Help with start run program

Hi

I personally would use Autostreamer or nLite to help in the creation of the slipstream, I always found the longhand cmd route a pain.


I have this typed up for using Autostreamer that may help.


Then Download the XP Sp2 Network install files http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...be-3b8e-4f30-8245-9e368d3cdb5a&displaylang=en ( only get from this source to be sure its 100% real, dont get from any unknown sites )

Once Autostreamer run, choose "I want to use my original CD" pop your XP SP1 disk in the drive and click Next > you will see the below,

E: is where CD drive XP original disk is in, then click the Magnifying Glass icon at the end of the Service Pack File line and browse for the location of where you downloaded WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe

Leave the temp folder as is and click NEXT and any other prompts shown, then you will end up with a merged SP1 and SP2 ISO file, as below.

Click Finish.


You will then need to burn the ISO file to CD, you can do this via Nero or the free CDBurnerXP burning apps, I really do prefer CDBurnerXP ( needs .Net2.0 or later to run )

To burn an ISO with CDBurnerXP, just install the app and run, at the first box click Create Data CD/DVD > pop a blank CD in the drive and click:

File > Burn Disk from ISO File.....

Then you get the above box, click the [...] icon I circled and browse for the saved ISO file, this will be in your root C: drive location, choose the same options in the above picture I have chosen.

Then click Burn disk and at end you should have a slipstreamed XP SP2 CD.




If going the manual way you would need to first create a folder to extract SP2 too, so create a SP2 folder in root of C: pop the downloaded SP2 file WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe or the XPSP2.EXE from a SP2 update CD into the folder and then at CMD

cd \
cd sp2
WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe -x:c:\sp2 ( subsitute the 1st .exe for XPSP2.EXE if using that one )
