I just installed AutoPatcher XP Dec 2005. Now my scripts (ASP, VBS) do not work with my company's "Service". I can't seem to call CreateXMLDocument() anymore.. even though it's visibly listed in the API tree in my VBS Edit IDE. I get:

GobjService.CreateXMLDocument, Err=-2147467259 The method CreateXMLDocument in interface Application has not yet been implemented

HTTP 500.100 - Internal Server Error - ASP error

Internet Information Services

Error Type:

The method CreateXMLDocument in interface Application has not yet been implemented

/Recipe\General\ServiceClass.asp, line 99

This used to work yesterday! I started getting this problem after installing AutoPatcher XP Dec 2005 on my work PC.

Help!

thanx.

can it use an AUTOPATCHER as a SP?

I mean after make a WIN+SP iso add AUTOPATCHER files to it

You cannot slipstream AutoPatcher as a service pack, no, because AutoPatcher is not a service pack. :wacko:

However, in the next version of AutoStreamer, you will be able to slipstream hotfixes into your ISO. (Until Then, you could use something like nlite)

I tried the latest version of Autostreamer and got the Program error box relating to Upgrade.exe. I was able to close the box by clicking OK but it makes me wonder if the ISO file is actually good. So I ran the Slipstream process again and saved the ISO file to another location. I'm using an XP Pro Upgrade disk and got the SP2 file off a SP2 CD and using a Win2000 machine to run the Autostream program.

After I got the 2 ISO images, the size was the same - 548,460 but when I did a file compare, it said that the files were different. Shouldn't they be the same?? So I don't really trust Autostreamer. It is a nice idea but I don't think it really works like it should.

Going to try the Paul Thurrott method which uses the Integrate command in a command line window. People have been sucessful using this method. More steps required but at least it seems to work.

Just created install disk from a corporate WinXP and SP2 using Autostreamer 1.0.33. XP files were copied to my HDD first and the SP2 was downloaded. But when I try to use the CD, the computer boots to the screen "Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware" for a few seconds and then reboots in an endless cycle. Any ideas?

Thanks for any help! :(

I have tried using AutoStreamer 1.0.3.3 on my Dell's OEM Windows XP SP1 CD. I have already tried it twice however the resulting ISO always still comes out as SP1, and not SP2, when am using the full SP2 english.exe

Does anyone know about this issue?

Some Dell OEM disks (especially XP pro) have issues because they had additional XP update patches not slipstreamed but see

http://vbdotnet.home.comcast.net/XP_SP2.htm

for work around (especially the bit near the top of the page:

Click here to see if you need to use the manual slipstreaming method for your Dell Reinstallation CD

and the bit in red lower down:

"After copying the contents of the original install CD to folder... but before doing the slipstream process, you must delete the SVCPACK folder and its contents, then delete file: SVCPACK.INF from the i386 folder, then copy file: SVCPACK.IN_ from another XP CD to the i386 folder" ).

I think you could still use Autostreamer, if you delete those items before letting it proceed with the slIpstream. Or else use the manual method.

My Dell OEM XP SP1 home did not have those and gave no problems :-)

When I try to run Autostreamer, I get the message "The Slipstreaming process requires Windows 2000/ XP/2003

Autostreamer will now quit"

I have XP Home w/ SP2 and have reinstalled Autostreamer from multiple download sites. Any help here? I've found some "manual" slipstream methods but they look complex and I don't really have a "test system".

I'm really trying to fix a case where the compatibility wizard has no text in the buttons (could be video but all else seems OK) When I set compatibility manually via properties, it doesn't seem to work either. I'm trying to get my daughters older games to run (W98/ W95).

Will slipstreaming my XP Install & SP2 really help, seems a big risk......

A little help here,

Thanks,

somegeek (I am usually but this one has me stumped!)

Use a DVD? lol, Are you using a disc from an OEM or an official Windows disc?

I am using an OEM disc. I'm guessing that I'll have to eliminate some of the excess baggage that is included. Can I do that by selecting the "I want to manually customize my installation" option? If so, I'll just need to identify what is necessary and what is not.

Slipstream - I dont know if this is possible:

1. Slipstream IE6 to Win NT4 or Win2K.

2. Slipstream IE7 Beta 2 to Win XP.

3. Slipstream the latest Nvidia Forceware in 2000/XP.

4. Slipstream the office service pack 2 to Office 2003 installation cd.

5. And auto-insert the serial key for all of these installers. I hate to type it everytime I need to install them.

Please point me to a guide to accomplish each if its possible. Thanks a lot.

You can slipstream IE7 Beta 2 to Win XP

You can slipstream the latest Nvidia Forceware in 2000/XP.

You can slipstream the office service pack 2 to Office 2003 installation cd.

You can auto-insert the serial key for all of these installers

Have fun! :D

I am not certain about first one, but chances are it is doable.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.
    • I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
    • ive always been fascinated by old software this is an old video player for windows from apple
    • In the way that you framed it incorrectly. You wrote: "The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install" There's no "constant need to close all browser sessions". That's factually incorrect. The browser downloads its updates in the background and installs them when you open it again. Silently. And there's no "wait for a new version to install", updates are small and take 2-3 extra seconds AT MOST, if any. If you have an SSD, there's zero extra time. Also, every mainstream browser operates this way. Firefox, the FOSS go-to browser, the default on almost every Linux distro, does exactly the same. Also, you don't need to constantly restart Edge for updates to install, you can completely ignore them and it doesn't even ask you to handle them, it's all silent and automatic. So I don't understand what else do you want.
