There are threads all over the place that describe this very issue, but this thread goes back to July where Raptor, who created Autostreamer, stated the likelihood of this.

When he gets back from vacation he will no doubt fix this. It misreports it, but the slip works fine.

I belive it was developed in XP, but I don't recall Raptor telling me that it had to be run from XP. I really wish he would get back from vacation soon. There are so many little issues that I cannot answer because he didn't give me all that information while we were developing it. I'm glad he gave it the capability of slipstreaming 2000, XP, and 2k3...but your question still bothers me (not to mention the runtime errors other have reported).

I mentioned this a few pages back, here.

If you slip SP2 outside of Autostreamer using update.exe you get the error message shown below. As of today, I have yet to find a fix for it, although it is not an AS issue; must be a Microsoft thing.

Have to do it in XP...

Ok like many b/4 have said this is a great utility. BUT, I am having a slight problem that when I try to create the .iso file it is only creating a file that is like 1.31Mb. Definantly not a good .iso file for this. I have tried multiple times. I am using an XP Sp1 CD for the source and the Sp2 file that I downloaded from the M$ webstie. Any suggestions or hints on this. On the first screen all of the information is coming up as many other have shown with their screenshots but for some reason it just won't make a proper .iso for me.

NOTE TO ALL: If your Dell CD fails to slipstream it's not because it's a restore CD, it just has some hotfixes slipstreamed in a funky way and it needs to be cleaned up. ...

And how does one go about doing this?

Has anyone come up with a fix/workaround for the run-time 5 error?

I'm still wanting to know the same thing -- I think it's related to the point I quoted above.

I'm still wanting to know the same thing -- I think it's related to the point I quoted above.

Got the most recent Dell OEM CD I could find (July 2003). In the I386 directory do the following:

1. Delete the directory "SVCPACK" or "UPDATE"

2. Delete the file "SVCPACK.INF"

3. Delete all files named "Q??????.EXE"

4. Delete the following lines in "DOSNET.INF":

[OptionalSrcDirs]svcpack

Now you should be able to slipstream it

When I click next for the first time I get this error

Run-Time error '429':

ActiveX compentent cannot create object

I also can't get past the first screen... Press "Next" and the same error message appears.

I am logged on as Administrator with FULL read/write permissions.

I am not missing the msvbvm60.dll. In fact running "FileMon" shows that AutoStreamer is finding everything it needs.

I have tried re-booting and closing down all my background apps.

There seems to be at least four of us now (maybe more) with the same problem.

Any advice would be welcomed. :huh:

Running WinXP Corp. SP-1 with all Microsoft Updates.

is developer support for this already dead? you'd think with the excitement and amount of feedback its getting, it would be getting alot of attention for further development and fixes, but it seems to have stagnated already

Raptor is away on vacation. He will be get back on the bug issues and updates when he returns

When you get your Error 5, are you running AS from your desktop?? I've seen a few people with this error and it was fixed by running it from a "real" folder on their system. I'm hoping this is what is causing error 5, hopefully I can help figure out the others also.

    • Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
