And from what I've read, KB888111 has NOT been included...

(I already installed SP3RC1 on my system but since it does not feature a HDA device nor was it a slipstream installation, but a regular one, I cannot confirm this yet).

FWIW, the Vista SP1 RC has also been released to public (don't have link ATM)...

now we have vista posts in the xp sp3 thread will the insanity ever end...

so can we use DP successfully for XPSP3 after integrating 888111 addon?

i added the 888111 addon from the link above to nlite after slipstreaming SP3 and then applyed driverpacks. During DP integration, it just said 888111 cannot be slipstreamed and i clicked "ok". it finished the rest of the tasks. uA installation just went fine.

@BigBrit  excuse me... perhaps you havent been paying attention to what is going on around here.
I belive i am the last and the only one maintaining the base at the moment that is why i started this thread so i could get what i needed to do this. the key phrase there "what I need to do this" Please Read the last line in post three above.

With respect to the addon, I believe you need to integrate it AFTER SP3 has already been integrated.  The addon entries file has a check for SP3 or the integration will fail.  You can't integrate this addon with SP3 at the same time.  Also, this addon was built for use with the RVMIntegrator, but should work with nLite too.
All it does is replace files in the source with the files from kb888111.  There's no .exe to run or svcpack interaction.
From what I understand, M$ will probably update kb888111 or (my hope) include the patch/functionality into sp3 once public feedback is analyzed (there WILL be feedback on this).

On a side-note, Bâshrat the Sneaky hasn't abandoned this project, he's just very, very busy.
Overflow (Jeff), just like myself and others here, have been entrusted with the management of the project in his absence.  We do our best, but we are all volunteers and use our own personal time for these efforts.
Give us a break, OK?

I am sorry to hear you had an car accident. I hope all is well now.

I volunteered for the task last year when I wrote the BartPe Plugin. There are many posts about my contributions. I assumed with so many references in base and on the forums that it was well known I code Base. It wasn't handed over or dropped in my lap. I just felt the need to contribute and by pure luck this just happened to coincide with Bâshrat the Sneaky getting swamped at College. I suppose because it is such a thankless job I was very offended. Other than a handful of people who helped me from the UBCD4Win forum and Bâshrat the Sneaky himself no one has said thanks. On the other hand I have had no bug reports and no errors reported for over a year in my coding of base. I have had a few requests like this for new stuff but perhaps you can now understand why my motivation could go right in the toilet when there is not even a thank you waiting at the end of hundreds of hours of coding and not even getting reconized for the hundreds of hours already invested.   

I belive what I see. I see hundreds of requests for free work almost no contributions to the forum and only a handful of people even willing to signup for the testing team to test our test packs. and speaking of test packs when was the last time anyone thanked them (other than other team members). it is not an almost thankless job it is a thankless job. I don't blame Bâshrat the Sneaky one bit for putting his personal goals ahead of this project. Your post almost made me join him.

Furthermore when i added the BartPE plugin i only added about 200 lines of code but i had to rewrite another thousand lines of code that were not up to my standards. some of this code was inherited by Bâshrat the Sneaky when he took on this project and was pretty sloppy. This was Bâshrat the Sneaky's first program that he ever wrote and he was like 14 years old. Some of that code was terrible - although fuctional - it needed to be totaly rewritten. So you dismiss this work as easy since it only requires a few lines, but where to put those lines in the 30 or 40 thousand lines of code and hundreds of modules that exist? and how many hundereds of lines that have to be rewritten to add them. You have no idea what you are asking or what I must do to accomplish this task. You easily dissmiss and diminish the tremendous amount of work / programming required.

@ all- I am sorry I let my temper get the best of me, but I have to be true to myself. this certainly wasn't directed at Mr_smartePants or jaak or muiz or any team member - you guys are in the trenches and understand all to well what i am feeling. I am only human and i do have feelings and emotions. I am sorry i was unble to keep them in check today. perhaps i am just wound a little to tight because of things in my own personal life and i shouldn't let that spill over here.
