Updated the original text with all hotfixes I have now, threw in the contents of teh associated batch file.
Working on that answer file/unattended... wasn't happy with the way everything would be installed to the system drive... I don't like to have anything besides Windows on that drive/in that directory, but I found something that MSFN doesn't appear to mention in their unattended dialog-- you can redirect install files to a different drive/folder by creating a folder under $OEM$ with the drive letter as such: $OEM$/D Anything under that folder will be installed to the D:\ drive.

That's a good question, Randy. At this moment I don't know... when I get home I'll fire up the slipstreamed machine and take a look. I am not familiar with Flexbeta, so I can't answer you on that one. |

Dngrsone, check this link:
http://flexbeta.net/slipstreamerxp/ It seems pretty cool, but I have not used this yet. It looks like an actual MS OS installer type configuration. Anyway, let us know about the Hotfixes. I just hate seeing 10 or more entries in the Program List just for Hotfixes (I'm not sure if this is really affecting performance or not, but I would think having this integtrated into the OS would be wise...).

Thanks, Randy. It looks like this utility just slipstreams Service Packs, not the subsequent hotfixes.
I'd have an answer for you already on those entries, but no sooner did I get than I got called back to work Won't get back home until midnight or later. |

I'm all ears! Let us know at your convenience. PS - Do you think having the Hotfixes installed as seperate "programs" could negatively affect the OS's performance (versus integrating the Hotfixes into the OS itself)? Just curious if this has any relevance to system stability or avalible resources/memory allocation...

I don't think so... I do it mostly to avoid spending ten hours online trying to download all the stoopid hotfixes with Autoupdate... cheapskate dial-up kinda guy, you know.

Randy, it looks like it creates one folder holding all the hotfixes and that's it, which is far better than the mess we get through regular updates.

Anybody remember me? lol. It's been awhile, I was pretty sick for a few weeks. Anyway, I'm back and mostly
back up to speed again. When you slipstream hotifixes, it actually applies them to the files used to install the OS. The only changes that would be made after the OS was loaded would be like registry changes and such. Basically, what I'm saying is, the hotfix is applied directly to the system files. Dngr, you can probably safely delete your hotfix folder. I'm guessing it only contains unistall information. I'll have to do a little more homework to be sure.
