AutoPatcher XP SlipStream Custom Guide

[eds]

Just a real quick question. Is this going to be compatible for the Jan release of autopatcher?

Just a real quick question. Is this going to be compatible for the Jan release of autopatcher?

Thats the plan, i am awaiting the new release and it is crucial to the next release that

i have. if all goes as i anticipate, then the Jan release will work just fine w/ this version too.!!

I have made your slipstream disc but on boot up from Cd I get this error

Invalid line on 21

AutoLogonCount=2 REM - do not change this!!

I had this...

Its a bit ironic really... remove the following from the line, and all should be ok :D

REM - do not change this!!

[Shifty]

ya, for some dumb reason i accientally put that line in there during an early beta test.

during the last part of cleaning up the formatting, i accientally hit delete and the line got bumped up there next to that line.

it was supposed to look like this...

REM - DO NOT CHANGE THIS VALUE

AUTOLOGONCOUNT=2

[c4rl0s]

:) ah lol ye, ive noticed that too!!,

[cpugeniusmv]

actually...

"rem" shouldn't be in winnt.sif at all.

it's not a batch file.

[eds]

Yes REM shouldnt be there, thats why theres an error. The line in the BAT file that was writing to WINNT.SIF included the comment line.

[Shifty]

actually the correct way its written, REM actually doesnt get written to the winnt.sif file.

its just part of the batch file.

i cant believe i actually messed that up!! sloppy to say the least!!

im going to be working on the second release hardcore on saturday... cpugeniusmv, i hope you're free saturday!!

Just wondering aloud whats going to be in the second release.

I got an email asking if the new AP for January will be compatible with this current release and the answer is YES!!

1.) If you got the FULL version

-just follow the directions in the batch

2.)If you got the UPDATED version

-extract all the new files to the root of the AP folder to over-write the older files and the new ones

-start the batch and follow the directions

its super easy to get the January edition Slipped.

At this point you should be using CDRW's for this task, so you wont waste CD-Rs

[Venturas]

anybody can host a mirror for it since neowin backup gets screwed at the end? cheers

[leedogg]

OH MY GOD I just found this thread. This was just wishful thinking and one of my initial requests way back in the first autopatcher threads...I cant believe it. Thank you!! :) Very nicely documented btw..

[Venturas]

:cry:

[SJPR]

This might be a very stupid question but her I GO.

What is SlipStream and what does it do? :wacko:

[Psy]

it creates a winxp install disk with the updates and service packs included.. saves from running the update after a clean os install and waiting for all the downloads.. very nice indeed.

[flash_st]

hmm...any guides to a NOT unattended slipstreamed cd???...i'm gonna use this on various boxes & i want to configure each & one of them uniquely....

if i delete the unatended section of the batch file will do???

thnx for your answers

p.s looks like i'm in for another format...want to try jan update slipstreamed cause installing it afterwards gives me the known error!

[Gergith]

hey, im ignorant, and im pretty sure i read most threads, and skimmed in the rest, so thats how i shall justify this post. so appologize if it has already been asked.

this uses an origional windows xp cd, but what if my cd is ALREADY slipstreamed? so mine is wixp sp1 type thing thats all on one cd, i shouldnt have to explain this, im just high and it seems logical to! ANYWAYS, thats my question

[Shifty]

for many of you, you have a CD that is already slipped w/ sp1... all you have to do

is delete out of the batch file the part about slipstreaming it.

save the batch file and then run it. it will slip APXP too.

i will have a modular batch file download for the second release of the SLIPXP ready here by Wednesday night.

>>flash_st ~

if you need to make various install CD's you can always extract the winnt.sif file from the i386 folder

and edit that to include CD keys and various user settings, copy that back to the i386 and burn the

new CD. its much easier that way than running that batch file over and over again for each CD.

[Venturas]

can we already ad programs to automaticly install with winxp with this release?

Would be great to have a DVD with all patches, programs, favorites,etc..

[c4rl0s]

Not Yet rudzer ;)

they're doing hard work as we speak to make it possible in the future. I've seen some screenshots from Hotblack's work , and studied the batch file a bit and i must say it looks very promising! :cool:

[Venturas]

lets hope it comes out real soon and works ok then :D

[Shifty]

if you all want to put in any input please post some stuff here:

Ok what did I do wrong, I did everything as normal

and when I boot the computer it says something about "bios.inf is wrong"

at a blackscreen

I did everything as told to precisely in the guide.
