So you want to create a fully up-to-date Windows 2000 installation CD / DVD ? Well here's how (minor update for March 2013).

Important Security Notice: As Windows 2000 has been out of support since July 2010 and no major web browser still supports it, it is not safe to use Windows 2000 on an Internet facing machine. At this stage Windows 2000 is mainly recommended for use in a virtual machine or on unconnected old hardware to run legacy applications. If you wish to use old hardware connected to the Internet a Linux Distribution is a much safer choice.

First you are going to need some files: (▼ is a direct link to the executable)
Microsoft's download pages for Windows 2000 seem to be going MiA of late, so if you can't find what you're looking for there try Tomasz86's archive.


From MediaFire, the Config2000sp5_date.zip file and extract it, this will also setup the necessary directory structure (read \Misc\FileList.txt for contents).

Download from MediaFire the Unofficial Windows 2000 Service Pack 5.1.2195.24 Refresh, recombine the 3 part 7-Zip archive (w2ksp51.exe) and save it to \Misc.
MD5: B86F9385CBF2FBD3053492FD00CFA598
SHA-1: A422A40C062989BFE95AA428C094321E82394ACC

Download from MediaFire Hotfix_2000sp5_N_date.7z (.Net 1.1 SP1 & .Net 2.0 SP2) and extract it into the same directory that you chose to extract the Config archive into (see notes part 4 for other options).
MD5: 2D7D627B72976FAA82EB709A0C37BE0C
SHA-1: 603861CC10B73B729CF22BFDAA3ABD8A614DE4D4

From Microsoft you want:
▼ Windows Media Player 9, rename it to “WMP09-Setup-98Me2000.exe” and save it to \RunOnce (sometimes Microsoft's file names are neither informative nor exclusive).
MD5: E919C4E0050B32AEBE83A5D2EB613DD4
SHA1: 580536D10657FA3868DE2869A3902D31A0DE791B
▼ EXTRACT the February 2010 (June fails) DirectX redistributable to \DirectX_9c (you can get back 45MB by deleting the x64.cab files).
MD5: 4CF007A355CB5F34A3C5C400113B33C3
SHA-1: A97C820915DC20929E84B49646EC275760012A42


Once again you can either:
Download the current Hotfix 7-Zip archives from MediaFire, extracting them into the same directory that you chose to extract the Config archive into, this method is recommended for new users. The archives won't necessarily be updated every month, only when there is a deletion and/or several new hotfixes.

OR open the Hotfix2000sp5_date.torent (from \Misc) into the same directory that you chose to extract the Config archive into. If you have used this guide previously, run the UpdatePrep.bat file in the \Misc directory before opening the Hotfix torent, this will remove any outdated hotfixes. Due to slow speed (about 40 hours for a full download) this method is recommended for returning users updating their hotfix list, it can also be used to error check the downloads.

They both have the following contents:

At \Hotfix for direct integration, red items are server only and in a seperate archive, blue items are post end of life hotfixes and in a seperate archive (see notes part 3).

At \AddOns
Grant_Access_1.1.exe 141,900 - repacked subinacl.msi
SchTasks.exe . . . . . . 121,856 - if you have Win XP sp2 then you already have this file at %SystemRoot%\System32, but you would need to change hex offset E3F8 from 75 to EB for it to work with Windows 2000. SchTasks.exe is also available separately from this post's attachments.

Note as to format, the trailing number in italics is obviously file size while the leading number is to ensure that they are integrated in the same order that Windows Update would install them. The large gaps in number are so that any future changes can be inserted into the hotfix torent without requiring name changes, re-ordering or re-downloading files. It is important to note that the tracker's IP address is at least nominally dynamic (static for months at a time though), so if you can't connect for more than a day PM me.

If you prefer to directly download all the hotfixes, UpdatePrep.bat will rename the files as appropriate. If you've done everything correctly \Hotfix should have 77 files 77,872,736 and \RunOnce should have 25 files 102,849,627.

Of course you won't get very far without nLite and a Windows 2000 install CD.



Now it's time to fire up nLite.
NB: must be run with administrator privileges, might need to disable anti-virus software, Vista/Win7 users should run in XP compatibility mode and there is an archive of screenshots available at my MediaFire page.

1. Locate your source (my session file is located at \Misc, you should probably use it as a base).

2. Slipstream the unofficial service pack 5 (w2ksp51.exe).

3. Add all the hotfixes listed in the \Hotfix directory (use Crtl-A, check the order) and any program Addons (N.B. not all Addons will work without modification, see notes part 1).

