Re-upload of XP SP4 OPK with missing networking files added.
Latest XP SP4 OPK below.

Just finished uploading a second XP SP4 OPK ISO with SCSI integration:

To build this version, using the bootloader from Server 2003 OPK was necessary. See post below for download information.

The Windows XP OEM Preinstallation Kit, or OPK for short, includes the Windows XP version of Windows Preinstallation Environment (PE) and some tools that can be useful for system builders while deploying Windows XP to client machines. Windows XP Service Pack 3 OPK has been updated to include the latest Windows XP SP4 v3.1b system binaries. You can download the updated ISO from the Windows XP Preinstallation Environment Cloud Folder. Updated components include, but are not limited to:
- Windows Installer 4.5 core (cannot install MSIs)
- Windows Scripting Host 5.7 (from IE8 update)
- ADO core
- Base drivers and kernel

ISO file name WITHOUT any customizations other than slipstreaming SP4 system update: XPSP4OPK.iso
SHA1: c1f59eaa715a0ae0a7a9a9b67342c2a4b64e22ac

ISO file name with DP_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32_1209 SCSI drivers: XPSP4OPK_SCSI.iso
SHA1 Hash: a41410a892eb5bd58e1a4fcc3dacecb6ce0c12b1

Yes, that's right! You can now boot OEM Preinstallation Kit - Windows XP SP4 Preinstallation Environment on modern hardware!

A full list of integrated SCSI adaptors can be found in the SCSIDRVS.RTF - same as the ones inside DP_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32_1209!!
Furthermore, this SCSI OPK ISO release includes *ALL* deployment tools for XP SP3 (and SP4) - including special addons from the POSReady 2009 installation disk. A readme file I wrote (located in the TOOLS folder) may be enlightening.

Extra: If interested in XP Embedded deployment, you can:
i) Install the full XP SP2 Embedded Deployment Suite and apply the related binaries found in SP4 OPK there (FBA, etc.). Get XP Embedded SP2 as described here: https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=36246 and apply the Windows XP Embedded Service Pack 2 Feature Pack 2007 (https://www.softpedia.com/get/Programmi ... Pack.shtml). OR
ii) Search online for Windows Embedded Standard 2009 (XP Embedded SP3) ISO.

For novice users that do not want to wait for 20-30 minutes after installing XP SP4 AND rebooting
For all .NET haters...

A NEW RELEASE OF UNOFFICIAL SP4 3.1B WITHOUT .NET FRAMEWORK

This release will not install .NET Framework in both live and slipstreamed install, unless:
- Media Center Edition is used -> .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 is installed
- Tablet PC Edition is used -> .NET Framework 1.0 SP3 is installed

Users can still install .NET FWs of their choice from the Add/Remove Components wizard in Control Panel

This alternative installation SP4 release is called: WindowsXP-USP4-v3.1b-NODOTNET-x86-ENU.exe available from main Google Drive folder.

Hi GHost

Could you please check your download link.
File has been taken down according to the message there?

Well, looks like we can’t go any further

The file you requested has been removed from MediaFire

GH0st · Post by **GH0st** » Thu Nov 29, 2018 10:08 am

Wondering if anyone has an idea as to what I should do here. I chose to upload my updater to Mediafire because others upload their update files to there, seemingly with no problem. Mine has been flagged and now disabled.

I started a counter-claim

Edit: To add, that just renamed the file

Hello All

Does Windows XP SP4 Unofficial Final Version 3.1b include Dibya's RAM limitation 32bit removal (Windows XPx86 extend to 128GB) Listed here? viewtopic.php?f=7&t=10547&hilit=xp+ram

GH0st · Post by **GH0st** » Sun Dec 02, 2018 1:42 am

I'm thinking there is no way they looked at the file ... just flagged it based on the name alone, so if I rename it, "GH0stPak_01Dec18", it shouldn't even be noticed!

Gh0st - None of the links for your post-USP4 hotfix pack work anymore. I tried all the way back to May - they're either removed by MediaFire or dead links.

Upload it to your Google Drive! You can get shareable links for individual files without people accessing the whole drive.

GH0st · Post by **GH0st** » Fri Dec 07, 2018 8:02 pm

I have deleted the older versions myself and renamed this new one. Which has been Downloaded 73 times. Does not work at this time. Will consider other ways soon

themaritimegirl · Post by **themaritimegirl** » Mon Dec 17, 2018 4:22 pm

Any update on this? Is there a concern that's keeping you from using Google Drive?

GH0st · Post by **GH0st** » Tue Dec 18, 2018 12:12 am

Update dated 17Dec18

Please, Let me know if it downloads correctly!

Ii haven't tried to install it, but it seems to download correctly, at least for now.

GH0st · Post by **GH0st** » Tue Dec 18, 2018 2:08 am

Thanks, would you check again for me please, made some changes. Also, look at my Hotfix installer page, see if its looks correct and if you can access the google drive page, which has folder with OLDER stuff in it. see if you can download stuff from with in there too please!

