eXPerience-XP Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 I dont know about that but in most Service Packs u need to have SP 1 before u can install an SP2 Update... but i'm not sure about slipstreaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMachine Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 Service pack versions always superceed previous versions: you only need apply the latest service pack.I slipstream SP1 (not SP1a), latest hotixes, and inject the UXTHEME.DL_ that is available on the board. The only reason to do it before the SP1 slipsrteam, would be if you do not plan on installing SP1, as it will overwrite it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXPerience-XP Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 i hate it when im wrong lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devil270975 Posted September 24, 2003 Author Share Posted September 24, 2003 no what i mean is has anyone tried to take out the original uxtheme.dl_ from the slipstream directory and replace it with the hacked version before they slipstreamed?

GreenMachine Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 I'm not sure I follow. I extract and slipstream in one command, so I could not extract/replace file/slipstream. but the end result of extract & slipstream/replace file is the same, no? I would hope, using your suggested method, that the slipstreamer would notice something wrong with the file, just as XP setup does (and notes in the setuperr.txt log). Try and tell!

eXPerience-XP Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 i think this is wat u mean:1.) Slipstream the SP with the CD2.) Before Burning slipstreamed CD replace uxtheme.dl_ with the hacked onehope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devil270975 Posted September 25, 2003 Author Share Posted September 25, 2003 This is what i meani created a folder called slipstream, and then 3 subfoldersD:\SlipstreamD:\Slipstream\XPD:\Slipstream\SP1aD:\Slipstream\SP2i put my xp cd in and copied all the files to D:\Slipstream\XPnext i put my Service Pack1a cd in and extracted xpsp1a_en_x86.exe to D:\Slipstream\SP1anext i opened the folder sp1a and deleted uxtheme.dl_ and then copied the hacked version to folder sp1a then i opened a command window from the sp1a folder and typed Makecab uxtheme.dll uxtheme.dl_from that same command prompt i typed start /wait d:\Slipstream\SP1\Update\Update.exe -S:d:\Slipstream\xpwhich then slipstreamed sp1a "with the hacked version of uxtheme" into xpand low and behold the bloody thing worked, well i think, there is no errors in svcpack.txtjust gotta test it nowPlease i hope you understand this as i dont think i can make it any clearerWill keep you postedLee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMachine Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 next i opened the folder sp1a and deleted uxtheme.dl_ and then copied the hacked version to folder sp1a then i opened a command window from the sp1a folder and typed Makecab uxtheme.dll uxtheme.dl_from that same command prompt i typed start /wait d:\Slipstream\SP1\Update\Update.exe -S:d:\Slipstream\xpAhhhh that is clear! I guess you've tried it, so we will know. I do it (something) like this:from that same command prompt i typed start /wait d:\Slipstream\SP1\Update\xpsp1a_en_x86.exe -S:d:\Slipstream\xpnext i opened the folder XP and deleted uxtheme.dl_ and then copied the hacked (compressed) version to folder XPWhich, hopefully, results in the same thing. What about SP2? I hope it does not have an UXTHEME.DL_. Personally, I would not install SP1, and then SP2 except on a running configuration. In fact, every CD I make I start with the XP CD in one drive, a blank CD in another, and run one .CMD file that will rip XP, slipstream the SP in a given directory (regardless of name), slipstream the hotfixes in a given directory, integrate my own files (CMDLINES.TXT, INSTALS.CMD, IE6.1, .Net, etc.) found in a given directory, create an ISO, and burn it to CD. One click. Then again, I've been known to be a lazy dog... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devil270975 Posted September 25, 2003 Author Share Posted September 25, 2003 sp2 does have a uxtheme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMachine Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Bummer. You can try the posted hacked version, which I understand to be SP1, and see if it works anyway (put it back after SP2), wait for hacked SP2 versoin, or get out the HEX editor. Let us know if you get it working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devil270975 Posted September 25, 2003 Author Share Posted September 25, 2003 well i am back after a bsod dont know what happened? i think i will not bother to slipstream sp2v1213 "my screen keeps making funny patterns" thank heavens for my unattended xp setup disc otherwise reinstalling would have been a pain in the a$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
