Hey all,

Having a problem with the integration of two hot fixes: KB973346 and KB971032. nLite gives me a '...Hot fix integration failed!' error when it reaches each of these. I'm trying to create a fairly simple slipstream, the only drivers are RAID, tried both IE8 and IE7, verified 'read-only' is off every file, not tweaking much, verified hotfix order etc. Still no go on these two hotfixes.

Same problem here. Those two fixes fail. No other issues, though. I am using the updatepack.

Hello,

The link for the Windows 2000 DVD guide doesn't work

Thanks

Blizz: Link fixed

babudeoha and _other_:
Might I ask you two to PM each other with a list of possibly interfering software that you have installed, particularly security software and/or anything to do with the optical drives (burning programs / drivers / emulators).
Something is causing the process to fail and as most users remain unaffected it seems likely that a common program on your systems is the culprit.

Other Changes

1. Changed the default IE8 install method to 5eraph's vanilla IE8 addon (as this allows one to use the easily modified tweaks), silent install of the original Microsoft installer will continue to be supported.

2. Added details for IE6 and WMP10

3. Added torent for users of 5eraph's pack

4. Changed from eSnips to MediaFire for hosting (one can only take so many upload failures).

5. Added Adobe Shockwave (via 3rd party link) and UltraGet video downloader to the supported files list.

6. Kelsenellenelvian has put out a nice control panel bonus pack

Kurt_Aust, thanks much. I have a question. You have KB973346 in the /Hotfix and in the the Run1_XP-64.bat. I have always run it in the Hotfix section of nLite. Which place should it be? Thanks, John.

If you care to browse through the various options for Internet Explorer you will see that it's required location varies, short answer:

IE7 requires that it be at Run1, with IE8 & IE6 it can be integrated (actually svcpack), though of course they can also have it at Run1.

Kurt_Aust, you restore the Quicklauch via batchfile but the "show desktop" icon is missing.

To restore the quicklauch icon :

- copy from an exsting XP installation the file "Show Desktop.scf" as a template to quicklaunch ...
- or create a new one.

To create a "Show Desktop.scf" make a textfile with this content:

[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop

... and safe it as "Show Desktop.scf" and place it in AddOns.

Then add it to the RUN1_XP-64.BAT batchfile after :

REM fix Quick Launch toolbar (broken by IE8 installer)
MkDir "%UserProfile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch"
MkDir "%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\Default User\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch"

New:

Copy "%Source%AddOns\Show Desktop.scf" "%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\Default User\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch"
Copy "%Source%AddOns\Show Desktop.scf" "%UserProfile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch"

Full:

REM fix Quick Launch toolbar (broken by IE8 installer)
MkDir "%UserProfile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch"
MkDir "%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\Default User\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch"
Copy "%Source%AddOns\Show Desktop.scf" "%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\Default User\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch"
Copy "%Source%AddOns\Show Desktop.scf" "%UserProfile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch"

... and you are done.

To create a log file of the running of the batch file I altered the RunOnce to look like:

CMD /R %Source%Run1_XP-64.bat >"%SystemDrive%\Run1.log" 2>&1

This logs the commands and the error messages, if any, into the log file. There is no output to the monitor, but the output from the installers and other running programs continue. Enjoy, John.

[Kurt_Aust]

Genu: Are you finding that the show desktop icon is missing after a clean install using this guide? Is so please attach your last session.ini as the reason those commands are there is to fix the error with the show desktop icon.

JohnHC: Yes I looked at the option of creating a log file in just that manner, but decided that it was more important to provide visual feedback to any watching user.

As a sidenote : i use seraphs ie8 with no tweaks.

Kurt, I do believe that the likliest common piece of software we are using is Windows * x86. The only way I could get those hotfixes to successfully integrate was to run nlite on a x64 machine.

[Kurt_Aust]

Genu:
I did a test using your last session.ini, but the "show desktop" icon was there for me. 5eraph has indicated that he should be able to resume work on his update packs soon and that he will be implementing a separate fix for this issue, maybe that will work for you.

I did however note that you have an erroneous hotfix in your list, "120-WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB956744-x64-ENU.exe" is only for users of 5eraph's update pack, those using the original Microsoft hotfixes need to place "WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB956744-x64-ENU.exe" at RunOnce.

_other_:
This guide should still work without such problems on a x86 machine, I tested it a couple of times on a horrible old klunker of a Win 2000 box when I was confirming that SP2 could be integrated using the files from 2K3 x86 SP2. Also there have been 150 downloads of the files required for integrating SP2 so at least that many have run the process on a x86 box.

Do the actual executable files for KB971032 et al get copied to \AMD64\SVCPACK when you run the process on your x86 box?

None of the hotfixes I listed are included in \AMD64\SVCPACK in any form. I'm not intergrating SP2 because I'm starting from a SP2a source disc. I've tried this on three different XP x86 macines including one with a fresh install and only the post SP3 critical patches (built with nlite) with no luck.

[Kurt_Aust]

_Other_:

I've done a few VM tests and I see what you mean, I suspect that it is the result of an x86 OS not being able to determine which x64 hotfixes cannot be integrated and instead must be executed at T-13.

Try the following:
1. Run the process as normal (yes, you'll get errors)
2. At step 9 also copy the hotfix directory across
3. Use the updated attached Run1_XP-64.bat (remove the .txt extension)

If it works I'll update the guide over the weekend.

Thanks Kurt,

The batch file worked well with a couple minor exceptions:

1) For me, the following hot fixes don't fail in nlite and were therefore redundant: 024 (KB923789), 120 (KB956744) and 148 (KB954459).
2) I received a cmd syntax error on 024 (flashplayer). I'm guessing it doesn't support one or both of the switches.

After installation I ran Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer with the September catalog file (this is a network isolated machine) and it showed no critical updates missing (except KB890830 of course).

Thanks for all your work on this guide!

@Kurt_Aust,
I just found this thread today. So far, I am impressed. I have not tried it, yet. But, I will tomorrow. That is, after I have looked over the scripts. At first glance they look good.
I have all of the hotfixes, etc and I am able to seed your torrents. I don't have a lot of bw, but every little bit, right?

Question (Tried to search for the answer).

How close is this guide to working on an x86 OS?
I want to set one up starting with a XP x86 SP3 CD.

At the very least, how did you get a listing of all of the available updates?

Thanks.

The technique isnearly the same, the patches and hotfixes are different of course.
In general Unattended Windows helps and there is an article Getting the hotfixes or you may have a look into this thread.

[Kurt_Aust]

Updated Guide and Run1_XP-64.bat to deal with hotfixes not being set to execute from SVCpack when the process is run under x86 Windows.

Genu:
Yes I know about the SPTD update, but as the changelog indicates that the only modifications have been Win7 compatibility fixes, I don't see any need to add support for it into the batch files over the one that can be extracted from the actual daemon tools installer..
