Automatically Slipstream Windows XP with SP2 and All Post-SP2 Security Hotfixes with a Single Command (Updated 03-May-09)

Submitted by ross on Sun, 05/03/2009 - 08:25

For information about slipstreaming Windows XP SP3, visit http://smithii.com/slipstream_xpsp3.

I've written the batch file xpsp2.cmd (updated 03-May-09) to automatically download and slipstream a standard Windows XP boot disk with Service Pack 2 and all post-SP2 security hotfixes.

It uses wget or curl (if either are found in the PATH), or your installed browser to download the updates. I have tested this with Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Opera. Other browsers should work, as well.

The batch file xpsp2local.cmd (updated 03-May-09) will update the copy of Windows XP that is installed on the computer you run the command on. You may wish to do this, if you do not have, or want, the machine you want to hotfix connected to the internet, or if you are unable to run Windows Update for some reason (for example, if Internet Explorer isn't installed, or doesn't work properly, due to a virus or similar mishap).

To slipstream the hotfixes, and burn the slipstreamed disk, I've created the makefile xpsp2.mak (updated 03-May-09). Details on usage below.

Microsoft XML Core Services Hotfixes

For Microsoft XML Core Services, run msxml_hotfixes.cmd (updated 24-Aug-07) to install the latest hotfixes locally.

Microsoft Office 2003 SP2 and Hotfixes

For Office 2003, run office_2003_hotfixes.cmd (updated 25-Aug-07) to install Service Pack 2, and all post-SP2 hotfixes locally.

The xpsp2* scripts listed above include the following security updates found at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/current.aspx:

Fitting All the Hotfixes onto a 700MB CD

If you slipstream all of the hotfixes listed above, the resulting size will be greater than will fit on a single 700MB "80 minute" CD-R. There are two options to get around this limitation:

1. Burn to a DVD instead of a CD. Of course, this isn't an option if the computer you are installing on does not have a DVD drive, or you don't have software to burn an .ISO file to a DVD.

2. Remove unneeded directories from the CD. On my Windows XP SP1 CD, I found I could delete the following directories before creating the .ISO:

D:\I386\WIN9XMIG: 33.5MB (Windows 9x migration files, not used when performing a fresh XP installation)
D:\DOTNETFX:      33.1MB (.NET Framework, install this manually later if needed)
D:\cmpnents       26.5MB (.NET Framework, TabletPC)
D:\SUPPORT:       11.3MB (Support tools, not used by the installer)
D:\VALUEADD:       9.1MB (Value added programs, not used by the installer)
D:\I386\WIN9XUPG:  3.9MB (Windows 9x upgrade files, not used when performing a fresh XP installation)
D:\DOCS:           0.1MB (Miscellaneous documents, not used by the installer)

If you don't need to install the Recovery Console, you can remove:

D:\I386\WINNTUPG:  1.0MB (Windows NT/2000 upgrade files, not used when performing a fresh XP installation)

If you don't need to install languages other than English, you can remove:

D:\I386\LANG:    101.7MB

If you remove all of the above directories, you will have reduced the size of the CD by over 223MB. Using my Windows XP SP1 disk, I went from 786MB, to 563MB, which easily fits on most sizes of CD-R media (see the table below).

Here is a table listing the different sizes of CD media. The sizes listed below I discovered empirically, and may vary depending on the type of media used.

Disk Type                       Size
------------------------ -----------
80 minute/"700MB" CD-R   697,425,920
74 minute/"650MB" CD-R   642,883,584
80 minute/"700MB" CD-R/W 598,808,576
74 minute/"650MB" CD-R/W 557,260,800

Of course, using a program such as nLite, you can accomplish a far greater size reduction that what is listed above.

Using Cygwin to Burn a Bootable CD

If you have, or install, Cygwin, you can build and burn a bootable CD, by editing the CD and CD_DEV variables at the beginning of xpsp2.mak, and typing:

$ make -f xpsp2.mak

You can also add the parameters on the command line:

$ make -f xpsp3.mak CD=F: CD_DEV=0,0,0

If you include md5s.txt (updated 03-May-09), make will verify the files downloaded correctly before executing them.

