I'm new to slipstreaming service packs. I just slipstreamed service
pack 2 successfully using instructions found on the Internet. Now I am
trying to get a handle on some of the finer details and I have a few
questions:
1) What is the difference between using the /integrate switch and using
the Update.exe utility? In what kind of situation would it be
appropriate to use the /integrate switch, and when would it be
appropriate to use the Update.exe utility?
2) The instructions I used indicated that you need to copy the ENTIRE
Windows XP CD to a folder, but later I found the same basic instructions
on the Microsoft site which indicated that you need to copy only the
i386 folder from the CD. The process I used (copying the entire XP CD
to the hard drive) worked. Will the process work if only the i386
folder from the installation CD is copied to the hard drive? Are there
times when you can get away with copying only the i386 folder from the
CD, and other times when you must copy the entire installation CD?
3) How do I slipstream a hot fix into the Windows installation files?
Thanks for any help that you can offer.
