This is a cross-post from the original on the nLite forums, please read there first if you encounter problems.
Some of you might also be interested in this similar guide for Windows 2000.

So you want to create a fully up to date Windows XP Professional x64 edition installation DVD ? Well here's how (updated for January).

There are a couple of options as to how to configure your install media, you can:
. . . A) Use Microsoft hotfixes or 5eraph's update pack
. . . B} Install .Net 3.5 sp1 or just .Net 2.0 sp2 or no .Net at all
. . . C) Integrate IE8 using 5eraph's AddOn or silent install original IE8.exe or IE7 or IE6
. . . D) Integrate WMP11 using Booogy's Slipstreamer or silent install WMP11.exe or WMP10
This guide will first list the files needed for the first option given and then note the changes required to use the other options.

So you are going to need some files:

From this page's attachments, the Config_XP-64_date.zip file and extract it, this will also setup the necessary directory structure. The archive contains:
\Run1_XP-64.bat (install .Net 3.5/2.0, DirectX redist and some applications)
\Run2_XP-64.bat (second pass of application installs)
\AddOns\Access *.lnk
\AddOns\ChOwn*.bat (optional files for running as a limited user)
\AddOns\Grant_Access.txt
\AddOns\klcp_mega_unattended.ini (config file for K-Lite mega codec installation)
\AddOns\MenuReorg.bat (optional menu & desktop cleanup)
\AddOns\Tweak UI.lnk
\Misc\Hotfix_XP-64_date.torent (hotfixes, duh)
\Misc\Run*_XP-64.bat (optional additional install passes)
\Misc\UpdatePrep.bat (renames files and deletes outdated hotfixes)
\Misc\WinXP-64.ini (nLite session file)
\RunOnce\AccountInit.bat (initialise account and IE8 silent install option)
\RunOnce\WinUp.lnk (bug fix, launch IE at https://update.microsoft.com directly)

Note on colour codes shown below:
% means that you must directly download this file yourself, this is because it either:
. . . A) is simply huge (Service Pack 2, .Net Framework 3.5 sp1 and DirectX redist) or
. . . B} requires validation (Media Player 11) or
. . . C) is an optional component (Internet Explorer 8, .Net Framework 2.0 sp2)
MD5 and SHA-1 checksums are provided for the above mentioned items.
@ means that the file is available in the 7-Zip archives available at MediaFire and as a part of the torent.
# means that in order to save time (honest, it will take forever) and my bandwidth you should directly download this file but it's also in the torent.
is a direct link to the executable
Optional items and groups are described in green (as are their security updates)

To save on click fatigue 2 7-Zip archives are available of the smaller hotfixes at MediaFire, extract them into the same directory that you chose to extract the Config archive into. The archives won't necessarily be updated every month, only when there is a deletion and/or several new small hotfixes.

For returning users updating their hotfix list a torent is available containing all but 4 of the Microsoft downloads (all but SP2, .Net 3.5, DirectX & WMP11). As (due to my upload limitations) it won't exactly be Speedy Gonzales (expect about 2KB/s, 54 hours for full download), you are recommended to at least directly download the current IE8 cumulative update.

Run the UpdatePrep.bat file in the \Misc directory before opening the Hotfix torent, this will remove any outdated hotfixes. The torent is also useful for checking that you have all the downloads and that they aren't corrupted. It is important to note that the tracker's IP address is at least nominally dynamic (static for months at a time though), so if you can't connect for more than a day PM me. The 7-Zip archives and torent also contain:

At \AddOns
SubInACL.exe 290,304
SubInACL.htm 89,886 (both extracted from subinacl.msi)
TweakUIPowertoySetup_amd64.exe 164,920 (also available from this post's attachments)

Note as to format, the trailing number in italics is obviously file size while the leading number is to ensure that they are integrated in the same order that Windows Update would install them. The gaps in number are so that any future changes can be inserted into the hotfix torent without requiring name changes, re-ordering or re-downloading files.

