How to create a fully slipstreamed Windows NT 4 Service Pack Everything After 6 / Unofficial 7

March 6, I am pretty much done.

Bearwindows did a LOT of work already -- but all of this comes before doing his process.
Thanks to Nateklomp for his links, which I grabbed from his post -- much appreciated.

1. We’re going to assume the use of NT Server.

2. Get the Service Pack and hotfixes:

q243649 is supposedly contained in q299444, the Rollup, but you need one file from it.
Random note, because you might need to know this:
The last publicly available versions of NTKRNLMP.EXE and NTOSKRNL.EXE are both version 4.0.1381.7268 from 11-Oct-2004 and are found in hotfix 885835, which is listed above. I am not aware of a more recent version, including nonpublic fixes.

3. Get some Microsoft libraries and add-ons:

 
[url="http://www.download.com/Microsoft-Windows-Installer-Windows-NT-2000-/3000-2216_4-10049516.html"]Windows Installer 2.0 Redistributable[/url]
[url="http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms08-008.mspx"]OLE Automation[/url] (we will use OLEAUT32.DLL)
[url="http://support.microsoft.com/?id=932590"]MSVCRT.EXE[/url]
[url="http://support.microsoft.com/?id=259403"]MFC and OLE DLLs[/url]
Get the [url="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=4B6140F9-2D36-4977-8FA1-6F8A0F5DCA8F&displaylang=en"]InstMsiW package[/url] for Windows NT (requires validation! LOL!). It won't actually install in NT thanks to Microsoft being clever, but it doesn't matter, we're integrating it. Use something like WinRAR to extract the contents. Rename sdbapiU.dll to sdbapi.dll (delete the 'U').
Get the [url="http://download.microsoft.com/download/platformsdk/cab/2.0/w98nt42kmexp/en-us/cabsdk.exe"]CAB SDK [/url]. Extract the files into a folder called CABSDK.
[url="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/259403"]C++ runtimes.[/url] Rename atlu.dll to atl.dll and set it aside, eventually it will go directly into the SP6a folder.
 

We will NOT be slipstreaming the "Patched EXPLORER.EXE for 256 color display." Why? Because it locks the system up on install! Also, TAPI 2.1 is included as of SP4, but download it, extract tcmapp.exe, MAKECAB it, and put it aside. It won't replace anything. You don't need any other files from the TAPI 2.1 since they were all made obsolete by hotfixes.

4. Get the following files from Windows 2000:

 
cabarc.exe
cabbench.exe
cabinet.dll
cabview.dll
joystick.dll
joystick.sys
makecab.exe
ntdetect.com
ntldr
setupp.ini
 

Drag and drop cabarc.exe, cabbench.exe, cabinet.dll, cabview.dll and makecab.exe into CABSDK and replace whatever is there. The only file that should still say 1997 will be extract.exe.

5. Get the necessary third party add-ons:

 
[url="http://download.sysinternals.com/Files/PsTools.zip"]PsTools v2.44[/url]
[url="http://download.sysinternals.com/Files/Regmon.zip"]RegMon for Windows v7.04[/url]
[url="http://download.sysinternals.com/Files/Filemon.zip"]FileMon for Windows v7.04[/url]
[url="http://download.sysinternals.com/Files/ProcessExplorer.zip"]Process Explorer v11.04[/url][b][/b]
 

6. Dead links? You can also get the hotfixes at http://www.mdgx.com/wnt4.htm

7. FAT32 support. Do you really need it? Probably not. If you do, you have two choices:
7a. Winternals had a read/write driver for FAT32. When Microsoft bought them, they apparently paid those guys to kill it. If you can get it, and it is floating around, then download it. It's 4 files: chkfat32.exe, fat32.hlp, fat32.sys, and scnfat32.exe plus some reg keys.
7b. Ashedel makes two files that replace the NT4 versions that give FAT32 support.

I have tried using one, then the other, then both at the same time to try to install NT on a FAT32 drive (not just boot, but install on). It won't work. You have to install to FAT16 and convert that to FAT32 and then it will boot, but it cannot install to FAT32.

