There is a screenshot heavy version of this post for members of PlanetAMD64 (generous attachment policy). The screenshots are available from my eSnips page.
Some of you might also be interested in this similar guide for Windows 2000.

So you want to create a fully up to date Windows XP Professional x64 edition installation DVD ? Well here's how (updated for June).

There are several options as to how to configure your install media, you can:
A) Use Microsoft hotfixes or 5eraph's update packs
B} Use Internet Explorer 8 or Internet Explorer 7
C) Install .Net 3.5 sp1 or just .Net 2.0 sp2
This guide will first list the files needed for Microsoft hotfixes, IE8 & .Net 3.5 and then note the changes required to use the other options.

So you are going to need some files:

From this page's attachments, the Config_XP-64_date.zip file and extract it, this will also setup the necessary directory structure. The archive contains:

\Run1_XP-64.bat (install .Net 3.5/2.0, DirectX redist, IE8 and some applications)
\Run2_XP-64.bat (second pass of application installs)
\WinUp.lnk (bug fix, launch IE at https://update.microsoft.com directly)
\AddOns\Access *.lnk
\AddOns\ChOwn*.bat (optional files for running as a limited user)
\AddOns\Grant_Access.txt
\AddOns\klmcp.ini (config file for K-Lite mega codec pack installation)
\AddOns\MenuReorg.bat (optional menu & desktop cleanup)
\AddOns\qtlite.ini (config file for QuickTime alternative lite installation)
\AddOns\Tweak UI.lnk
\Misc\Hotfix_XP-64_date.torent (hotfixes, duh)
\Misc\Run*_XP-64.bat (optional additional install passes)
\Misc\UpdatePrep.bat (renames files and deletes outdated hotfixes)
\Misc\WinXP-64.ini (nLite session file)


Note on colour codes:
% means that you must directly download this file yourself, this is because it either:
A) is simply huge (Service Pack 2, .Net Framework 3.5 sp1 and DirectX redist) or
B} requires validation (Media Player 11) or
C) is an optional component (Internet Explorer 7, .Net Framework 2.0 sp2)
MD5 and SHA-1 checksums are provided.
@ means that the file is available in the 7-Zip archives available at eSnips and as a part of the torent.
# means that in order to save time (honest, it will take forever) and my bandwidth you should directly download this file but it's also in the torent.
▼ is a direct link to the executable

To save on click fatigue 2 7-Zip archives are available of the smaller hotfixes at eSnips, extract them into the same directory that you chose to extract the Config archive into. The archives won't necessarily be updated every month, only when there is a deletion and/or several new small hotfixes.

For returning users updating their hotfix list a torent is available containing all but 4 of the Microsoft downloads (all but SP2, .Net 3.5/2.0, DirectX & WMP11). As (due to my upload limitations) it won't exactly be Speedy Gonzales (expect about 2KB/s, 47 hours for full download), you are recommended to at least directly download the current IE7 cumulative update.

Run the UpdatePrep.bat file in the \Misc directory before opening the Hotfix torent, this will remove any outdated hotfixes. The torent is also useful for checking that you have all the downloads and that they aren't corrupted. It is important to note that the tracker's IP address is at least nominally dynamic (static for months at a time though), so if you can't connect for more than a day PM me. The 7zip archive and torent also contain:

At \AddOns
SubInACL.exe [290,304]
SubInACL.htm [89,886] (both extracted from subinacl.msi)
TweakUIPowertoySetup_amd64.exe [164,920] (also available from this post's attachments)

Note as to format, the trailing number in [] is obviously file size while the leading number is to ensure that they are integrated in the same order that Windows Update would install them. The large gaps in number are so that any future changes can be inserted into the hotfix torent without requiring name changes, re-ordering or re-downloading files.

Whether or not you prefer to directly download all the hotfixes, UpdatePrep.bat will rename the files as appropriate. If you've chosen to include all optionals \Hotfix should have 52 files [200,215,800].

Of course you won't get very far without nLite (v1.47 or later), Boooggy's WMP11 slipstreamer (v1.2 or later) and a Windows XP pro x64 install CD.