Whether or not you prefer to directly download all the hotfixes, UpdatePrep.bat will rename the files as appropriate. If you've chosen to include all optionals \Hotfix should have 81 files 305,909,075 (ex IE8 tweaks) and RunOnce should have 17 files 446,494,131.

Of course you won't get very far without nLite (v1.47 or later), Boooggy's WMP11 slipstreamer (v1.2 or later) and a Windows XP pro x64 install CD.


5eraph's XP Pro x64 post SP2 update pack and Internet Explorer 8 AddOn
Rather than using the original Microsoft hotfixes, you can instead use the update pack maintained by 5eraph over at the RyanVM forums, it includes all of the high priority updates as well as a few extras. If using 5eraph's pack the required files are:

At \Misc: Unchanged from above
At \WMP11: Unchanged from above

At \Hotfix:

The .Net 3.5 subgroup

Once again there is an archive with the smaller hotfixes at MediaFire.


For .Net 2.0 sp2 (I really hope I don't have to spell out what to do if you don't want .Net at all)
Instead of the .Net 3.5 sp1 file set listed above, you only need the following files at \RunOnce, note that Windows Update will offer you the 132MB KB951847 .Net 3.5 SP1 family update.

Now it's time to fire up nLite (NB: must be run with administrator privileges, might need to disable anti-virus software, Vista users should run in XP compatibility mode).
  1. Locate your source.

    Attached File  Source_Fold.JPG ( 37.62K ) Number of downloads: 152

  2. Slipstream service pack 2 then exit nLite (if nLite is open it can interfere with the WMP11 slipstreamer).
    Attached File  Task_SP2.JPG ( 47.53K ) Number of downloads: 140
    Attached File  SP2_Slipstream.JPG ( 48.86K ) Number of downloads: 138

    Special note for users of 32-bit operating systems. You cannot slipstream Service Pack 2 as is (due to it being a 64-bit executable), instead you must do the following:
    1. First check that the files in your nLite working directory do NOT have their Read-Only attribute set, if so clear it.
    2. Extract WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB914961-SP2-x64-ENU.exe with 7-Zip or WinRAR.
    3. Download from my MediaFire page the Update.7z archive (contains files from the 32-bit version of Service Pack 2 for Windows Server 2003).
    4. Extract Update.7z into the \AMD64\Update folder of the extracted x64 Service Pack 2, replacing the existing files.
    5. nLite will warn that you cannot integrate 64-bit service packs from within a 32-bit environment, proceed anyway (just say no).
    6. Finally when integrating the Service Pack you need to navigate to the AMD64\Update folder and select the Update.exe file.
    Attached File  64bit_Slipstream_Error.JPG ( 42.61K ) Number of downloads: 56
    Attached File  32bit_Slipstreaming.JPG ( 48.1K ) Number of downloads: 34

  3. Whoa there Tex, it's time to get down and Boooggy. The WMP11 slipstreamer is fairly self explanatory, just target your working directory, the WMP11 install file and the 8 hotfixes in the WMP11 directory, then hit the integrate button.
    Attached File  WMP11_Slipstream.JPG ( 57.99K ) Number of downloads: 207

  4. If you are planning to experiment, now is the time to backup your working directory. Then it's time to fire up nLite again (my session file is located at \Misc, you may wish use it as a base).
    Attached File  Preset.JPG ( 41.09K ) Number of downloads: 186
    Attached File  Tasks.JPG ( 45.44K ) Number of downloads: 160

  5. Add all the hotfixes listed in the \Hotfix directory (use Crtl-A, check the order). 32-bit users: Move the following hotfixes to the RunOnce directory first (020, 044, 060, 096, 168, 224, 308, 324)
    Attached File  Hotfix.JPG ( 86.76K ) Number of downloads: 185

  6. Add any drivers you may need, especially textmode SATA & RAID drivers (Intel, nVidia). I've found that 7-Zip will extract some things WinRAR won't (case studies incl ATI vid).
    Attached File  DriversVM.JPG ( 32.38K ) Number of downloads: 137

  7. Unattended settings, this is the most important one. Your RunOnce file should look like this:
    CODE
    TimeOut /T 40
    CMD /R %Source%Run1_XP-64.bat

    You should also set it to autologon twice to an administrator class account (read the note), fully automated mode would be an excellent idea Smithers. The TimeOut is to avoid a "Device not Ready" error. If you need to load drivers from a floppy then read the note on the general tab about OEM Preinstall.

