Slipstream XP SP2 & Patches

wilf3102 · 6 Aug 2007 at 21:50

Hi there,

After a lengthy, and mind-numbing reinstall of my Windows XP Pro, and Service Pack 2... followed by a plethora of Windows Updates, i discovered the concept of 'Slipstreaming'.

I have seen various turorials on how to merge SP2 into an XP cd, for installing. I am happy with these tips, but have a slighly more ambitious request.

How would I, after Streamlining XP and SP2, be able to include all associated Windows Updates since the SP2 release, aswell as IE7 etc.
I found that once Service Pack 2 was installed, I had an increasing number of Patches, and IE7 required even more.

I would love to have a Steamlined CD to cover most Patches to date, to save at least several hours and multiple restarts.

Is this possible?

Many thanks,
Chris

The RyanVM link has a table of the updates. Count 'em.

If you include WMP11 and IE7 its nearly 90. =/ very carpy! (iirc)

Sorry about pinching your thread, I've got a similar question...

Anyone know what the Vista update pack is called? I vaguely remember it being mentioned on here but the search button has gone so I can't find it.

Thanks

I don't know if I'm confused here but I'm sure there was pack from a different site.

Thanks for that though.

I think it was similar to that.

Damn, life sucks without the search button