5eraph's XP Pro x64 post sp2 & IE8 update packs
Rather than using the original Microsoft hotfixes, you can instead use the update packs maintained by 5eraph over at the RyanVM forums, they include all of the high priority updates as well as a few extras. If using 5eraph's packs the required files are:

At \Misc: Unchanged from above
At \WMP11: Unchanged from above

At \Hotfix:
5eraph's XP Pro x64 post sp2 update pack
5eraph's Internet Explorer 8 update pack
Optionally 5eraph's (easily customizable) IE8 tweaks

At \RunOnce:

Once again there is an archive with the smaller hotfixes at eSnips.

Now it's time to fire up nLite (NB: must be run with administrator privileges, might need to disable anti-virus software, Vista users should run in XP compatability mode).

1. Locate your source.

2. Slipstream service pack 2 then exit nLite (if nLite is open it can interfere with the WMP11 slipstreamer).
Special note for users of 32-bit operating systems. You cannot slipstream Service Pack 2 as is (due to it being a 64-bit executable), instead you must do the following:
A) First check that the files in your nLite working directory do NOT have their Read-Only attribute set, if so clear it.
B} Extract WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB914961-SP2-x64-ENU.exe with 7-Zip or WinRAR.
C) Download from my eSnips page the Update.7z archive (contains files from the 32-bit version of Service Pack 2 for Windows Server 2003).
D) Extract Update.7z into the \AMD64\Update folder of the extracted x64 Service Pack 2, replacing the existing files.
E) nLite will warn that you cannot integrate 64-bit service packs from within a 32-bit enviroment, proceed anyway (just say no).
F) Finally when integrating the Service Pack you need to navigate to the AMD64\Update folder and select the Update.exe file.


3. Whoa there Tex, it's time to get down and Boooggy. The WMP11 slipstreamer is fairly self explanatory, just target your working directory, the WMP11 install file and the 7 hotfixes in the WMP11 directory, then hit the integrate button. If you encounter a problem that you think might be WMP11 slipstreamer related, you can instead copy the WMP11 folder to your working directory at step 9.

4. If you are planning to experiment, now is the time to backup your working directory. Then it's time to fire up nLite again (my session file is located at \Misc, you may wish use it as a base).

5. Add all the hotfixes listed in the \Hotfix directory (use Crtl-A, check the order).

6. Add any drivers you may need, especially textmode SATA & RAID drivers (Intel, nVidia). I've found that 7-Zip will extract some things WinRAR won't.

7. Unattended settings, this is the most important one. Your RunOnce file should look like this:

You should also set it to autologon twice to an administrator class account (read the note), fully automated mode would be an excellent idea Smithers. The TimeOut is to avoid a "Device not Ready" error. If you need to load drivers from a floppy then read the note on the general tab about OEM Preinstall.

8. Make any tweaks you want, then run the process.

9. Copy all the files and folders that you have downloaded, except those at \Hotfix, \Misc and \WMP11 to your nLite working directory, maintaining the directory structure (\AddOns contains optional files).

10. After you drag n drop anything else that you may want / need, go ahead and burn that image / DVD.



Installation:
If you have gone for the fully unattended option, then all you have to do is let it be for roughly 1 1/2 hours (assuming lots of AddOns). The system will be ready for use when a logon box is waiting for your input. The only high priority download available will be the "Malicious Software Removal Tool" (none if using 5eraph's pack).


Application AddOns:
nLite supports the use of application addon .cab files at the hotfix integration step, however I do not recommend their use as the file associations don't register with XP x64 (OK with x86 Windows). You should instead edit Run1_XP-64.bat or Run2_XP-64.bat to call the standard enduser installer with the appropriate silent install switches. Currently the following applications will be installed if they are copied to \AddOns (7-Zip & HashTab strongly recommended):

Tweak UI, requires 7-Zip
HashTab
7-Zip Needed for Daemon Tools, Tweak UI, Open Office configuration options, Comodo Firewall, VirtualBox & VMware drivers

K-Lite Codec Pack 64-bit Requires Visual C++ 2005 (from RunOnce)
Save2PC lite
Windows Defender . Detection update integration supported
Spybot: Search & Destroy . Detection update integration supported
Avast Anti-Virus . Detection update integration supported
Comodo Firewall, two options, see below
VirtualBox Additions, requires 7-Zip
VMware Tools, requires 7-Zip (seeing a pattern?)