    Attached File  RunOnce.JPG ( 47.26K ) Number of downloads: 211
    Attached File  07C_Unattended_Users_Standard.JPG ( 61.88K ) Number of downloads: 77

  8. Make any tweaks you want, then run the process.

    Attached File  Tweaks.JPG ( 42.43K ) Number of downloads: 145
    Attached File  Finished.JPG ( 40.32K ) Number of downloads: 139

  9. Copy all the files and folders that you have downloaded, except those at \Hotfix, \Misc and \WMP11 to your nLite working directory, maintaining the directory structure (\AddOns contains optional files).
    Attached File  File_CopyA.JPG ( 57.19K ) Number of downloads: 199
    Attached File  File_CopiedA.JPG ( 78.81K ) Number of downloads: 150

  10. After you drag n drop anything else that you may want / need, go ahead and burn that image / DVD.
    Attached File  Create_ISO.JPG ( 48.29K ) Number of downloads: 102
Installation:
If you have gone for the fully unattended option, then all you have to do is let it be for roughly 1 1/2 hours (assuming lots of AddOns). The system will be ready for use when a logon box is waiting for your input. The only high priority download available will be the "Malicious Software Removal Tool" (none if using 5eraph's pack).



Application AddOns:
nLite supports the use of application addon .cab files at the hotfix integration step, however I do not recommend their use as the file associations don't register with XP x64 (OK with x86 Windows). You should instead edit Run1_XP-64.bat or Run2_XP-64.bat to call the standard enduser installer with the appropriate silent install switches. Currently the following applications will be installed if they are copied to \AddOns (7-Zip & HashTab strongly recommended):

Windows Defender . Detection update integration supported
Spybot: Search & Destroy . Detection update integration supported
Avast Anti-Virus . Detection update integration supported
Comodo Firewall, two options, see below
VirtualBox Additions, requires 7-Zip
VMware Tools, requires 7-Zip (seeing a pattern?)

Check to see that the version numbers match, also some files have been renamed to clarify what the executable is (Avast Anti-Virus, VirtualPC 2007). Another option is to strip the actual executable out of the various AddOns created by others (copying the file to \Addons) and then adding the appropriate command to the batch files. The executables have usually been repacked as silent installers, but be sure to read the entries*.ini file to confirm this.

If you don't intend to include any of these applications (vanilla install disk) or install IE8 silently using the original Microsoft executable, then you only need to autologon once at step 7 (don't copy Run2_XP-64.bat across at step 9).

You can have as many application install reboot passes as desired. To do this simply set the system to auto-logon (in step 7) as many times as required and place the appropriate number of batch files in the root directory of your install media. The first 5 batch files are already written (at \Misc) with the needed handover command, but if you need more they are fairly self explanatory. Be sure to install security software last.

Comodo Firewall, in the absence of useful silent install switches the following options are provided:
. . . A) Use the older stable v3.0.25.378 firewall (only), it will default to safe mode on both firewall and defence+ (requires 7-Zip)
. . . B} Use the current version with a very basic, push the buttons, AutoIt script for firewall only, no AV, D+, ThreatCast or toolbars.


Optional components (currently SubInACL/ChOwn & TweakUI):
Any small (<2MB) but useful optional components will be placed in the \AddOns directory. The batch files will be written to support their installation if \AddOns is copied to the nLite working directory.

SubInACL is a command line utility meant for network administrators, but it can be useful to us mere mortals as it makes running as a limited user possible. Using the "Access *" shortcuts I only have to logon as the Administrator about once a fortnight. Since I started setting up my friend's computers this way I haven't had to deal with the "I cancelled a print job and now my printer is gone" (they deleted the printer) or "Why do I get all these annoying pop-ups" (opened Amazing_Photos.vbs) type service calls. How many of us can truly say they have never clicked the wrong button or typed the wrong command? Remember, the neck you save might just be your own. 3rd party installer available.

