mazin Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Microsoft promised 2 CDs for free, and I received them only five days after the order date.One of the Cds contains updates for WinXP including:- Service Pack 1a- WMP 9.0 series- DirectX 9- & more...It, also, includes updates for Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows 98, and Windows 98 Second Edition (SE).If you haven't had those updates on your PC yet, here's where you order for free:http://www.microsoft.com/ireland/security/protect/order.aspMake sure you type your details correctly including your phone number and/or your cellular one.

bean Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 redownloading them was the first thing i tried, just grabbed em again and still no joy also is it just me or has the ms site been painfully slow lately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jraaby Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Can MDAC 2.8 be slipstreamed into the unattended XP install? I'm not having much luck getting it done.ThanksThere's a great guide here: GreenMachine's SpaceWhen you've made the installer, put it in the i386\Update folder and add it to the svcpack.inf file at the top of the list (i.e. before the hotfixes).

bean Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 i just tried installing the hotfixes on an original copy of xp with no unattended stuff, still aint having it. its not just those either, any update that uses that kind of installer fails :/could it be cos im using xp home?