4. Add any drivers you may need, especially textmode SATA & RAID drivers (Intel, nVidia). I've found that 7-Zip will extract some things WinRAR won't (also see notes part 2).

5. Unattended settings, this is the most important one. Your RunOnce file should look like this:

Ping -n 11 127.0.0.1 > nul
For %%I in (Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N M L K J I H G F E D) do CMD /R "%%I:\Run1_W2Ksp5.bat %%I"
rem should not see me
Pause

You must also set it to autologon twice to an administrator class account (read the note), fully automated mode would be an excellent idea Smithers.

6. Make any tweaks you want, then run the process.

7. Copy all the files and folders that you have downloaded, except those at \Hotfix and \Misc to your nLite working directory, maintaining the directory structure (\AddOns contains optional files, see notes part 1 & 3).

8. After you drag n drop anything else that you may want / need, go ahead and burn that image / CD / DVD (not usable for USB stick installation).



Installation

If you have gone for the fully unattended / autologon x2 option, then all you have to do is let it be for roughly 1 1/2 hours. The system will be ready for use when a logon box is waiting for your input.

Here is how it works:

Gurglemeyer's excellent unofficial service pack 5 has most of the post service pack 4 updates and more importantly Internet Explorer 6 SP1, so once that is slipstreamed most of the updating is done.

The updates that are directly integrated are those that show up when you first run Windows Update on Win2000 SP5.

Note that because %Source% does not work with Windows 2000, the RunOnce file has to search for Run1_W2Ksp5.bat, this means having unusual file names is important. Here we install .Net 1.1 SP1 & .Net 2.0 SP2, DirectX 9.0c, some minor updates and the hotfixes that fail under nLite to integrate into the source. The order is important because KB923191 will force a system reboot, but in this case that helps us as a reboot is recommended between the installation of DirectX 9.0c and Windows Media Player 9 anyway.

You can have as many application install reboot passes as desired. To do this simply set the system to auto-logon (in step 5) as many times as required and place the appropriate number of batch files in the root directory of your install media. The first 5 batch files are already written (at \Misc) with the needed handover command, but if you need more they are fairly self explanatory. If using VirtualPC be sure to install its drivers last.

Comodo Firewall (Silent Install)

However it is important to note that not all addons will work, in my tests I found that JohnDoe74's Daemon Tools and Windows Defender addons silently fail (both now obsolete).

One problem with this install method is that due to the forced reboot at the end of Run1_W2Ksp5.bat, GuiRunOnce doesn't execute on the first pass. You can get around this by moving GuiRunOnce commands to the batch files. For example, to get JohnDoe74's Daemon Tools addon to work you take the GuiRunOnce command [%windir%\daemon\dt410x86.exe] and place it in Run1_W2Ksp5.bat just above KB923191.

As it is far easier to delete than add, compatiblity lines will be added to the batch files as they become known, as long as the worst negative consequence is a "File not found" error. A large number of command line silent install switches can be found at my similar topic for XP x64. The items listed below are supported by the batch files, unless otherwise directed simply place the end-user installer at \AddOns for automatic installation.

• Mozilla Firefox Extended Support Release: Last version to work on Windows 2000.
  
• Adobe Flash Player: Both ActiveX (at \RunOnce) and Plugin (at \AddOns), last versions to work on Windows 2000.
  
• Microsoft Silverlight: Last version to work on Windows 2000, rename it to Silverlight-4-1-10329-0.exe
  
• Java Runtime Enviroment: Last version to work on Windows 2000.
  
• Libre Office: 3.6.x series Spell Check info (corner case 2).
  
• Google Earth: Last version to work on Windows 2000, rename it to GoogleEarthWin-5-1-3535-3218.exe
  
• K-Lite Mega Codec Pack: Last version to work on Windows 2000, lots of stuff option, see here if you want to create your own config files.
  
• QuickTime Alternative Lite: Last version with Directshow filters and the second last version to work on Windows 2000.
  
• Daemon Tools Lite: Last version to work on Windows 2000, requires 7-Zip or the latest SPTD.
  
• Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.6.2: Last version to work on Windows 2000 - Detection update integration supported
  
• avast! AntiVirus Home Edition: Detection update integration supported (and it can talk like a pirate)
  
• Comodo Firewall: You have to use the older 2.4.18.184 version, small, top-rated and free, unfortunately their installer doesn't allow for an unattended installation. However I've written a basic AutoIt script (my 1st) that will silently install it, available from MediaFire, save it to \AddOns along with the actual firewall installer.