TweakUI is a unofficial Microsoft powertoy that acts as a one stop shop for User Interface configuration. This is the (hard to find) x64 version, digitally signed though. As there are no silent install switches, you must include 7-Zip for automated install.


Testing:

I use VirtualBox 3.0.x for testing purposes, highly configurable regarding choice of emulated hardware and also good for virtualizing Linux (use VirtualPC2007 for Win9x), however hardware virtualization support is required for 64-bit guests (AMD-V or VT-x).

VirtualBox 3.0.x hints:
  1. Silent installation of Virtual Machine extensions is supported, once VirtualBox is installed there will be a file "VBoxGuestAdditions.iso" at "\Program Files\Sun\xVM VirtualBox", copy it to \AddOns in your nLite working directory (requires 7-Zip).
  2. On the machine setting page leave ACPI, IO APIC and VT-x/AMD-V enabled (default settings).
  3. (v3.0.10 & earlier) Detection of network cable connection can be iffy, if so try disconnecting/reconnecting.
  4. (v3.0.8 & earlier) Only use 1 virtual processor, 2 or more CPUs will lead to random system hangs or BSODs.
Another option is VMware Server 1.0.x, it's also free but has some limitations (no default sound for one), requires registration and is significantly larger (147MB vs 69MB) but importantly can virtualize 64-bit guests on some CPUs that don't have hardware virtualization capabilities (early Turions for instance). Before downloading and installing, use this tool to ensure that your processor will support 64-bit guests.

VMware Server 1.0.x hints:
  1. Silent installation of Virtual Machine extensions is supported, once VMware server is installed there will be a file "windows.iso" at "\Program Files (x86)\VMware\server", copy it to \AddOns in your nLite working directory (requires 7-Zip).
  2. To enable sound you will have to integrate the VMaudio driver (3rd party signed version) with nLite at step 6 of the process AND once you have completed the New Virtual Machine wizard, choose VM >> Settings >> Hardware >> Add >> Sound Adapter.
  3. When booting up the Virtual Machine click your mouse inside the VM and hit F2, this will allow you to access the VM BIOS, you can then alter the boot sequence so that it always boots off the CD first.
Finally there is VMware Server 2.0.x, but I haven't tried this one and the huge 507MB download might scare some people off.

Yeah maybe for you, lol.... j/k scsi

I think its nice that someone has done this so thoroughly. And you dont need to do all the steps if you dont want. He is showing you just what can be done. IMO I think its a very nice job. I for one will do this asap....

Please keep this thread up to date if you can Kurt. thmbup.gif

P.S. Think one could be done for 64bit Vista?

Sure but imaging it doesnt keep your install DVD up to date, nor does it allow you to install on ANY system you may have. An image only works on your current system. When you install a new motherboard you will have to reinstall Windows all over again, and all the addons independently. This method gives you a much more updated unatended install disk to work with... and a clean windows installation on ANY computer system...

But I guess if you dont ever upgrade your systems main components an image will suffice just fine too....

So he still has to download all the patches and latest upgrades to the apps and operating system and keep them up to date. What happens with hardware and OS driver issues during the long install. I can bring a workstation in the office online fully in 4 hours with a clean OS install and doing everything. Many apps need to be restarted to properly register and update setup files. I wonder what issues would happen?

Good point.. Im not sure I would pre-install apps in the first place. I would just make a up to date dvd with the latest drivers for everything, and all the hotfixes, sp2 etc and leave it at that. If drivers need to be updated down the road well just do it as usual, right? The point is making an up to date XP x64 for todays machines and drivers. My XP x64 is one of the very first from the manufacturer and is clearly not up to date.

Yeah I can do it in 4 hours to but after making this DVD it should only take 30 minutes or so to complete, minus any forgotten apps you need later on. I would think...