Check to see that the version numbers match, also some files have been renamed to clarify what the executable is (Avast Anti-Virus, VirtualPC 2007). Another option is to strip the actual executable out of the various AddOns created by others (copying the file to \Addons) and then adding the appropriate command to the batch files. The executables have usually been repacked as silent installers, but be sure to read the entries*.ini file to confirm this.

You can have as many application install reboot passes as desired. To do this simply set the system to auto-logon (in step 7) as many times as required and place the appropriate number of batch files in the root directory of your install media. The first 5 batch files are already written (at \Misc) with the needed handover command, but if you need more they are fairly self explanatory. Be sure to install security software (esp. Comodo Firewall) last.

Comodo Firewall, in the absence of useful silent install switches the following options are provided:
A) Use the older stable v3.0.25.378 firewall (only), it will default to safe mode on both firewall and defence+
B} Use the current version with a very basic, push the buttons, AutoIt script for firewall only, no AV, D+, ThreatCast or toolbars.


Optional components (currently SubInACL/ChOwn & TweakUI):
Any small (<2MB) but useful optional components will be placed in the \AddOns directory. The batch files will be written to support their installation if \AddOns is copied to the nLite working directory.

SubInACL is a command line utility meant for network administrators, but it can be useful to us mere mortals as it makes running as a limited user possible. Using the "Access *" shortcuts I only have to logon as the Administrator about once a fortnight. Since I started setting up my friend's computers this way I haven't had to deal with the "I cancelled a print job and now my printer is gone" (they deleted the printer) or "Why do I get all these annoying pop-ups" (opened Amazing_Photos.vbs) type service calls. How many of us can truly say they have never clicked the wrong button or typed the wrong command? Remember, the neck you save might just be your own.

TweakUI is a unofficial Microsoft powertoy that acts as a one stop shop for User Interface configuration. This is the (hard to find) x64 version, digitally signed though. As there are no silent install switches, you must include 7-Zip for automated install.


Testing:

I use VMware Server 1.0.x for testing purposes, it's free but has some limitations (no default sound for one) and requires registration. Before downloading and installing, use this tool to ensure that your processor will support 64-bit guests.

VMware Server 1.0.x hints:
1. Silent installation of Virtual Machine extensions is supported, once VMware server is installed there will be a file "windows.iso" at "\Program Files (x86)\VMware\server", copy it to \AddOns in your nLite working directory (requires 7-zip).
2. To enable sound you will have to integrate the VMaudio driver (3rd party signed version) with nLite at step 6 of the process AND once you have completed the New Virtual Machine wizard, choose VM >> Settings >> Hardware >> Add >> Sound Adapter.
3. (v1.0.5 & earlier) When booting up the Virtual Machine choose VM >> Send Ctrl-Alt-Del (or hit Ctrl-Alt-Insert) and then quickly click your mouse inside the VM and hit F2, this will allow you to access the VM BIOS (it usually flashes by way too fast), you can then alter the boot sequence so that it always boots off the CD first.
4. Do NOT install VMware server within VMware server.


Another option is VirtualBox 2.2.x, not as advanced as VMware server but smaller (62MB vs 147MB) and doesn't require registration.

VirtualBox 2.2.x hints:
1. Silent installation of Virtual Machine extensions is supported, once VirtualBox is installed there will be a file "VBoxGuestAdditions.iso" at "\Program Files\Sun\xVM VirtualBox", copy it to \AddOns in your nLite working directory (requires 7-zip).
2. On the machine setting page you will need to enable ACPI, IO APIC and VT-x/AMD-V.
3. In order to have a usable VirtualBox when you first logon to each account you should go [Start >> Control Panel >> System >> Advanced >> Performance Settings] and deselect the three options under Visual Effects that begin with "Fade ...".
4. Do not install Daemon Tools, Comodo Firewall can block detection of network cable connection & AutoIt scripts can be unreliable.

Finally there is VMware Server 2.0.x, but I haven't tried this one and the huge 507MB download might scare some people off.

get down and boooggy?
hehehehehe
nice tutorial................