GH0st · Post by **GH0st** » Tue Dec 18, 2018 10:24 am

I did do a install on my current (dirty) install, as well as the latest Abbodi dotnet updater ... all is great!

bphlpt · Post by **bphlpt** » Tue Dec 18, 2018 3:28 pm

I'm not sure I understand. By your "Hotfix installer page" do you mean the post in this thread that your "WinXP Post uSP4 Hotfix Installer" link in your sig links to? If so, I think it looks fine, but like I've said before, it has now been quite awhile since I've installed XP so I have no direct experience with your installer. The link in that post to the latest version of your installer and the link a few posts up from here are the same and link to the version I downloaded earlier this morning. You have not made any changes since then that I am aware of, so I'm not sure what you meant by your request that I check again. It downloads and opens fine and has the files that you list that it should, but I have not tried to install it or run your bat. Your Google Drive link works and I am able to download the older versions of your installer from there without issue. Sorry I'm not more help. I hope you have better luck with Google Drive than you had with MediaFire. I'm not sure why they gave you a hard time.

Cheers and Regards

themaritimegirl · Post by **themaritimegirl** » Tue Dec 18, 2018 7:31 pm

Downloaded and installed fine for me! Thanks for your work!

GH0st · Post by **GH0st** » Wed Dec 19, 2018 12:22 am

Yeah, I just wanted someone to check see if they all DL'ed fine and Google Drive could be accessed by people other than myself. All seems good.

I too am not sure why media fire had issues with it. But, I closed that account. Hoping Google is ok with what I am doing! Crossing fingers!

I have some questions. I'd like to update my Windows XP using this but it is German. Does that mean I'd have to reinstall it to make it english so the SP4 update pack can run?
Otherwise I can only install updates manually, I guess...

Nice updates, been away for a while and I'll try out my windows XP MCE to see how that works.

Can you provide the original link for Abbodi's .Net installer:

dotNetFx_AIO_x86_20190108.zip

I used to monitor Abbodi's posts on Repacks.net but that site seems to have gone offline lately:

bphlpt · Post by **bphlpt** » Sun Jan 13, 2019 5:44 am

Look above at Ghost's sig. Click the "WinXP Post uSP4 Hotfix Installer" link. When that opens, click the "abbodi86 AIO dotNet update installer" link in that post. That will take you to Abbodi's repository where you can download the file you need.

Cheers and Regards

Thanks. For the record, here is the latest link to Abbodi's pastebin repository:

Hello, I've downloaded your Xp pack SP4 from iCloud. I'm trying to install it on a Oracle Virtual Machine but I have no clue how to install the compress.rar downloaded file. I have uncompressed your file, looking between many folders, but I can't find any file like you describe into any folder. (WindowsXP-USP4-v3.1b-x86-ENU.exe seems to be what to install first, but I have not found yet). All windows xp official downloads of mine are installed and running. Is it possible to install your SP4 on a Virtual Machine? How?

Nice project, my name is Juan Pablo.
Thanks in advance.

GH0st · Post by **GH0st** » Sun Jan 13, 2019 8:47 pm

Lex, if you look at my Google drive, you will see the author of that download (dotNetFx_AIO_x86_20190108) is abbodi ... its from his google drive, he shared it to me! So it is a direct link

Lex24 · Post by **Lex24** » Mon Jan 14, 2019 3:00 am

Thanks GH0st , I've noticed that. When you have a chance maybe you could suggest to Abbodi to create a thread somewhere on RyanVM board, if Repacks forums have really gone out of business. He has been doing some excellent work with .Net update installers and right now there is no easy way to refer others to his work. There are lots of dedicated XP users out there, on different forums, who could be interested in his installers, but they might be suspicious when asked to download a file directly from Google Drive, Mega.nz, etc. when they have no background information about the author of the file.

GH0st · Post by **GH0st** » Mon Jan 14, 2019 3:32 pm

I hear your point ... but ... the link to his "Pastebin" is his site ... works for me! He himself shared it to my google drive, so I posted it as such.

I do love his work, and have been pleased with it for well over a year (or so) now. Hope he continues with his project. I will continue with mine, at least till its EOL, which is just a few months away. Not sure what will be available after May2019.

Repacks forums seem to be back online (although there are still some intermittent blackouts) and Abbodi has updated the link to his dotNetFx_AIO_x86 on Pastebin to its latest version (2019-01-08). It's in the post dated 2018-12-11:

ok, This is the forth time I have gotten a DMCA Violation on this update pack. Now this time its from Google regarding my google drive. So guess my project ends here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its been deleted on Google drive ... but they did not remove the older versions, which other sites declared to a violations in past months.

Anyone else have a better idea? We only have a few months to go before the XP's 2nd EOL. Would be nice to continue with this pack, then have a final version.

Google Drive is not very good anyway.
Use an other filehoster (I recommend MEGA or Mediafire, zippyshare is also very good and don't even need an account, but the file is deleted after 30 days of inactivity).

You should encrypt/hide your link so copyrights robots can't find them.

One thing used often: encode your URL with https://www.base64encode.org/ and tell your users to decode it with https://www.base64decode.org/

Or you can use a service that will hide your url, example: https://filecrypt.cc/Create.html

GH0st · Post by **GH0st** » Tue Jan 22, 2019 2:51 pm

I have used Mega, Mediafire and zippy ... not having the success needed! Will think on this more

Post by **mooms** » Tue Jan 22, 2019 9:03 pm

You must hide your link from copyright robots as I explained.