Note: KB885835 and KB885250 share the same file (mrxsmb.sys), so an error occurs if you attempt to slipstream both of them at once. These scripts solve this issue by superceeding KB885835's version of the file (5.1.2600.2541, xpsp_sp2_gdr.040919-1056, dated 10-27-2004, 448,128 bytes) with KB885250's version (5.1.2600.2598, xpsp_sp2_gdr.041130-1729, dated 1-18-2005, 451,584 bytes).

Of course, to run make, you will need to install Cygwin and select the make, perl, and wget packages.

To create a Windows XP boot disk with Service Pack 1a and Update Rollup 1 (KB826939), use xpsp1_ru.mak.

Older Scripts

To create a Windows XP boot disk with only SP1a, use xpsp1.mak.

To create a Windows 2000 boot disk with SP4, use w2k_sp4.mak.

Value missing in .SIF file?

Submitted by forbin on Wed, 04/14/2010 - 16:24.

Has anyone run into the following problem?

The xpsp2.cmd script runs just fine and I'm able to build a bootable DVD.

While doing a clean install, however, I end up with the following error message:

    The following value in the .SIF file used by setup is corrupted or missing:
    Value 0 on the line in section [SourceDisksFiles] with key "SP2.cab."

I checked the contents of TXTSETUP.SIF, and there is no SP2.CAB listed there.
So I guess the value is missing. But what would be the correct value to add?

There IS an entry for SP1.CAB; I'm guessing this is because the "base" CD contents that I started with are from an XP SP1 install CD. So... why didn't Microsoft's SP2 patcher put an update into the TXTSETUP.SIF?

Final update before XP-SP2 End of Life?

Submitted by forbin on Wed, 04/14/2010 - 16:18.

With the stated "end of lifetime" for SP2 coming up very rapidly, I'd like to make sure that I'll be able to still reinstall a fully patched (or nearly so) XP-SP2 on my old machines. (I really prefer SP2 to SP3.)

Do you have any plans to update the SP2 automated script?
And is there anything I can do to help?

I need to support slipstreamed hotfixes for both XP sp2 & 2000 sp4 and I'd like to put together a cmd script for 2000 similar to the one you have for XP; hence the need for understanding where to start looking for the 2000 post-SP4 hotfixes.

xpsp2.cmd not working correctly

Submitted by tovah1 on Tue, 04/29/2008 - 14:34.

Hello,
I'm pulling my hair out on this one. When I run the xpsp2.cmd file it only copies over the xp files to my directory on the root C: If my xp disk is in the D drive the text in the initial prompt is different than if the cd isn't in the drive.

this is what it looks like when the cd is in the drive and I run the cmd file:

Enter the full directory name to copy the Windows XP Installation files to
or press [Enter] for 'C:\Documents and Settings\xxxx\Desktop\WXPVOL_EN' or en
ter Q to quit:

If there's no cd in the drive, this is what the prompt says when I run the cmd file:

This script will copy files from a Windows XP installation CD to a directory
you choose, and download and slipstream Service Pack 2 and all Post-SP2
security hotfixes into it.

Enter the directory containing the Windows XP installation CD files
or press [Enter] for 'D:' or enter Q to quit :

So i ran the cmd file a second time with and without the cd in the dvd drive. I pointed the download to the folder in my root directory where I saved the xp installation files: xpsp2. Each time the cmd file started using wget to download the files -- but all to my desktop.

Here's what it looks like:

You are running under and administrator's account, yes?

First, the CD needs to be in the CD drive.

From what you have included, I can't determine what exactly is your problem, but I would try creating a directory in the root of C:, called say, xpsp2. Next, copy xpsp2.cmd into this directory. Then change to this directory, and execute xpsp2.cmd. Here's an example:

C:
MKDIR xpsp2
CD xpsp2
COPY "C:\Documents and Settings\xxxx\Desktop\xpsp2.cmd" .
xpsp2.cmd

and follow the prompts.