Part 2: Bashrat the Sneaky's Driver Packs
This setup will work with the DriverPacks finisher, however due to the forced reboot at the end of Run1_W2Ksp5.bat you must use the custom finisher method. Hence the %SystemDrive%\DPsFnshr.exe line in Run2_W2Ksp5.bat (this has only been tested with slipstream method 2). You should run DPs_Base at step 7 (after nLite has finished its modifications).

If you get an "out of memory" or "file is corrupt" error during the textmode section of installation, then do NOT integrate the mass storage DriverPack as textmode (you can rerun DPbase to remove mass storage textmode). In this case you'll have to integrate any mass storage drivers you need with nLite at step 4 (or use a floppy). In Virtual PC 2007 there was an error about a denied request to install / upgrade a game port, but that did not appear to hinder the installation.

As there are some problems with the latest releases when working with W2K, I recommend using the May 2008 versions of the DriverPacks, available via MediaFire or torent.

Part 3: Official Microsoft hotfixes released after July 2010
Microsoft has released a few hotfixes for Windows 2000 after support was officially terminated, these are not included in the base download as they lack the widespread community testing the other hotfixes have received. If you wish to include them they are available as a seperate archive from MediaFire.

Part 4: Optional components (currently GrantAccess/SubInACL & SchTasks)
Any small (<2MB) but useful optional components will be placed in the \AddOns directory. The batch files will be written to support their installation if \AddOns is copied to the nLite working directory.

SubInACL is a command line utility meant for network administrators, but it can be useful to us mere mortals as it makes running as a limited user feasible. Using the "Access *" commands I only have to logon as the Administrator about once a fortnight. Since I started setting up my friend's computers this way I haven't had to deal with the "I cancelled a print job and now my printer is gone" (they deleted the printer) or "Why do I get all these annoying pop-ups" (opened Amazing_Photos.vbs) type service calls. How many of us can truly say they have never clicked the wrong button or typed the wrong command? Remember, the neck you save might just be your own. 3rd party installer available (but you still have to use the W2K shortcuts).

SchTasks.exe from XP SP2 (modified to work with Windows 2000) was originally used to launch Run2_W2Ksp5.bat, so it's inclusion is a legacy item, none the less it does add advanced command line task scheduling abilities to Windows 2000.

Part 5: .Net framework
The installers linked to in the downloads section were created by User Hidden (unfortunately Yumeyao's version is outdated), they are used rather than the original Microsoft installers as they save 101MB on your install media. If you prefer to use the original files then save the following 13 to \RunOnce:
▼ NetFx20SP2_x86.exe 25,001,480
▼ NDP20SP2-KB958481-x86.exe 8,981,856

▼ NDP1.1sp1-KB2742597-x86.exe 15,900,360
▼ vcredist_x86_2005sp1a.exe 2,745,256 must be manually renamed

Part 6: Multi-media installations
Sometimes you won't be able to fit everything you want onto one CD and a DVD can't be used. In that case skip step 7 and instead burn the files & folders you would have copied to another CD. You will also have to do one of the following:
A) If you have multiple CD drives just put one CD in each, too easy.
B} Set a system boot password in BIOS and then change CDs on the second reboot.
C) Insert a Pause command as the first line of the RunOnce file (step 5), change CDs on the pause.
If you find that you've added too many AddOns and your image is over CD size, you can just delete the appropriate executables from \I386\svcpack and recreate the image. Most of the executables will be switchless installers so you could instead add them to Run1_W2Ksp5.bat or Run2_W2Ksp5.bat (open the original .cab file and read the Entries*.ini file to be sure). For instance you could do a base W2K CD with all the DriverPacks (except Graphics) and another CD with 525MB of application installs (142MB already reserved).

Part 7: Unofficial Windows 2000 Service Pack 5.1.2195.21
Both Major Geeks and Softpedia host this older version of the service pack. If at all possible the use of version 5.1.2195.24 via BitTorent or MediaFire is preferred, however if you must use this version then you will need 3 additional hotfixes:
▼ Hotfix\010-Windows2000-KB913580-x86-ENU.exe 5,470,696
▼ Hotfix\015-Windows2000-KB914388-x86-ENU.exe 618,472
▼ Hotfix\055-Windows2000-KB917537-x86-ENU.exe 626,152

Part 8: Testing
There are 3 free Virtualization programs that you can use to test your creation, VMware Server, Sun VirtualBox and Microsoft VirtualPC 2007.
Automatic installation of Virtual Machine drivers is supported, just place the appropriate .iso file at \AddOns (you MUST use Rado354's 7-Zip AddOn for this to work).

