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.
    • Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug by Taras Buria Forza Horizon 6 was launched last month to critical acclaim (check out our review here), and it became a smash hit in an instant. Now, weeks into the launch, with die-hard fans clocking hundreds of hours, Forza Horizon 6 is facing a serious issue: save wipes. After multiple complaints on Reddit and social media, the studio issued a statement. The problem with missing saves came shortly after Playground Games promised the initial batch of gameplay tweaks and improvements. Unfortunately, there seems to be no temporary fixes for those affected by unexpected save wipes. However, the studio published a new support document with a few important steps users should try. First, affected gamers should open a support ticket immediately (go here to file one) so that the support team can try recovering the lost progress by reverting to an earlier save. Playground Games says this should be done the same day the issue occurs. Meanwhile, gamers are urged not to start new play sessions or create new saves. The studio also published a few things gamers should try to avoid to prevent potential progress loss: Ensure your Gaming Services app on PC or XBOX Series X|S console is fully up to date. On XBOX Series X|S consoles, disable Quick Resume for Forza Horizon 6: To disable Forza Horizon 6 from using Quick Resume, highlight the game box art anywhere in the console experience (Home, My Games & Apps, Pins, etc) and then press the Menu button, then go to Manage game and add-ons > Quick Resume settings > Disable Quick Resume. Ensure you are online when ‘quitting’ the game. Give your saved time to sync to the cloud before powering off or switching devices. Do not force quit the game during save screens. Do not power off the device during gameplay. Always "Quit" (console) or "Exit to desktop" (PC) once you've finished your play session, ensuring the save icon is not visible when you’re closing the game. Before turning off your console, shutting down your PC, or force-closing the Steam app, give your devices or clients at least a few minutes to ensure your latest progress has been synchronized with the cloud. This will reduce the risk of progress reversions as you switch between different platforms. XBOX Series X|S consoles, Steam, and the XBOX app on PC all include game save indicators that confirm your progress has been synced. You can read more about the bug in the official support document here. Forza Horizon 6 is currently available on PC (Steam and the Microsoft Store), Xbox Series X|S, and Game Pass. The game is also coming to PlayStation 5 later this year.
