Topic: Slipstream downloaded XP updates?

Hi there, thanks for looking.

It was quite a while back when i tried out slipping driver packs and some of my own driver packs.

But here's the stupid question...I remember there being a site to download windows updates (packs of sorts) and slip them also. And no, I'm not talking a official MS site.

It was a site similar to driverpacks.net...and nlite for that matter....from what i remember.


I just dont remember what it was called....but basically one was able to download almost all the latest updates and hotfixes for lets say, XP SP2.  And then they could be slipstreamed, creating a near up to date XP SP2 install disc

Any ideas???

I know it's out there...just dont remember where or what exactly.. smile

Thanks for reading,
Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Re: Slipstream downloaded XP updates?

Ryan VM Integrator is the prefered choice of DriverPacks
HFSlip is very popular too....
there are literaly dozens of people that provide these packs
Some of them offer support for specific languages too.
many of them are respected freinds of DriverPacks...

Re: Slipstream downloaded XP updates?

Thanks for the prompt reply Overflow wink

I belive it may have been RyanVM's integrator....as it its commonly pushed on from the nlite site.
And that being said, it makes sense that i related DP, nlite, and my mystery site when i was asking about this....shrug.

I just dont remember the site being so dark like ryans is...
http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/updatepack-sp2.html

But the version numbering system rings a bell in my head (currently 2.2.5) ...so it's probably it.

Thanks again Overflow!

Re: Slipstream downloaded XP updates?

Also...would it be best to integrate the latest MS updates into the install disk first, and then slip the drivers afterwards?   And then make any OS install disk changes via nlite last?

Or slip the drivers first and then integrate the updates, and then use nlite for customizing?

Or whatever order you think is best?



Thanks

Re: Slipstream downloaded XP updates?

Well i normaly am put off just a little when someone asks a question that is in the tutorial and posted a few hundred times on the site LOL

but you have been so polite... here you go,

little known fact - you may integrate ryans packs with nlite wink
- I do not do this... it does work, but I don't do it personaly.

this is what I do

I copy a clean OEM disk to HDD

I slipstream sp3 to my Clean copy

I use RVM to Copy My Folder and update all my patches
I now have a folder that is clean with sp3 and a second folder that is fully updated with RVM

I copy the RVM folder to a third folder I run Nlite on the third folder and do all my automation.

I leave nLite open at the create ISO screen
(optionaly i will create an alpha iso here and test in VMWare to insure all updates were added)

I Run DriverPacks and exit

I add WPI (Windows Post Installer) and my other runonce / guirunonce files

I now return to nLite and create my beta ISO...

Test beta ISO in VMWare (or virtualbox or whatever)

Burn tested known good Final ISO...

I hope that helps

Jeff

The advantage to copying / saving at each major step in the process I hope is obvious wink

Re: Slipstream downloaded XP updates?

ROFL...

Thanks for the one on one attention....blushing tongue
I would have gladly accepted a link to another thread or a little slap in the head saying " hey nimrod look over here"
But now i feel all warm and special inside just because of you Jeff. wink

I admit i jump the gun on asking before searching, especially when it's one of my own posts and im in the zone.
I have a tendency to post questions like I did, and then go hunting for the answers right afterwards.
Granted i didnt go hunting for answers right away this time....I guess somehow i knew my questions would be answered by a higher being...LOL
Just one of those things i guess... silly monkeys.

Thanks again Overflow.

Ill post back in the next few days with a thumbs up hopefully.

Anyone know if itunes is working properly with XP SP3 and the ipod nano yet?
Hadda throw it out there for the heck of it...had a brain fart.

OK OK...ill go and look for the answer...

Re: Slipstream downloaded XP updates?

FYI all...
It appears that there is no more "hanging startup" issue of itunes on XP SP3.  Atleast not with the latest version of itunes 8.1.1.10 on 4-18-09.

Sorry, hadda throw it out there smile
