The 5.1.2195.24 version of the Unofficial Service Pack 5 has all the updates for the core O.S. up to June 2006 inclusive.

The 32 hotfixes that UpdatePrep.bat renames with a leading number are all that you will need to directly integrate.

There shouldn't be any dialogues asking about keeping a newer file version, I would suggest you start again from scratch.

It is generally best to do only one pass with nLite.

You can copy my Win2000sp5.ini preset to [C:\Program Files\nLite\Presets] and then rename one of your [Last Session (2007.08.18-23.08.07)_u.ini] files to Win2000sp5_u.ini.

Then when you run nLite on a fresh source a number of the needed options are already selected. For instance, the RunOnce file is correctly entered and it will be set to auto-logon twice as the Administrator. However you will need to enter the Administrator password of "giberish" as that is stored in Win2000sp5_u.ini (personal info) and select the hotfixes needed fro integration yourself (as you are highly unlikely to have them at the same location on your hard drive as I do). In other words some things will be done, but check everything.

Thanks Kurt,

I'll try again with the "factory" cdrom.

This project looks interesting.

Hate to tell you though that KB832353 has been replaced by the rollup and KB936782 (msdxm.ocx are the same in KB832353 and the rollup, wmp.dll is newer in KB936782).

Updated post #1 and the torrent, removing the redundant KB832353 (which replaced Q828026) as reported by "the_guy".

Moved NDP20-KB928365-X86.exe from Run2_W2Ksp5.bat to Run1_W2Ksp5.bat as with certain AddOns combinations it would force a system reboot, thereby aborting the second batch file before the installation of Windows Media Player 9.

September Hotfix updates

Deletions:
Hotfix20-WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe (found to be redundant)
Hotfix\540-Windows2000-KB932168-x86-ENU.EXE (replaced by 740-*.exe)
RunOnce\WindowsMedia-Q828026-x86-ENU.exe (as per post 14)

[Kurt_Aust]

Added the Unofficial Windows 2000 Service Pack 5.1.2195.24 Refresh to my tracker as I always seem to get scrape errors from RyanVM's tracker.

Added info on the older Unofficial Windows 2000 Service Pack 5.1.2195.21 available from both Major Geeks and Softpedia as a direct download. If at all possible the use of version 5.1.2195.24 via BitTorrent is preferred, however if you must use this version then you will need 8 additional hotfixes:
Hotfix\104-Windows2000-KB914389-x86-ENU.EXE
Hotfix\106-Windows2000-KB917736-x86-ENU.EXE
Hotfix\108-Windows2000-KB913580-x86-ENU.EXE

Can I move this to the window 2000 section and sticky it for you?

If you think that would be the best place for it, by all means.

Hi Kurt,

Firstly, thanks This has proved really useful to me over the last couple of months, it's nice to have a clear reference to work off.

I have a quick query, however: if I am removing WMP9 entirely and integrating media support a different way (in my case by using a Klite addon currently, but I'm probably going back to using individual addons again shortly), which of the hotfixes can I omit? And more specifically, does this affect the batch files at all insofar as giving an opportunity to simplify them, or perhaps cut out one of the restarts? Just curious.

Ta!

I haven't tested it but in that case your Run1_W2ksp5.bat file would be:


rem copy optional files, these make running as a limited user feasible and use no system resources
Copy AddOns\SubinACL.* %SystemRoot%
Copy AddOns\ChOwn*.bat %SystemRoot%
Copy AddOns\Grant_File_Access.txt "%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\"

rem support Adobe Flash plugin for Firefox, SeaMonkey & Opera

rem silent installers go here

rem Associate File Types, deRem to open Microsoft Office files with Open Office

%SystemRoot%\daemon\hidec.exe /w %SystemRoot%\daemon\dt4091_147_x86.bat

rem all GUI run once commands go here

rem deRem to support JohnDoe74's Windows Defender addon (RunOnce version only)

rem definition updates for Spybot, Defender & Avast
AddOns\spybotsd_includes.exe /S
AddOns\mpas-fe.exe /Q
AddOns\vpsupd.exe /Silent

rem this patch will force reboot
RunOnce\Windows2000-KB923191-x86-ENU.exe /Q



That cuts out one of the reboots, the only hotfixes that are dropped are:
RunOnce\Windows2000-KB923689-x86-ENU.EXE
RunOnce\WindowsMedia9-KB936782-x86-ENU.exe
and of course WMP9 itself (this will save you 17.1MB on your install media).

Note that I can't guarantee that skipping a reboot will be problem free, especially if you include silent installers. I can tell you that the DriverPack finisher won't install the ATI Catalyst control centre under this setup.

Probably the best thing to do is edit Run2_W2Ksp5.bat and append /ForceRestart to the end of RunOnce\NDP1.1sp1-KB928366-X86.exe /Q. That way you won't have the annoying long wait when you first log-on.

rem second pass of updates
RunOnce\Windows2000-KB904706-DX9-x86-ENU.exe /Q
RunOnce\NDP1.1sp1-KB928366-X86.exe /Q /ForceRestart

Question:

Is this whole thing for english version of Windows 2000 only?

[Kurt_Aust]

I envy you, I'm always after more free time.

I can't say whether or not it will work with non-English versions as I only have an English version to test it on.

Sorry about the long delay, I thought I'd replied but was having trouble displaying topics (bad cookie).

HFSLIP is compatible with foreign language versions.

BTW, for hotfixes, the_guy keeps a nice updated list in that subforum and takes care to note when one fix replaces another.

From RyanVM's forums, download Makave2345's .Net 1.1 switchless installer and save it to \RunOnce.


Also reordered the Hotfix numbering sequence, be sure to run UpdatePrep.bat if you've used this guide before to bring the numbering back into line.

Changed the support method for installing Open Office to one that gives the user more control, but requires the installation of 7-Zip (which I strongly recommend, useful and uses no system resources).

The Hotstream forum is open again so let's see how this topic fares in there.

Hi, Thanks for the excellent guide. I'm using the upgrade version of w2k Pro so I have to insert the win98 disk during the install. I have the Win98 install disk but I wonder if there is a way to combine them.

[Kurt_Aust]

Well, I don't have access to an upgrade version of Win2000 Pro so this morning I knocked on my neighbour's door and borrowed their copies of Win98se OEM and WinXP Pro upgrade.

I found that if you copy the contents of the Win98se CD into the nLite working directory and then burn the install media it works without swapping disks. You still have to press enter when it asks you to insert the older version of Windows but you don't have to change disks and it proceeds to partitioning setup.

You will need to use a DVD as the install media if you wish to do this and personally I doubt it's really worth the effort as the CD swap happens before the unattended section of the install anyway.

You must not copy "autorun.inf" and "setup.exe" and need not copy the "cdsample" directory, there might be other directories that you don't need to copy but as I could't see it getting down to CD size (at least not if you intend including AddOns / Drivers) I didn't experiment further.

I also set the volume name of the nLited install media to "Win98 SE" but didn't test if this was really necessary.

[Reptile]

Thanks, Kurt. I think you're right about it not being worth it, especially since it's only required for a new or raw drive. I'm having a lot of fun playing with this app though, and I may do a bit of experimenting with it and see how small I can make the 98 files.