8. Extract SP6a into a folder, we’ll call it “sp6a” using the /x switch

9. Extract the post SP6a rollup files from q299444i.exe into a separate folder. Call that folder “q299444i” and use the /X switch again. Rename the BROWSER.DLL in this folder to BROWR.DLL, then rename BROWSER2.DLL to BROWSER.DLL (delete the 2).

10. Extract ALL of the REMAINING hotfixes into SEPARATE folders. Yes, I know! It's a pain in the butt! But see, here's the thing: some of the hotfixes have the same files, and if you extract into the same common folder, they will silently overwrite each other. So you would end up replacing newer files with older ones.

11. Extract ALL of the top-secret nonpublic Hotfixes you happen to have (and if you don’t have any, don’t worry about it) into SEPARATE folders. If you have nonpublic hotfix file KB872952, extract it and rename UNTFS2.DLL to UNTFS.DLL
Some of these passworded ZIP files will not be KBxxxxxx .EXE files. If they just extract the files right into the directory, that's okay.

12. Move ALL of these hotfix files, one by one, the files from your many hotfix folders into the q299444i directory (not into SP6a yet!!). Replace anything old with the new one according to filedate. There will be files that don’t replace anything in q299444i. That’s fine, move them over anyway. Delete all of the leftover files that were older (in other words, if a file was older than the destination, we don’t need it). If you set any files aside, like atl.dll and tcmapp.exe, add them now.

Here is where we are: all of the hotfix files should be in q299444i. Some will replace what's there because they are newer, some will not replace any because q299444 didn't have them, and some files we got rid of.

13. Now it’s time to manually merge all of the q299444i files into the sp6a folder. Just drag and drop files from q299444i into sp6a, and replace older files with newer ones again using the file’s date as your guideline. Here below are most of the files you will be left over with (in other words, don't bother dragging and dropping them into the SP6a folder, just leave them alone for now):

 
atalk.dll*
bone.dll*
browser.dll* (Important! This file is NOT the Browser service!!)
browser2.dll (will be renamed to BROWSER and go into SYSTEM32)
crlupd.exe
floppy.sys
fp4autl.dll
ipx.dll*
lmrepl.exe
mprdim.dll
ncp.dll*
netbios.dll*
netdtect.sys
nmapi.dll
parport.sys
ppp.dll*
regacl40.exe
riched20.dll
riched32.dll
rmiisupd.cmd
schannel.dll
schmupd.exe
smb.dll*
snmp.dll*
tcpip.dll*
trail.dll*
vines.dll*
winhstb.exe 

There will probably be a few more too. Don’t worry about it for now. All of the hotfix files are now merged with the leftovers in q299444i. Oh No, you say! What about Registry edits? Relax, I’ve got you covered.

14. *These marked files will be going into a totally new directory in Windows NT called WINNT\system32\netmon\parsers. You need to make edits to TXTSETUP and LAYOUT, like this:
[SourceDisksNames.x86]
1 ... 26
27 = system32\netmon\parsers ; new directory for post SP6a NT Server files
The files above will be listed like this:
atalk.dll = 1,,,,,,,27,0,0
See the END NOTES for more detail on this.

Here is where we are: we have merged ALL of the hotifx files into the Service Pack6a. We have a bunch of leftover files from q299444i which are left alone in that directory.

15. Download the Unofficial Direct X 5 Distribution for NT 4. I have no idea, Google for it. Maybe try here. Once you have it, expand it to a folder such as “dx5” and don’t worry about the REG file that is distributed with Unofficial DX5, I have that covered, so delete the REG file. Drag and drop (some of) the files in the DX5 folder into the sp6a folder EXCEPT for these, which you can move to the q299444i folder (remember, q299444i is holding leftovers right now):

 
D3DPMESH.DLL
D3DRG24X.DLL
D3DRG32X.DLL
D3DRG55X.DLL
D3DRG56X.DLL
D3DRG8X.DLL
D3DRGBXF.DLL
DIRECTX.CPL
 

16. Some of those leftover files from hotfixes don't replace files in SP6a, but they do replace files in Windows NT i386. Because of the way the Bearwindows slipstreaming program works (it replaces anything in i386 with the same name from sp6a, whether the file was actually from sp6a or not), we can add the following files from the leftovers to sp6a:

 
certmgr.msc
clusapi.dll
comcat.dll
csvroot.exe
dplaysvr.exe
dssbase.dll
enhsig.dll
lmrepl.exe
mf3216.dll
mfc42.dll
mfc42u.dll
msvcrt.dll
netdtect.sys
oleaccrc.dll
psxss.exe
riched20.dll
riched32.dll
winhstb.exe
wldap32.dll
 