VMware Server 1.0.10
Pros: Can virtualize just about anything, including x64 guest OS's (x64 support check)
Cons: 4 times the size of the others, registration required
ISO: %ProgramFiles%\VMware\VMware Server\Windows.iso

Sun VirtualBox (last version to run on a Win2000 host - MediaFire)
Pros: Also good for virtualizing Linux, supports x64 guest OS's if CPU has AMD-V or VT-x
Cons: Will not virtualize Win9x properly, v2.2.4 & earlier - do NOT install Comodo Firewall on the guest
ISO: %ProgramFiles%\Sun xVM VirtualBox\VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

Microsoft VirtualPC 2007 (Host OS XP or later)
Pros: Good for virtualizing Win9x, guest usuable even without VM drivers
Cons: Will not virtualize non Microsoft OS's properly
ISO: %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Virtual PC\Virtual Machine Additions\VMAdditions.iso

Part 9: Space / Time
According to nLite a clean install CD (no Addons / Drivers, deleted the x64 DirectX cabs and the BootDisk,Discover,Support,ValueAdd folders) uses 498 MB.
A clean installation takes 1 hour with my setup (see below).
An installation with all the applications noted in part 1 takes 1 1/2 hours (includes dealing with 1st run application screens).
An installation with all the applications and ALL the DriverPacks takes 3 hours 15 minutes (keeping all the drivers, MUCH faster on a real machine).

System specs: Virtual PC 2007 running on Win XP x64 Pro platform
Turion 64 ML-34 (1.8GHz, 1MB cache), 1GB RAM, 100GB 5400rpm HDD
Each Virtual PC was allocated 384MB RAM and a 16GB HDD on an USB-HDD
No other applications were running on the laptop during the tests.

As all these tests were performed using Virtual PC 2007, please post about your real world experiences.

Kurt, rather than maintain that list of hotfixes, you might want to just link to the ones that originated in the HFSLIP forum:

This project has undergone a major rewrite to enhance ease of use, most significantly there is now a torrent with 31 of the 38 needed executable files. Also all configuration files are now in a single archive.

Project has been updated for May, main notes for those who used the April version:
Re-read the topic, major changes
Hotfix order was stuffed, run UpdatePrep.bat to fix (didn't affect installation though)
Move all files from \WMP9 and \Utilities to \RunOnce

As there are only small changes between the bimonthly versions of the DirectX redistributable, I am considering adding the ability to update it via the torrent \ UpdatePrep.bat, opinions?

[adchia]

Wow...Thanks for this...I've tried before and it took AGES...This sped it up soo much...I appreciate it.

[-I-]

i tend to dis-agree with this for a bit though...
dont get me wrong the idea is perfect but id rather see using hfslip
or maybe a derivative special to this project...

step 1, slipstream usp5xxxxx.exe
step 2, use hfslip for directx mdac mplayer net1.1 and net2.2 and the hotfix list..
step 3, use nlite to tweak the hfsliped source....

this way you save a lot of install time for dx9 and mdac.

ather that adding driverpacks is a verry good idea.. but i would say,
lets look at the totorial for 'creating your own DP' and build ourselves a win2k version
(removing those files that arn't neaded for xp... etc (all to make these packs a bit smaller),

adchia:

Glad to hear it was of help to you.


-I-:

I did this under nLite as while there are many ways to create an up to date XP installer, there seems to be a major dearth of Win2000 solutions. Also I am familiar with nLite and I wanted to prove to myself that it was in fact possible and I could do it.

If you wish to write a similar guide for HFslip, by all means go for it, it's not like I have a software patent on the idea. Feel free to block copy appropriate sections of this guide if you wish.

As for install time, since it's unattended, it didn't seem like all that big a deal. The batch file stage takes about 20 minutes under VirtualPC, how much time is HFslip likely to save? (this is an honest question, I've never used HFslip)

As for Driver Packs, I felt that having application AddOns was more important, so once you added drivers as well you were forced to use a DVD as the install media anyway. Also I wanted this guide to be as newbie friendly as possible, so things like editing driver packs was definitely off the agenda.

