I'm having a couple of strange issues ever since I integrated the December Update pack into my XP x64. Didn't experience this when using older update packs, and my hardware hasn't changed much. Everything appeared normal in RVM log, and it works fine after my issue which you can read about below.

Check out the issue here:

Any updates in the Dec or Nov pack that may cause something as weird as this? I'm not sure what it is, so I'm just trying to find out anywhere I can.

Thanks for the year's first pack, 5eraph! It'll go to use just like the previous ones. Wink

Many thanks again from your friend in Atlanta and my Acer laptop that's returned from WIN7 to XP64 and working great! You are the best.

Hi,all ! Thank's for job,5eraph !
But I have problem with integration update pack. I can't install driver nvidia after installation windows and receive message:
"nvidia control panel could not be installed which may affect driver functionality. the most recent driver that worked will now be restored".Tried following drivers - 197.13_desktop_winxp_64bit_english_whql, 266.58_desktop_winxp_64bit_english_whql.
Checked december and january pack(separately, of course).Used кecommended RVM integrator.Thus all properly with standard windows xpsp2 x64 without updatings. May be this problem was debated and solved,but I ask to help, because my English is not so good to be guided at a forum.
Thks.

It seems to be a common error message. I wish it were more specific. The only solution I can currently find that might work in this case is to download the package, extract it, and install it manually.

I have an ATI card, so I'm afraid I can't test the solution here.

Yes, it's really sad that the XP64 drivers NVidia supplies aren't integrating as they should. I too had to do a lot of extra work because of that, and I've put installation with the image on hold.

I think I may have finally found the cause of oao's issue with KB901105. The relevant bits are quoted below.

I'm still missing a way to update mass storage drivers on a XP x64 source, does anyone have any news on this? something like driverpacks would be great! Smile

mark strelecki · Joined: 10 Jun 2008 Posts: 45 Location: Atlanta GA USA

nLite will slipstream drivers in an XP64 source.

Still going strong using your packs. Heroic work you're doing for those who don't feel like 'upgrading' to Windows 7 (or waste diskspace). Thanks!

I'm still using it as my main OS, so I'll keep churning out the packs for as long as I'm able.

Just a quickie to say that 2011_3_1 is working fine (again!), and THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your devotion to this platform.

I'm sure others are wondering about your continued motivation to maintain this sterling update pack, what with the messianic arrival of W7.

I tried W7 on the laptop, but XP64 just works FASTER and is way more FAMILIAR, so I'm back to using it there. I am toying with the notion of returning my main production system to XP64, as well.

You see, if it were not for your fine work and diligence, I would HAVE to move to W7 (Linux is still Not Ready For Primetime).

Many and assorted blessings of health and happiness are showered on you and yours from a grateful lurker somewhere in the great South.

Win7 doesn't offer anything I really need at the moment. My old hardware can't take full advantage of the increased eye candy without degrading performance. And I'm putting off building a new machine until I have need of the better hardware. WinXP remains relevant to my interests.

I'm having a strange issue that I've never seen before when slipstreaming.

First, I've got a copy of XP x64 SP2 that I installed without issue. When I hit windows update, there were 99 critical updates and that got me looking for update packs I could slipstream in.

I ended up slipstreaming in your latest update pack, plus your IE8 (with updates) pack and made a new ISO using nLite.

I blew away my old partition and re-installed from the newly created image.

This time, during the installation, I kept getting pop-up dialogs telling me that my drivers weren't signed or something along those lines. I probably should have taken a picture.

I didn't add any drivers to the new CD image. They should have been identical to the drivers from the original image, but this time, I get warnings.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Have you seen this before?

For some reason, certain entries in WinNT.sif often cause problems for XPx64. In this case, krick, removing NonDriverSigningPolicy fixes the problem (Authenticode and GrpConv.exe warnings). Smile

error

I have a working win xp 64, after I merge the update pack I get this error as the installer is just starting (second blue screen, were it has the count down timer)

Error:

The signature for Windows XP Professional Setup is invalid. The error code is 57.

The parameter is incorrect.

***

Fatal Error:

Setup failed to install the product catalogs. This is a fatal error. The setup log files should contain more information.

***

I tried integrating with both ryans and nlite to same effect..

Im using Winsetupfromusb 1.0 beta 7 is this the problem ? (tho it works fine on standard install).

What are you folks using after you have integrated ? like your not still burning cds I hope ? Very Happy

Jonny

5eraph · Posted: Sat May 07, 2011 6:06 pm Post subject:

This is the first I've heard of WinSetupFromUSB. Until I become familiar with it, I'm afraid I can't advise you on its use.

I test ISOs created by RVMi and nLite in VirtualBox for every release. And I've begun testing a burned DVD-RW on real hardware once a month.

Thanks for the release Surprised

If I use ryanvm integrator for this, where do i put wmp7+updates and when to use wmp11slips1.4i?

5eraph · Posted: Wed May 11, 2011 12:26 am Post subject:

You're welcome. Smile

If you mean IE7+updates then you must use nLite, as I have no addon for that.

Use the WMP11 Slipstreamer after integrating the update pack with RVMi but before creating the ISO.

Yeah ie7+ updates and mp11 slipstreamer *sorry*

Hello 5eraph!
Thank you for such a nice project, I want to advice you to include following additional hotfixes, that you skipped/forgot to include:
KB918033 - explorer.exe, wexplorer.exe
KB929134 - spoolss.dll
KB934016 - COM+ 1.5 Hotfix Rollup Package 12 (a lot of updated files)
KB943669 - eventcls.dll, ftdisk.sys, partmgr.sys, vss_ps.dll, vssadmin.exe, vssui.dll, wvss_ps.dll
KB949459-v2 - hal.dll
KB973678 - msv1_0.dll, wmsv1_0.dll

I've collected all thease hotfixes and uploaded them to web sharing storage, you can download them:

Thanks, Svyat, for the compliment and research. You are correct on all counts so far (still looking into KB934016, it's huge). I'll see what I can do about adding them to the pack within the next week. Smile

I also noticed that your pack has an outdated basesrv.dll.
There are two hotfixes that include newer version of basesrv.dll:
KB936087
KB936087-v2 - basesrv.dll 5.2.3790.4425 (I have only x86 version for Srv03 if you need it I can share)

But be careful to integrate this hotfix, because I tried direct integration (changing just file in distribution) and Windows could not be installed properly, I think you have to provide it with catalog file or something else.

Great news, Svyat, especially the spoolss.dll has been an issue at the workplace I had to 'explain' users wasn't at all my fault, so I'll be glad that's out of the way after the next pack.

I'll be 'forced' to deliver a clean new all purpose XP x64 'install release' for the workplace pretty soon (usually just before the summer holidays start here), so I'm anxiously awaiting the new pack, 5eraph. You're my hero for maintaining XP x64 like this. It's just perfect for the hardware and software they use at a (non-profit) organisation I do admin-work for. Some users there often ask me if I can tell them what version of Windows this is, because (nearly) everything 'just works' the way they want it to and the Windows versions they're using on their home-PC's and notebooks etc. are "all crap" and "sluggish" and "demanding" according to them. With packs like these and admins like me I think Microsoft would still be able to sell XP x64 Edition discs to millions of users out there, but who am I?

Correct, Passion. But as stated in that article, some 16-bit installers are recognized by XPx64 and converted to 32-bit—where the new wow32.dll comes into play.
