gamehead200 Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Hey, first time poster in here actually asking a few questions:1) How can I only install my fonts?2) And will Microsoft include .NET Framework 1.1 in SP2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 use XCOPY to copy all your favourite fonts to the C:\Windows\Fonts\ folderXCOPY /Q %systemdrive%\install\fonts %systemroot%\FontsYes, MS should include Net Framework 1.1 in their next Service Pack for Windows XP hopefully.

gamehead200 Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 OK, and lets say, I didn't want to include the Owner's name, the organization's name, product key, and admin password, how could I do this in the deployment tools?Oh yea, and will all the recommended updates be included in SP2, or only the critical ones?

b0r3d Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Im pretty sure Microsoft only throws the critical updates into the service packages, and asks you to download the recommended updates separatly. But I assume you'll be able to download and install the recommended updates the same way you do with the hotfixes, so your unattended install with recommended updates shouldnt be a problem.

Aaron Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 The recommended updates become part of the service pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamehead200 Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 The recommended updates become part of the service pack.So when XP becomes slipstreamed with SP2, there will be no need to put all those hotfixes into the unattended install since it would be a waste of time!

neophyte Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 I know this is an old thread, but it came up whilst I was searching these forums, and I noticed a mistake in the original thread.Folders located within $OEM$\$1\ are not copied over when the Start Menu is being configured, but rather, are copied during the initial text based part of the XP installation process (right after all the files are copied from the i386 directory as a matter of fact).Sit down and watch it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
