People,

I've been wrestling with this for a while now and I can't seem to get it resolved.

I have xp pro w/sp1 disc. I can create an ua disc, install, then update with sp2. I cannot, however, integrate sp2 and get it to install.

First, when trying to integrate, update exits with error because of other updates.

ok so i remove or rename svcpack.inf and integration completes without error.

Now if i create iso from this I get ntfs.sys corrupt. Well, checking things out there is a version mismatch between ntorkrnl.exe and ntfs.sys. I can remedy this by either regressing ntoskrnl or replacing ntfs.sys with a newer version.

If I make the iso from this, text mode setup completes without error but after first reboot it errors with

Quote

stop:c000035 {unable to locate component}
this application has failed to start because winsrv was not found. Re-installing
the application may fix the problem.

this happens with or without removing components.

I have checked the VPC vhd install with UBCD and the reg entery is there, the file is in /system32. I've tried placing winsrv.dll in several location, even in the iso but to no avail.

reading the KB article doesn't offer any help because there is not a tv media issue here that I can see.

As a next to the next to the last resort, I tried Ryan's update pack. Same story.

I forgot to mention I added a detachedprogram in winnt.sif to see if it gives an indication of when the error occurs. The prog is never executed. So it points to the gui boot up.

Can someone give me an idea where to look?

My last resort is to make a multi cd install and that kinda takes the whole point away of doing an unattended install. sorry no dvd burner yet.


Ps sorry for the long post.

Is the Disk an OEM Disk, if i remember correctly they don't always (or never, not sure) work with slipstreaming

The disc is not a oem disk as far as I can tell. Looking at the drivers and comparing them to xp home and win2k, there doesn't seem to be any OEM specific drivers.
