Can't Self Extract XP SP2 from Win98:

Guest

Trying to extract SP2 to integrate with XP Pro using Win...KB...ENU.exe. -x
Get Err: "Missing Export ntdll.dll ntshutdownsystem".
Native Win98 ntdll is missing a function. Can I use another - maybe WinMe dll?

I don't really understand your post. Writing complete sentences and
providing plenty of information is key to getting focused help.

You apparently are trying to slipstream SP2 into your XP install, yes?
What does Win98 have to do with it then? There are many methods of
slipstreaming, but I prefer Autostreamer for ease of use. Here are
links:

If this is not what you are trying to do, please post back and provide a
better explanation. This site will help you craft your next post:

Sorry about the skinny problem statement. Thanks for the look.Here is what
I'm trying to do:
Slipstream (in Win98se) an XP+SP2 .img file using the commands suggested
e.g. in the eldergeek guide & others. These guides use one .exe command from
the downloaded SP2 to Self Extract and another from the extracted result to
Update (or Integrate) depending on whose guide you're using. These are XP
routines I'm executing in W98. The routines attempt to execute using W98's
ntdll.dll which are missing some required functions. I then wonder if I can
replace the W98 ntdll with either XP's or ME's version.

Here is what I encountered:
The ntdll.dll missing export link error {Ntshutdownsystem} trying to Extract
sP2 using [Win...KB...ENU.exe -x] . I circumvented this and extracted with
WinZip.

And: The ntdll error missing export {Ntallocatevirtualmemory} when trying to
update/integrate using [...\i386\update\update -s].

"Insufficient Memory" notices accompanied both errors. I guess it means
virtual memory since I have 512MB and it's the Virtual Allocate function
that's missing.

Obviously Win98 ntdll is missing a function required by the XP routines. How
can I complete the slipstream integration of SP2 using W98? Can I borrow the
ntdll from WinMe or other OS to get through this hangup?

Unless you know something else - the utilities autostreamer and ntlite do
not claim to support W98.

I believe you need to do the slipstreaming from within XP.

Either have a friend who has XP do the slipstreaming for you or check
with a local professional computer repair shop. If you are trying to do
a repair install on a machine that is pre-SP2, you will need a
slipstreamed XP disk. If you are just trying to clean-install XP, then
just use your pre-SP2 XP disk and install SP2 immediately after the
operating system install.

You cannot make the slipstream in Win98.
