[Question] Windows XP hotfixes

[Tulkens]

Hi,

I'm working on a Windows XP SP2 CD and try to slipstream all the updates into the CD. I installed my XP SP2 on a virtual machine, connected to Windows Update and wrote down all the updates.

I have 2 questions:

1) When I connect to the update site, I have to install the most recent Update software. After that I have to reboot and connect again to Windows Update after which I have to install 3 more updates (about Windows Installer and others). Do I need to slipstream these updates in my XP CD as well?

2) When I got to the actual hotfixes, I wrote down all the KB numbers and downloaded them. Next, I used Start > Run and integrated all the packages in my XP folder. However, I was not able to integrate 3 packages: KB890830, KB890046 and 885835. Any ideas how I have to slipstream these KB's in my installation?

Thanks in advance,

Milo Tulkens

P.S. I only discovered the unattend site yesterday and I'm loving it! Great work!

I don't think that it is possible.

I have learned that in Windows XP, not many things are impossible

Anyway, I downloaded 38 hotfixes and was able to integrate 35 of them, so I would be surprised if I can't integrate the last 3.

My test installation on a virtual machine is running at this moment and it's looking great

i found that using RyanVM's update packs worked the best. It contains all the hotfixes in one, easy to integrate pack. Go to

http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/updatepack.html

to find out more.

But these are executebles. Stand-alone-programms.

KB890046 should work by the way.

1. yes u have to slipstream that too

2. 890830 is not a hotfix

890046 should work

and 885835 has an issue with 885250....but it was discussed here ....

or look here: http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1163

I vote for the Ryan pack as well. There were some issues in one of the earlier versions of the packs but it seems that all has been taken care of.

If you have all your hotfixes downloaded already, why not just use HFSLIP to slipstream it all? Well, it will slipstream all but the 890830.