No deletions


The 2 .Net hotfixes that get saved to RunOnce are huge, 23.5 MB in total !! Hopefully it won't be too long before RyanVM updates his switchless installers and we get most of that back, however RyanVM has indicated that he is very busy at the moment so it may be a while.

Updated post #1 and the torrent for 670-WindowsMedia6-KB925398-v2-x86-ENU.exe as reported by dbrunton.


Also rewrote the nLite RunOnce file and the 2 batch files to fix a problem I discovered when I added a USB card reader to my RMware testbed. With the older version an "Invalid parameter" error dialogue box would pop-up when any attempt was was made to access the card reader during installation.

Works. Very nice.

With August hotfixes it only needed 7 security updates and 1 Malicious Software Tool from Windows Update to complete Express update.

One hardware device error which I think you may have got.

"The class installer has denied the request to install or upgrade this device" The device is classed as a MEDIA device and seems to be a gameport and won't install from Add/Remove Hardware or Device Manager after all of the setup has finished.

But it found pretty much everything else which impressed me. Some ATI codecs had to be got from Windows Update but that's nothing.

A 1 Gb DVD disc with 975 Mb of drivers and addon applications was used on a system with 640 Mb of RAM and a 200 Gb hard disk with a 1.3 GHz Duron processor. Installation time approx 1 hr to 2 hrs.

[Kurt_Aust]

Updated post #1 and the torrent for WindowsMedia-KB832353-ENU.exe as advised by erpdude8. Note that this is a reliability change and is not security related.

Also added support for JohnDoe74's Windows Defender AddOn, however you must use the RunOnce version and deRem a line in Run1_W2Ksp5.bat for it to work.


dbrunton:
Glad to hear it worked for you, but I'd just like to clarify one thing. You used the July update list and then got 7 updates, correct?

Your post could be read as: "with August hotfixes" integrated "it needed 7 security updates and 1 Malicious Software Tool from Windows Update". Which seems way too much, unless of course you have added other Microsoft software that also updates via Windows update.


EDIT:
Ignore the missing update list in the next post, the problem was traced back to dbrunton using the wrong version of the Hotstream Unofficial Service Pack 5. There are several versions out there, however 5.1.2195.24 is the most up-to-date version and the one this guide was designed to work with. To the best of my knowledge it is only available via the torrent from RyanVM's tracker.

Sorry. It included all of the August stuff you listed as well. Here's the list of what Windows update required fixed. Looking at some of these dates; these are a year old. No other Microsoft apps added.

Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - August 2007 (KB890830)
Security Update for Windows 2000 (KB914388)

Security Update for Windows 2000 (KB914389)

Ok,

I'm assuming te hotfix list is current as of August, 2007.

So I've already added the regular hotfixes to Windows 2000 PRo with nLite.
Now I need to add the "runonce" hotfixes.

Now, where exactly do I put the "runonce" hotfixes, assuming just for fun that the working folder
for the future CDROM was

H:\W2KSP4_PLUS

containing these folders (print screen bitmap attatched):

(sorry for the 2-color bitmap, but I needed to reduce the file size)

Thanks in advance,

kd6aaj

[Kurt_Aust]

As noted in step 7 of the instructions, you copy the downloaded directory structure to the nLite working directory.

Your image shows a directory H:\W2KSP4_PLUS\RunOnce, all the RunOnce hotfixes belong there so they can be called by the batch files. There should also be 2 batch files in H:\W2KSP4_PLUS and the directory H:\W2KSP4_PLUS\DirectX_9c.

When nLite creates your install media, the contents of H:\W2KSP4_PLUS will become the root directory of the CD \ DVD.

[kd6aaj]

Thank you Kurt Aust,

I'm sorry if I got confused.

I actually have more hotfixes in my hotfixdownload directory from Windows update, etc because I ran MBSA and downloaded ALL the hotfixes and service packs when I did a fresh install from my slipstreamed W2K_SP3_EN cdrom a couple of weeks ago.

They must be obsolete now, since I slipstreamed the w2ksp51.exe service pack last night.
I only integrated the hotfixes "UpdatePrep.bat" gave me (total of 32) via drag-and-drop into nLite.

The other directories and files were not in my working dirctory yet, as I was just doing a "normal"
slipstream and hotfix integration

I also clicked "yes" evertime I was asked If I wanted to keep a newer version of a file.

What do I do with your "win2000sp5.ini"?

Can I delete the "Last Session.ini" and "Last Session_u.ini" files? I've never reloaded a session with nLite (yet).

Thanks,

kd6aaj
