TheExterminator let me explain
All extensions that end in *.in_ are compressed files. These files can be uncompressed with WinRar and the *.inf file within is the one you want
You can open *.inf files are simple text files, so you can open them with Notepad.

Now there may or may not be *.in_ files in your installation source. If there's only *.inf files, then you don't have to uncompress anything, easyer
I hope I answered your question

Pliek, i'll be here if you need me

Okay, But when i paste this in

[SetupData]
CatalogSubDir="\i386"
[SetupHotfixesToRun]
CMD\RunOnce.cmd

I will Chance my CatalogSubDir="\i386\svcpack"

And it will not work.

Oh yes, i believe i understand your question now. If you change CatalogSubDir="\i386\svcpack" to CatalogSubDir="\i386" just edit your svcpack.inf from

[SetupData]
CatalogSubDir="\I386\svcpack"

[ProductCatalogsToInstall]
KB873339.cat

to

[SetupData]
CatalogSubDir="\I386"

[ProductCatalogsToInstall]
svcpack\KB873339.cat

For example

Welcome

What you mean by all updates? Service packs or hotfixes? Does your .cmd file checks the installations source to determine which updates it needs?

[TheExterminator]

Is hotfixes. The file download it to you computer and install it with you xp cd

Actually amazing, with "for" cycles and everything It could be very useful Although RyanVM has that covered

Updated New exciting improvement

[OzOne]

It's possible to add RyanVM Update Pack with your method ?

[andregcasal]

Absolutely In fact i was thinking of adding that method to the guide. It doesn't have directly to do with multi boot, but it sure should help.

I added the ryan updatepack and after Windows copied files I have this error:

 error2.JPG (8.32K)
Number of downloads: 12

I added too: IE7 with nlite + Directx 9 + Codec Pack + Java 6 And WMP 11.

[andregcasal]

Keep in mind that the the RyanVM update pack is the first thing you should do to your source. Use before anything else.

If that's not the case, then it seems you have some bad reference to a drive that isn't there. Don't know exactly what it is, but I'd say some of you CMD files (if you have some) has a reference to something other than C:\ (or the drive you'r installing to).
Not exactly sure, but take a look at your CMD files and check for errors. Hope it helps

I have just added ryan update pack and modify my svcpack.inf: now it's work Thx

Hi guys. I'm using this guide to streamline our SOE Build process and hopefully save our Field Service agents some time when rebuilding machines from scratch. I've been able to use these instructions to make a dual boot CD, which creates 2 different versions of our Windows XP CD by duplicating the source files for different installations. My unattend answer file uses the runonceex method to install our applications, and as such I'm unsure if it's really compatible with the instructions. I'd rather use the same DVD to build all four versions of our SOE, as they are all windows XP service pack 2 based. I've attempted to make setup call the correct batch file to make the registry entries in runonceex by using the .TAG file method, in order to differentiate between each SOE version.
The issue I'm having, is I've followed the instructions for creating the TAG file, however setup isn't creating the file at all.

My winnt.sif file is as follows:

;SetupMgrTag

I know setup is calling the winnt.sif file to do the Windows installation, as setup does not ask me any questions - and all the options are configured correctly in the operating system after installation, however setup is still not creating the .TAG file as required. The winnt.sif file is being placed in the PRO1 folder as suggested... Any suggestions?

Hello dunkie12
The problem is very simple... You have DetachedProgram="cmd.exe /c @ECHO something>%SystemDrive%\DTPR.TAG" instead of DetachedProgram="%SystemRoot%\System32\cmd.exe /c @ECHO something>%SystemDrive%\XPPRO.TAG". Hope it helps