17. Get http://browsers.evolt.org/download.php?/ie...SP2/ie55sp2.exe
Get http://browsers.evolt.org/download.php?/ie.../ie55sp2_nt.zip
Extract the following files and put them aside:

 
browseui.dll 
dispex.dll  
dxtmsft.dll 
dxtrans.dll 
hh.exe    
hhctrl.ocx  
hlink.dll  
iexplore.exe 
inetcpl.cpl 
inetcplc.dll 
itircl.dll  
itss.dll   
jscript.dll 
mshtml.dll  
mshtml.tlb  
mshtmled.dll 
mshtmler.dll 
shdoclc.dll 
shdocvw.dll 
shlwapi.dll 
url.dll   
urlmon.dll  
wininet.dll 
 

ZOMG Internet Explorer?!? I know, I know. But we're going to put it as an optional component during setup so that you can have better program compatibility with programs that think they need to see IE. It won't even be a functional browser. We're just dumping IE DLLs optionally.

18. Now is the time to add whatever else will go into Windows NT such as an ASPI driver or some libraries or small freeware apps, etc. Open my TXTSETUP file and search for the word “newfiles” and you will see what I added. If you don’t want to add something or don’t have it, comment it out with a semicolon. Then open LAYOUT and do the same thing. See the end note.

19. Copy the i386 folder from your CD to your hard drive. Name it “i386bak” You will also copy i386 again to the C: drive at the next step also. It’s just good to have a backup, trust me.

20. No go here and follow this process: http://www.bearwindo....net/winnt4.htm

21. When you’re done, move the new i386 directory to whatever drive you were working on. You’ll also need the CDROM_S.40 file.

22. You'll have leftover stuff that you'll wonder about. Files like crlupd.exe for example. You won't know where it came from or how you got it or if it's important... but if I don't make mention of it or tell you to replace a file in i386 with it, then it can be deleted.

The astute reader will notice that I have been updating this every few days.

March 6

Registering DLLs on bootup will be tough; not only is IERNONCE.DLL required, but new versions of EXPLORER and SHELL32.DLL that IE installs are required, too. Microsoft issued post SP6a hotfixes for EXPLORER.EXE and SHELL32.DLL but the shell32 causes problems with some software, and that defeats the purpose of running an OS in the first place. Because I have a nonpublic beta of NT5 that predated Win2000, I might try running that version of explorer and shell32 to see if it even works.

The IE Desktop Update is NOT just available with IE 4. It's available with IE 5, 5.5, and 6, but Microsoft hides it from you. You have to start the install and edit the IESETUP.CIF file in the TEMP directory to make the Desktop Update option visible. The "Update" replaces EXPLORER and SHELL32 with HTML-aware files that are older than the versions from hotfixes. No thanks.

END NOTES
Here are the extra files I added to TXTSETUP and LAYOUT. This list is good for BOTH files.

I stumbled across this because I was researching ways to install Windows 2000 on a system with SATA drives. (It appears to be very simple). No need for F6, and universal, using UNIATA.

Very interesting...

[Tomcat76]

I'm probably sounding like an... behind... but... that doesn't really bring anything new. Every slipstreaming tutorial talks about slipstreaming SP6a, but then at the end they sneakily mention that you still need to apply SP6a separately after Windows installed.

There just gotta be a better way...

[fdv]

No, no, you're right... they always pull that little gotcha.
I wonder if all the files needed are copied over... as for registry edits, those are easy. I forget the name of the snapshot compare tool to see how an NT system has changed, but if I found it, I'd figure it out and make an INF file to eliminate the need for the last step of re-applying SP6a.

I believe Regshot is what you're looking for.

tommyp recommended that tool to me once. So I'm inclined to agree with your suggestion.

