Make that another donation :) I don't have much money at the moment but I threw you a couple of bucks for all the hard work you've done over the years. I've been using your update packs for years now and really appreciate all the time and work you put into it, so donating a few bucks towards your ne...

Ryan, THANK YOU for the final of this. Its gives me a reason to rebuild my PC now...

DJB

I assume so.

Hey there. I just slipstreamed SP3 into my SP2 ISO, and now I have 2 .cab files (sp2.cab and sp3.cab). At this point I have two questions: 1) How can I clean up this ISO (can I remove SP2.cab or any other files safely)? 2) How can I make sure this ISO will be RyanVM friendly, so when it comes time f...

@MrNxDmX You would need Server 2003 to create a domain, unfortunately XP can only join one. I hope to see a beta 3 soon would be lovely to have all the updates integrated instaed of me having to manually edit svcpack.inf and add them after your installer. I can also confirm that beta 2 worked flawle...

@roirraW "edor" Fair enough I didnt know, it was just an idea that popped into my head, I didnt realise it wouldn't be compatible. An update for ppl wondering about if the XP+MCE can join a domain, I think it can. :) If you right-click on My Computer, go to Properties, then the Computer Name tab, it...

Just a quick question, as stupid as it may sound lol.

Apart from being able to integrate MCE into a coroprate XP version (allowing you to use a coroprate key to register), is there any other advantages from using this XP+MCE version that I wouldnt get from a true MCE?

DJB

Can anyone tell me what kb's are needed from SP3 for MCE?

DJB

I know this is a little off-topic, but could someone give me a link or a list of the hotfixes needed to get MCE up to date? I wanna make a silent .exe installer to run after the MCE install.

DJB

Cool, will test the new beta and let you know how it goes.

DJB

@Stimpy

If it's true that would be news to me too, personally I think I'd have to agree with Signet on this one.

DJB

SUCCESS !! :twisted: I used this in my svcpack.inf file: [SetupHotfixesToRun] 0_dotNET11SP1.exe 0_dotNET10SP3.exe NR_IT.exe 01DNF20.exe <-- .NET Framework 2.0 No errors came up at all :) This was built with a Corporate version too, so I'm thinking that it should run on all versions, it was just my m...

DJB

OK, I checked my svcpack.inf file, and this is what it was: [SetupHotfixesToRun] 00DNF11.exe 01DNF20.exe (.net 1.1 and 2.0 installers) 0_dotNET11SP1.exe 0_dotNET10SP3.exe NR_IT.exe Now, the 00DNF11.exe and 01DNF20.exe files were inserted by me via another update pack. So, I'm thinking... If I move 0...

DJB

Email sent. Updated CAB files would be great, coz I cant seem to integrate electrogen's update pack with it, for some weird reason it removes neede files. :? The idea of making them all seperate is good too, that way it can be left up to the end-user to decide. But personally I think a lot of us onl...

DJB

@MrNxDmX Shoot me a PM with your email address and I can send you a screenshot and log file. Also I think what UtCollector means is to remove the PLUS components, so its basically just the normal Media Center. Personally I'd remove the SONIC.CAB also coz I don't need it, I have Nero if I want to bur...

DJB

OK I finally got a chance to test it.

It appears to be OK but it came up saying that it had problems registering MCE when it was installing.

Should I be trynig this with a Retail or OEM version of XP instead of a Corporate version?

DJB

Sweet downloading and testing this now...

BTW if possible you should just rely on the files from the DVD, makes downloading time quicker for us less uploading needed by you

DJB

Honestly I dont think there will be many changes from beta 4, maybe a few M$ updates but you can always grab them online.

DJB

Come on people. Give us a break. Me and Ryan... have both lost many hours of sleep trying to perfect this. It isn't very cool to be pushy. Trust me we want a final version as well. But it is more important that we make sure it is stable. I second that. The current beta is more than reliable, put it...

DJB

I have got that request a few times. I will be putting one together. Thanks :) Hopefully it can be ready in time for RyanVM's 2.2.1. Why i cant download all your uploads? I think that skydrive doesnt work in the Netherlands. I push Download, nothing happens Seems to work fine here in Australia. May...

DJB

Hi, I've noticed you've make quite a few AIO Skin Packs...

Just a small request, would it be possible for you to make ONE big addon pack with all your skins? It would help my integration script a little shorter.

Thanks in advance.

DJB

Thanks for the betas Ryan and Siginet.

It will be nice when we can see final versions of both.