You can change xpsp2.mak to have this:

or you can create a separate file, called local.mak, in the same directory. If xpsp2.mak finds local.mak, it's settings will override whatever settings are in xpsp2.mak.

script

Submitted by Tony on Mon, 03/31/2008 - 05:21.

Firstly, thank you for creating a superb script.

I use this script as part of an automated update batch file that I run. However, I have come across a small problem that I would like to share and propose a possible change to the script.

Because I call xpsp2.cmd from another batch file (stored elsewhere) I have noticed that wget program downloads the patches to this location rather than the specified hotfixdir variable. As a result I have had to alter the script to work for me. I have included the wget function that I have had to change below. This script is located just about the ":start_downloads" section label on line 202. I added the "-P%hotfixdir%" option to the wget command. This forces the wget function to download to this directory.

wget --version >nul 2>nul
if not errorlevel 9009 (
set DOWNLOADER=wget -nd -N -P%hotfixdir%
goto start_downloads
)

Submitted by jim on Thu, 02/21/2008 - 20:04.

I used your batch file to try and create an updated Windows XP install CD from a very old copy (circa 2002-2003 or pre-SP1). I created the boot disk fine and the setup program starts exactly as I expect, however after the setup program begins loading files I receive a message:

The file ohci1394.sys could not be found

Submitted by jim on Sat, 02/23/2008 - 10:20.

I'd have to download a copy, but one thing I don't know: is the product key specific to the Disk the product came on or is its legitimacy determined by some calculations performed on it? I'm pretty sure its the second case so I'll go ahead and try to download a copy (I actually own a legitimate copy unlike a lot of people I know). Its Windows XP Professional by the way, but I doubt that makes a difference. Interestingly enough the file is there, located in a .cab file, I tried extracting it and putting it with all the other .sys files but to no avail.

PS: Thank you for helping me with this it takes me 1.5+ hours to update my archaic copy of Windows XP.

EDIT: Yes it seems to work with a SP2 Image I downloaded, couldn't find an SP1 Image but for pre-SP1 I believe there are more updates required. It also seems that if you use an SP2 Image the resulting set of files is small enough to fit on a single 700MB CD. I haven't tried installing the updated version yet but it did boot up and get through the set-up process.

Hi Ross

I´m a RIS system administrator and I must say, this is some of the best scripting in batch to get downloads and integrate them into
ones RIS installations, you´ve save me a ton of time.

I´m testing the whole package now and what it seems like, it´s right on the money :-)

My goal was to get a Windows XP SP2 up-to-date with all MS Windows Updates in one stroke (useing Wsus at the mom., but it stil takes too
long), so there is two reasons for me to write a msg. to you.

1. Could you include all Windows update for the WinXpSP2?.. i´m thinking of Windows media Player 11, Framework etc., it does not matter if if goes over 700mb
ill put it into RIS anyway.

Hotfix Integration

Submitted by BrianM on Thu, 01/24/2008 - 19:20.

Ross,

Thanks for the great script. Of all the slipstream/hotfix procedures I've found, your's is the easiest to use and most up to date.

I followed icura's step-by-step and everything appears to have worked. In addition to the xpsp2 folder on my desktop I also have 80 applications/executables with different labels, this being one example "WindowsXP-KB885835-x86-ENU.exe". They appear to correspond to your list of security updates.

Since I haven't seen this issue mentioned before I'm unsure if everything worked correctly. There were no error messages and the script ran through to completion.

Is there any way to verify that the hotfixes were integrated correctly?

thanks
Brian

Brian,

Submitted by ross on Tue, 01/29/2008 - 09:11.

First off, xpsp2.cmd will abort with an error message if the hotfix returned an error during integration.

But if you really want to see if all is well, you could look at the file I386\svcpack\HFINT.DAT (on my system it's in D:\X1APCCP_EN\X1APCCP_EN\I386\svcpack\HFINT.DAT). This contains a list of all the hotfixes that have been slipstreamed.

I hope that answers your question.

Hotfix Integration

Submitted by BrianM on Wed, 01/30/2008 - 06:02.

Ross,

After reading your reply I looked and couldn't find the svcpack folder nor the HFINT.DAT file. I figured I had nothing to lose so I went through the process again.