[damian666]

ok, so anyone has soem news about this?
i am looking for a way to integrate the servicepack myself without that last step so...
i really want to know man

anyone?

damian666

[johndoe74]

yeah maybe the fellowship of the slipstream that's gathered here could make something automated out of this

i'd be interested myself not because i'm gonna be using NT4 again anytime soon (hopefully) so I'll give it a go just for the heck of it because at one time I used to be insanely in love with NT4 - when everybody I knew was on Windows 98, I was raving about how wonderful NTWKS was!

Waves Hey, Tain!

Well, damian666, this is something that The Fellowship Of The Slipstream has been discussing off and on and off for a loong time

I have started compiling the SP6a registry information. If someone wants to be so kind as to install NT4 in a VM, install regsnap, then add the SP6a and see what new files were added (registry settings too if you want) then we can get this underway, I suppose. I could do this too I guess. I am in a position to do this insofar as narrating a method and editing NT install INFs.

This is crazy, here we are talking about slipstreaming NT4 purely for academic study and "just because" even though none of us use it LOL

[damian666]

well, thats not really true man, i use nt4 for testing purposes and because i am involved in the
nt4vu project, a visual upgrade project for nt4.
so i am really not only academic interested, but because i need it...
so want me to install nt4 then? i got it running in a vm allready...
the only drawback is that i dont have net at home.
so i can only talk with you guys here on my work, 3 days a week...
so maybe its better to do it yourself?


let me know man

Yeah, ok, I am feeling like I do have some spare time here and there. This shouldn't be too, too hard.
I believe that I have all of the hotfixes, but does anyone know where there is a 100% listing of ALL of them?
Before someone says "Google is your friend, Fred!" know that each site that lists them all have fewer of them than I have now... so something's wrong somewhere.

damian666, can you send me a boot sector for nt4? I have one somewhere but I am not finding it.

[Tomcat76]

You should be able to get most if not all of the registry changes from the INF file, making sure you use the SVR sections for Server and the WKS sections for Workstation. The only difficulty would be the FontSubstitutes sections which depend on the source language (which countries belong to Eastern Europe, Cyrillic and Baltic areas?). The time zones could use yet another update too.

Incidentally... Are the NT4 binaries for IE6 (including the Windows Desktop Update) still available from the Microsoft server?

[awergh]

well windows update still worked for nt4 when i used it a couple of days ago, so the binaries are probably there

[johndoe74]

i have the full IE6 download (works on Win98, NT4 and above) and can upload somewhere if you want

[damian666]

well, i have the nt4 iso, but well stupid qestion, but how to get the bootsector?
there are several ways but which is the prevered?

let me know man

damian666

[fdv]

Wow, this is an unlikely process.

The amount of work required to just get Regsnap working was re-god-darn-diculous. And after all the trouble, it didn't work in NT4. For whatever reason (it just won't take a snapshot. It does nada).

So. I got it on the VM. I am looking for other NT4 compatible versions of registry comparison software. That's where I stand at the moment.

[Tomcat76]

I'm either using InstallRite from Epsilon Squared or ART (Advanced Registry Tracer) from Elcomsoft.

According to the info on their web sites, both programs are compatible with NT4.

I see Epsilon Squared also has a program called InstallWatch but I never tried it yet.

As far as ART goes, I normally use version 1.5, which is free, but doesn't work in a VM. The latest versions work in a VM but they have a 30-day trial period.

Epsilon Squared

Worked perfectly!
I have created new installer files for NT4 now, TXTSETUP and LAYOUT, that include all files up to and including SP6a.
I have a REG file that I need to convert to INF.
Happened faster than I thought... Anyway, more later

[Tomcat76]

You probably know this, but I wanna point it out for completeness: different binaries are taken from the SP6a package depending on the edition (WS or SVR) -- some even need to be renamed -- and the same goes for the registry edits.

Also, I would've rewritten the SP6a installation INF file (ie, write a new heading like HFSLIP does), execute it after installation, and then fire up InstallRite to install SP6a on top. This way, only the registry edits that are not mentioned in the INF file are recorded which should make it a lot easier to convert from REG to INF.