Not meaning to be impatient, but I'm just wondering if theres any idea when these will become final for this build?

DJB

I've been using RyanVM's update packs for some time now, and thats the only update packs I use.

He knows that he is doing, even though its near killing me for this new update lol.

RyanVM all the way for me.

DJB

Thanks for the heads up, might have a look at it and see what they've done lately, haven't used it in ages.

DJB

Yup, and remember its been a while since Ryan has done this, so it may take a little while...

How's that for timing, I came here looking to see if you've done an update or not, and here we go

Looking forward to if so I can build a new XP disc.

BTW, good to see you back in action again.

DJB

Thank you

DJB

Hey guys.

Just wondering if anyone has a list of the critical updates that have come out from M$ since Ryan's last Update Pack.

Thanks in advance

BTW Sorry if this info has been posted on this forums somewhere else

DJB

BTW, I love the Stewie avatar lol. Big Family Guy fan myself.

DJB

Thank you very mcuh Ryan, I can rebuild this damned PC that's in desperate need now. I wish you the best of luck with everything in your life, all I hope is that we do see you around from time to time with a release. I understand that you're entering a new chapter in your life and you'll need a lot ...

DJB

Some people have asked me about intergrating RyanVM's updates into Windows Fundementals, and from what I've seen it wont be easy at all. The disc is a totally different structure to your normal Windows XP installation disc, so obviously the current version of RyanVM Integrator wont work (well didnt ...

DJB

Best of luck with the degree and the new job Ryan :) I know what starting a new job can do to projects, as I started work 4 months ago and the things I've been doing have been slowed down a fair bit. Hopefully you can get 2.1.11 released quickly (as I'm in DESPERATE need of a rebuild lol). Honestly,...

DJB

Sane here, just using the Torrent Tracker to download these updates. I was also have problems with the normal HTTP Downloads so I just used this instead. LIGHTNING quick too :) The only bad thing is I was nearly ready to release a DVD and now Ryan has gone and updated everything, good timing indeed ...

DJB

Is it possible to integrate the new 2.1.2a update and 2.1.2 into one file?

DJB

Did anyone ever manage to integrate the Rollup updates properly? I am currently downloading the new version of the update pack but I don't see any mentinon of MCE... I had a play at it one time, but couldn't get it to work properly. I'm hoping that Ryan will someday find the kindness in his heart a...

DJB

OK, tried WinUpdatesList and it showed that they weren't installed.

I've extracted all the files from the updates to seperate folders, where would I go from here?
If you don't feel like explaining something that's already on the site, just link me

DJB

You have to extract the hotfixes with "hotfix.exe -x" and then give it a directory to store the output to get the actual DLL/SYS/etc files. (Where "hotfix.exe" is the name of the file, such as KB888795.exe) (Or, if you already have a directory for them: hotfix.exe -x:"X:\%dir%" where X is the drive...

I'm gonna try WinUpdatesList and see what it says. Just about to do a clean install on a virtual PC and take a look.

DJB

MCE Updates can be directly integrated into the MCE cab, though Could you please link me to a page where this is described Ryan? I extracted the hotfix exe's and took a look, and all I could see were files like _sfx_0000._p, _sfx_0001._p etc, and the update folder doesn't even contain an update.exe...

DJB

Hey Guys I tried to make a MCE update pack, using the RyanVM integrator as the means of putting it into a CD. I'm thinking that my updatepack is not working 100% though, so I'd like some assistance if possible. This is a rundown on what I've done. * Firstly I made 7-zip switchless installers (even u...

May god bless you ryan, integrating the 1.31 pack into a clean SP2 disc now

DJB

Congrats Ryan and to your new bride. May you have a lifetime of happiness together

DJB

True. At the end of the day we all contribue to the one purpose.

Just can't wait until another update pack comes out, it's been a while and I really like the system you've used up to now.

DJB

RyanVM wrote:You know, I half-think he got his list from my site

Wouldn't be surprised, you're pretty damn reliable when it comes to this. Just think how many ppl would know about u through the MSFN forums aswell.

DJB

I say we throw Ryan a party. :D We'll get him drunk and then steal 1.3.0 and run away and leave his house all a mess. 8) Sure it doesn't have the gui yet, but I'd still steal it. :wink: LMAO, Don't tempt me, I'll fly over to the U.S. just for that. On other thoughts I think I might just be patient ...

DJB

Thanks Ryan for all the hard work you've done with these update packs. I've been using them for quite some time now and really appreciate the ease of being able to slipstream them straight into my ISO.

Major Respect !!
