix1:: needs SP6 installed%hfix%\redist2\wmi-nt4.exe /q%hfix%\redist2\instmsiw.exe /q%hfix%\redist2\msjava86.exe /q%hfix%\redist2\hhupd140.exe /q%hfix%\redist2\jet40-kb837001-ENU.EXE /q%hfix%\redist2\WM320920_64.EXE /q%hfix%\redist1\qchain.execopy %hfix%\redist1\qchain.exe %systemroot%\system32goto :end:fix2:: this is a failsafe:end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 Thanks for the replies! I finally got everything to install correctly(kind of ).Anyway, I'm rebuilding again, and another problem. When NT install gets to the network install(after the network types to install<tcp/ip...>), the install just hangs. Any ideas?Now I'm rebuilding this machine, but it's very stable using the original NT system(switching drives). This hang has occurred 3 times! Any ideas?Thanks,....jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
