nekiman

Recommended Posts

Hello!! I'm new here and i would like to have some help....

firstly, I'm from Greece so I'm sorry for the mistakes there might be:$!!

I have downloaded some updates with the windows update downloader, and I

want to integrate them into Windows XP with the nLite!! Do I have to

convert them to .cab files?? all the updates are .exe files!! And if I

have to convert them, i should do this with the add-on maker? Can someone

tell me how to do this?? Thank you in advance!!

nekiman, Windows updates do not need converting, the .exe files are what nLite needs. Just point to them in the Hotfixes, AddOns and Update Packs Task. Enjoy, John.

This seems nice but while I'm importing them I have an error message for the KB890830 and KB917275 hotfixes

which says that these are "unsupported hotfixes"....

In addition, when the nlite starts integrating the hotfixes I have some problems/errors:(.....

I have attached some screen photos to see what i mean!! Please help...

This is the list of the updates I want to integrate:

nekiman, I should have pointed out in my first reply - attach your Last Session as requested in the RED above and do not paste a large amount of lists in the forum. I cannot read Greek, but you have obviously included files into your Hot Fix section that are not valid. The .msi file and the one below it are not valid and HMTCDWizad is also. As the Task name says, the Hot Fix section is for hot fixes, AddOns and update packs, not general installers. IE8 will not integrate directly, neither will WMP11. Basically you need to do some research here. Look for an IE8 AddOn and WMP11 Slipstreamer from booogy. Also please consider an Update Pack, although finding one in Greek may be a problem. Please try RayanVM forum and use Google (or your favorite search engine.) Enjoy, John

ok!! I'm sorry!!!

I think the same too, but how am I going to find out which updates are not hotfixes?

I have found a WP11 slipstreamer but I didn't know that I should do the same for

IE8 :blushing: !! I attached the Last Session file, is there anything that you can

say?? thank you for your help!!

nekiman, thanks for the Last Session. It is always useful. It looks OK, but I see you are running nLite under Vista (or W7) and this can be a problem if you are adding a Service Pack. Did your original source come with SP3 or are you using nLite to slipstream it? You did not say what WMP11 Slipstreamer you found, but if it is booogy's, just install it on your machine, place the WMP11 installer followed by the WMP11 updates and nLite will use the slipstreamer to integrate WMP11 and all its updates. There is always some confusion between hot fixes and updates. I tend to treat the terms as the same. I think originally, MS intended that hot fixes could be applied to a running system to correct problems without causing interruptions (restarts). In the case of nLite, all updates obtained from Windows Download Site as KB type updates should be OK. There are some exceptions and IE8 is one of them. For some reason MS decided that IE8 could not be slipstreamed on XP (only Vista and W7), so nLite cannot handle and an AddOn is required. Sp0iLedBrAt has given a good link for IE8 AddOn (and a great one for the picture guide), but the problem you may have is finding one in Greek. In this case you have two basic choices. One is to make one your self. There is an AddOn maker (I have not used). You add the IE8 AddOn into the hot fix section followed by its updates. Two, is to run the IE8 installer from the RunOnce exit out of the Unattended section. Here is a great guide for XP x64 on running stuff from RunOnce. Please don't be intimidated by it, but it is really a good lead. Kurt_Aust does not run IE8 from here, but many other things such .NET Framework. Since I run XP x64, I am not familiar with 32 bit updates, so I can't help you with individual update problems. I recommend that you do some searching here, on Google and especially RayanVM. See if you can find Greek AddOns and Update Packs. I think it will make you like much easier. Please look at Sp0iLedBrAt's pictures, read the guide posted in the sticky area above and consider a virtual system for testing. VMware Server, VirtualPC and VirtualBox are all free. If you are running W7 Professional or above, then 32 bit virtual support is available (requires some DLs - free). I suggest you try something simpler to start with. Just a few changes and updates and then test on a virtual system. Enjoy, John.

First of all, john, thank you very much for your help and your time!! I really appreciate it!!

I'm running nlite under windows 7 prof x64, is this a problem??

The original source is Windows XP profesional version 2002 Service Pack 3, but I downloaded the list "windows-xp-sp3-x86-ell" of windows update downloader and it downloaded for me the file "WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ELL" so I thought that I should slipstream it too!! shouldn't I??

For windows media player i tried the "WMP11 Integrator v1.1 built 60" and it worked fine....

For Internet Explorer I found this addon: IE8 and I will try it.... Or I will try to make my own addon with the "nlite Addon Maker" which I allready have, in order to make an addon of the greek version....

I'm using VirtualPC in order to test the versions which i create!!

nekiman, you are welcome. I think W7 Professional x64 will be OK as long as you do not integrate an SP (which you are not doing). I don't know about 32 bit updates, but if WUD showed KB936929, it should be OK. I have not used the WMP11 integrator you are using, so let us know if it works. Sounds like you are learning fast. Great on the VirtualPC system - will pay many dividends. I think that IE8 AddOn will be fine, but in English. Enjoy, John.

Thanks!

the update KB936929 which WUD downloaded, is service pack 3, but my source is windows xp sp3, do I have to try to integrate it? sorry I didn't understand that!!

the WMP11 Integrator which I tried does not work with nlite, it integrates WMP11 into the source. I did that and then i created with nlite the .iso file in order to test it!! I tried it with VirtualPC, and it seemed to have no problems!!(I attached a photo of this program)

I want to try to make my own addon, but I don't know if I have to add a "Command for Silent installation" at the addon maker... but I think that I can deal with that...

(I'm sorry again about my mistakes:$)

No, there is no need

First run the integrator, then nLite

I want to try to make my own addon, but I don't know if I have to add a "Command for Silent installation" at the addon maker... but I think that I can deal with that...

Feel free to browse for add-ons that already been created; if you don't find it/them, you can always post a request at the Application add-ons sub-forum http://www.msfn.org/...cation-add-ons/