I watched the whole time as it went through the CD copy, hotfix download, and hotfix integration steps. When I looked this time I found the svcpack folder and the HFINT.DAT file which listed all the hotfixes.

I'm not sure what I did wrong on the first go around, I'm glad I got it right on the second.

Thanks for your help and your great process.

SP2 integration problem

Submitted by GregP on Wed, 01/23/2008 - 11:08.

Ross,

First off thanks for the work you've put into this. It makes the work of getting a new XP install up and running so, so much easier.

Problem is, I've never been able to get the xpsp2.cmd to work the way it's supposed to. After all updates have been downloaded, I always get the error message that 'SP2 is not a valid Win32 application' and then it either moves on to integrating all the other updates or just stops the integration altogether. This happens regardless of whether I download SP2 as part of the overall process or whether I have it ahead of time in the directory with the other updates.

As a workaround, I commented out the entire downloading process (because I already had all updates downloaded from a previous attempt), slipstreamed SP2 into my baseline XP install separately, then used this updated SP2 directory as the basis from which to start the integrating of all the other updates, using your script.

So, any idea what might be wrong? Also, although my kludged commenting-out apparently worked, can you describe exactly which lines should be changed in order to not download any of the updates (under the assumption that they're already downloaded) and not integrate SP2, just all the other updates? Thanks.

problems with IE after using the 12-29-07 xpsp2.cmd

Submitted by bpeck on Mon, 01/14/2008 - 09:25.

After creating a new ISO uning the 12-29-07 xpsp2.cmd - I have problems with IE
the most obvious one is: Right click the desktop - select properties -click the desktop tab and then click customize desktop.
The option to place IE on the desktop is no longer there! I am also having communications problems with some IE based applications.
After discovering the problem - I tried upgrading to IE 7 to resolve the issue. The upgrade was successful but the problems persist.
Any suggestions on what the problem might be?
Thanks

Sorry, I don't use IE. I use firefox. Are you required to use IE?

You could try installing XP with only SP2 slipstreamed, then run xpsp2local.cmd to install the hotfixes one at a time until you find the hotfix that is causing the issues you are describing.

I know, that's a long and painful process, and you may not even find the problem after all that work.

Good luck,

Ross

I don't use cygwin, after

I don't use cygwin, after download the latest full slipstream_xpsp2 package, I use easyboot, Once finished, there can save the result as a bootable ISO file and use your CD burner to create the CD. It work fine for me.

Thanks very much, great work.

Easyboot is good

I also use Easyboot and I am pretty satisfied with it. It's a good tool.

Add warning for when builddir isn't an absolute path?

Submitted by DarkRyder on Fri, 11/16/2007 - 13:01.

I'm trying to rescue a dying PC and just spent the better part of two hours tring to figure out why xpsp2.cmd and BartPE wouldn't play together. Turns out it was user error (natch)... I didn't RTFM and was setting builddir= to a relative path. Doing so, of course, breaks the patch integration and turns xpsp2.cmd into a slow, noisy way to copy one folder to another.

The real problem, from my perspective, is that there wasn't any (obvious) way to tell that it had failed. There are no errors displayed during the process, so the only ways to tell that it didn't work were to 1) watch the whole process and notice that the SP2 integration GUI doesn't come up, 2) watch the whole process and notice that the hotfixes are applying *slightly* faster than normal, or 3) examine the builddir afterward and notice the lack of, e.g., win51ip.SP2. As I didn't know what to look for and the patches *seemed* to be applying (so it didn't occur to me to squint at the results), I had no idea the integrations were failing.

I've gone back and fixed my blunder (and BartPE is now quite happy with the result), but I thought I'd drop by for a feature request: some kind of feedback on failure. Specifically, it would be nice if the script had a way to verify that builddir= is an absolute path (say, by checking that the second character is a colon or that the first two characters are backslashes; I've no idea how to do this in a .cmd file, but your command-line-fu is obviously much stronger than mine) and to verify that SP2 had successfully installed before continuing (say, by checking for win51ip.SP2 or another "flag file").
