Title: Winxp Slipstreaming
Post by: Oprime on June 28, 2005, 09:27:30 AM
Wouldn't it be nice to make a installation thats ready as soon as you finish installing winxp. Here's a little guide to installing updates to winxp setup disk.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Open the commandline window

Start>>>Run>>>CMD
----------------------------------------------------------------------
make a directory on the hard dive named xpsp2_int\pro

mkdir Drive:\XPSP2_INT\PRO
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
now insert the winxp disk in the disk drive and use this command to copy the files from the CD.

xcopy D:\ Drive:\XPSP2_INT\PRO /E
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now we need a local copy of SP2. You can download the setup program or order a free CD from microsoft if you don't have a fast connection.

Order a CD (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/sp2/cdorder/en_us/default.mspx)

Download now (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=049c9dbe-3b8e-4f30-8245-9e368d3cdb5a&displaylang=en)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
once you have SP2 copy it to the main C:\ (or what ever drive XPSP2_INT is in) and run

Drive:\temp\i386\update\xxxxxx.exe /Integrate:Drive:\XPSP1_INT\PRO

Replace the xxxxxx with the file name for the SP2 setup program
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Congratulations you have updated the disk, but wait we're not done yet
since this part would take a long time to explain you guys can use this program called nlite to do the other stuff easier. I'll also add a website that shows how to add WMP 10 to the installation.

Nlite (http://streamload.com/oprime/nlite1.0b4i.exe)

Adding WMP10 (http://www.short-media.com/review.php?r=284&p=7)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
You guys can use the nlite program to make a bootable image file to burn to a cd after your done :).

Please post if you have any problems.

Why not go a step further and make sure OP2 is fully installed when windows is installed? :)

Thats just a simple task of placing the files in the program files dir and adding a global start menu/desktop entry

Wouldn't call it simple unless somebody can find a easy way to explain it. I'll look into it tho
