I used HFSLIP 1.6.2 to slipstream all hotfixes, IE6, WMP9, DX9c into Windows 2000.

After stripping Windows 2000 down a little with nLite (just unneeded languages and
the upgrade option etc) I got an error saying it cannot copy this file:

sqlsoldb.chm

Sure enough, sqlsoldb.chm was not in the I386 folder.

That file is only 28Kb (sqlsoldb.ch_) so i just put it in the I386 folder from my full Windows 2000.

BTW, thats some amazing work on HFSLIP TommyP

Are you referring to the list on FDV's site?

sqlsoldb.chm is not included on the FDV site.

I don't have sqlsoldb.chm in my 2000 i386 folder. Are you using 2000 server? Are you sure that sqlsoldb.chm is HFSLIP related? I would tend to think that it may be an NLITE issue. Can you rerun NLITE using the same settings on a copy of your source folder to see if you get the same error?

It's from MDAC 2.8 SP1.

The best way to avoid those problems is to take a look at the new TXTSETUP.SIF. Way down at the bottom there's a list of new files slipstreamed by HFSLIP with a [SourceDisksFiles] header; use that for the nLite ignore list.