Major change: Dumped Weed's Windows Defender AddOn (30/1/07) for the current Microsoft installer (23/5/07), also added support for integration of latest definition updates on OS installation.

Minor changes:
Details on Hotfix 800 -> "Remote Desktop Connection (Terminal Services Client 6.0)"
Added more info to OpenOfficeDocIcon.reg
Added support for Avast definition updates
Minor typos

October updates

Deletion:
Hotfix\110-IE7-WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB937143-x64-ENU.exe

175-IE7-WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB939653-x64-ENU.exe [36,590,472]

There is now a .7z archive at eSnips with all of the smaller (<8MB) hotfixes.

Hi there,

one possible really dumb question but why can't I create a DVD like this on a non 64bit windows?

Can I even change anything within my Windows XP x64 cd version with Nlite or will this always lead to a non working installation CD?

I tried all of the above steps within a Windows XP 32 bit and always get a bluescreen when the setup loader tries to start windows (installer).


Greets,

Broken

The main reason it won't work is that service pack 2 won't slipsteam on a 32 bit platform. You might be able to make changes to the setup files and integrate drivers, but adding hotfixes would probably cause it to fail.

Thanks a lot Kurt_Aust, I was looking for a way to practice some x64 'nliteing', this is perfect. Really good work here.

November Updates

Addition:
Hotfix\230-WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB943460-x64-ENU.exe [24,192,560]

Also added support for dotNET\KB934238 x64 [4,414,800] Forum Thread

Great job! This was exactly what I have been looking for.

Quick question...

How does the 64-bit xp performance compare to 32-bit xp? I know early on there were major driver issues and such, but I can't really find and recent reviews to see how things are going.

EDIT:

Meant performance-wise as far as games and programs go.

This post has been edited by chewy: Nov 25 2007, 11:26 AM

Well, the reviews I've seen (mainly on Planet AMD64) show no significant difference performance wise.

Some benchmarks are slightly faster on x64 XP, marginally more are slightly slower, but in most cases the difference is less than 5% either way.

So the answer to your implied question is that performance is not a reason to use x64 XP, but it's also not a reason to not use it.

x64 Pros: Better security, better stability

x64 Cons: Lower compatibility both Hardware (improving) and Software (esp. no 16 bit subsystem).


Actually, the inability to play really old games (i.e. Civ2) is what lead to this project, in a very convoluted way.

File numbering sequence has been reordered, returning users must run UpdatePrep.bat to bring it back into line (it seems that the taskbar version of Windows Update installs hotfixes in a different order than the Internet Explorer based one).

Changed Open Office install method to one that gives end user more options but requires the installation of 7-Zip.

Added option for second pass of application installs.

Thanks for this guide. It is really helpful and exactly what I am looking for.

There are some minor issues though with slipstreaming hotfixes using nLite

240# KB942763 - Timezone update
280# KB941569
800# KB925876

Failed for direct integration method (I got a dialog) Then I selected use "svcpack" integration but those attempts by nLite failed too

Bytheway while slipstreaming IE7 I got some dialogs if I wanted to overwrite a existing file with an older version :S

Could you help me? What causes these failures ??

Thanks
HJW

EDIT: Everything works fine when integrating under X64-Operating System.

Hi all,

In addition to this guide I want to add a few things. I use those to make my X64-CD even more up2date.

Hi Kurt_Aust and thanks a million for this how-to.

I have a question that might seem stupid, but I see that the updates in the \Hotfix folder start and 020-Win*, do we have to download previous updates (ie from 001 to 019) or are these superseded?

Thanks again for your effort and best regards

GB

There are (to the best of my knowledge) no Microsoft updates that start with such a number, the names displayed in the download list are the result of commands like the following:
Rename ..\Hotfix\WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB*-x64-ENU.exe xxx-WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB*-x64-ENU.exe

Files in the .7z archive and the torr-ent <<[and how can that be flagged as a swear word?] have already been renamed, running UpdatePrep.bat will rename any you downloaded.

The only purpose of the leading number is to ensure that they are integrated in the same order that Windows Update would install them and even of those, only having IE7 first seems to be absolutely critical.


The update list in the first post is current for the month mentioned (currently Feb 07).