Hmmm I find it easier to write on a bit of paper a program list on my current setup that I want to keep, re-install and get the programs again. I also keep the programs once downloaded on a seperate HD so that if something goes wrong I've still got everything anyway.

Is it possible to install Vista via an image on a USB stick?

I have been researching that very same idea lately. I just picked up a 4GB USB flash drive just for installing Vista but havnt yet tried it as Im waiting for SP1 to release before going the Vista route... My Vista box is still manufactured sealed as Im afraid to damage the pretty box... lol

Thinking of using vLite to integrate SP1 and all the latest drivers and putting it all on a usb drive so to avoid having to supply any drivers at install process. I hate being forced to sit at computer for the clean install process, as I have done that a thousand times now over the last 15 years and its getting tiresome. I would prefer to start the process and walk away to watch TV or something else, and to return to clean windows install later. But thats just me.....

My issue on the network is 10 different computer configurations to deal with. How would the speed of USB flash drive be? What happens if they get corrupted?

Im not possitive but I have read more than once that installing Vista from a usb drive can be as fast as 5-10 minutes to desktop. I think this is FULLY dependent on how fast the USB drive is tho...

Major change: Dumped Weed's Windows Defender AddOn (30/1/07) for the current Microsoft installer (23/5/07), also added support for integration of latest definition updates on OS installation.

Minor changes:
Details on Hotfix 800 -> "Remote Desktop Connection (Terminal Services Client 6.0)"
Added more info to OpenOfficeDocIcon.reg
Added support for Avast definition updates
Minor typos

It's not really all that big a deal to keep this up to date, all the work is involved in getting it working the first time. While harder to test, overall it was easier than my similar project for Windows 2000.

As for the end user keeping it up to date, all they have to do is run UpdatePrep.bat to delete superseded hotfixes, connect to the torrent for most of the current updates and then there would only be a couple needing direct download (most obviously the cumulative IE7 update, it's already bigger than the original installer).


SCSI
While of course I can't be absolutely sure, as far as I can tell all the applications that I've listed seem to work perfectly.



This topic probably should have be posted in the tutorials section, if one of the Admins would care to move it?

Done!

I left a link in the Windows XP x64 forum, and pinned this in the Tutorials forum.

I am getting ready to upgrade to Vista. My SCSI CD won't work on Vista DVD. I am willing to get a good USB thumb drive. How do I do al this stuff and get it to the thumb drive to be bootable? I will be installing a new LSI Logic MegaRAID 8888ELP SAS RAID controller and all new SAS 2.5" drives. I will have RAID 1 and 5 configured. I want to drop all the 64-bit Raid drivers into the Vista Business x64 Nlite setup with all main service packs for Vista Business. I really am not concerned about Avast and other apps for now. Just want to try a USB thumb drive install. I wish I could find a SCSI DVD-ROM that was LVD or UW instead of SCSI-2. I do have a USB 2 Sony DVD-ROM external unit. I know I have to use on-board USB 2 controller and legacy mode to boot a USB device. I don't want any SATA or ATAPI crap in my box.

I am getting ready to upgrade to Vista. My SCSI CD won't work on Vista DVD. I am willing to get a good USB thumb drive. How do I do al this stuff and get it to the thumb drive to be bootable? I will be installing a new LSI Logic MegaRAID 8888ELP SAS RAID controller and all new SAS 2.5" drives. I will have RAID 1 and 5 configured. I want to drop all the 64-bit Raid drivers into the Vista Business x64 Nlite setup with all main service packs for Vista Business. I really am not concerned about Avast and other apps for now. Just want to try a USB thumb drive install. I wish I could find a SCSI DVD-ROM that was LVD or UW instead of SCSI-2. I do have a USB 2 Sony DVD-ROM external unit. I know I have to use on-board USB 2 controller and legacy mode to boot a USB device. I don't want any SATA or ATAPI crap in my box.


I did a search of the MSFN forums with the parameter "Install Vista from USB" and got a hit on this topic, posts 19 & 21.

I found this information to be very informative on "HOW TO install Vista from a USB flash drive".
