Up-to-date Windows 2000 universal install media creation guide

Recommended Posts

Hmmkay: Odd. Everything up through w2ksp51.7z.001 downloaded perfectly from mediafire, but .002 and .003 produced consistently mismatched checksums and generated numerous "file broken" errors upon attempted decompression. They were fine, however, coming from e-snips.

The list of hotfixes destined for said folder at the front of this topic differs somewhat (by maybe 5 additional items) from the A and B archives currently downloaded: Do I assume correctly that the archives' contents supersede the list, and that what they lack is intentional?

Yes, the archives are right, I'm still waiting for the Silent .Net maker to support the latest updates, still here are the changes for this month so far:

Part 4: .Net framework AddOns The .Net AddOns are not yet available, you'll have to use these files:

The AddOns linked to in the downloads section was created using Tomcat76/Strel's script, they are used rather than the original Microsoft installers as they save 70.5MB on your install media (28.3 for 2.0, 42.2 for 1.1). If you prefer to use the original files then save the following 8 to \RunOnce:

NetFx20SP2_x86.exe 25,001,480

NDP20SP2-KB958481-x86.exe 8,981,856

NDP20SP2-KB974417-x86.exe 11,459,928

NDP20SP2-KB971111-x86.exe 1,679,720

dotNetFx.exe 24,265,736

NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-x86.exe 10,703,680

NDP1.1sp1-KB953297-x86.exe 14,120,896

NDP1.1sp1-KB971108-x86.exe 7,002,048

There is also the option of using OnePiece's .Net 1.1sp1 True AddOn, integrate it along with the hotfixes at step 3.

Attached is the current archive (contains some additional entries in the batch files for those items I silently install).

Win2000_sp5a.zip

The dot NET installers have been uploaded, 1.1sp1 as an AddOn and 2.0sp2 as a silent installer (it must be installed after Visual C++ 2005 sp1).

Download from MediaFire or eSnips the .NET installers (see notes part 4 for other options).

As there is only a week to go until the next patch Tuesday, there will be no official update for October, however the current testing config file is attached.

Kurt: I've been preparing a new install CD and been tweaking it a bit to suit my needs. I want to install the High Encryption Pack but I'm not sure where best to put it. If I give it the /q switch it asks for a reboot; if I use /q:a it doesn't, but I haven't been able to ascertain for certain whether it is in fact installed with that switch (there's no add/remove programs entry, or at least if there is I don't see it).

I currently have it at the end of Run2_W2Ksp5.bat but I'd be grateful if you'd take a look to see if there's somewhere better for it to go.

Ta!

According to the documentation, the /q:a switch should work.

If it did work then rsaenhs.dll should exist in your \system32 folder.

As it doesn't interfere with anything else, it can go pretty much anywhere.

Hrm, well i couldn't see it on my VPC install. I stuck it in my real install since everything else was working fine, but there I'm getting a **** mup.sys boot error... and I don't have the willpower to fix that right now.

Targaff, are you sure that the High Encryption pack is still applicable? It predates SP1 and over the years restrictions on encryption technology have been relaxed, for instance IE6 uses 128-bit encryption.

I don't know, tbh - I would've assumed that the reasons for the pack's creation in the first place (export restrictions, namely) would still be applicable on later versions, but maybe they were able to come to some agreement? Either way, I don't see any harm in installing it. Though I'm inclined to create my own addon for it at this point instead.

Thanks for the updates, as per.

Yes RyanVM's tracker is down, apparently he is trying to diagnose server problems with the forums at the moment.

unfortunately the RyanVM tracker site still has NOT worked on all the XP/Vista machines that I've tested today [produces error 404 message in IE/Opera/Seamonkey/Chrome/Safari browsers etc.]. barely 4 months since the problem and not a resolution in sight. very disappointing indeed. :(

Erpdude8:

It's indeed an unfortunate loss of a valuable resource, still you can get SP5 from MediaFire, eSnips or this guide's torrent.

Targaff:

According to Microsoft's preliminary investigation, the problems regarding KB977165 are due to a pre-existing rootkit on the affected systems.

attempting to download Win2k SP5.1 at either eSnips or MediaFire today.

btw, pre-existing rootkit infects the atapi.sys file; if KB977165 is installed and you have an infected atapi.sys file, your system may end up in endless rebooting loop or you will experience BSOD crashes on every startup. so far KB977165 has not crippled my Win2k/XP computers as I have a "clean" atapi.sys file.
