Has anyone else tried to install a slipstreamed version of XP Corp? Can you share your experince?
In response to Eran's above post about Corp keys being locked out of RTM sp1. I just finished installing my slipstreamed sp1 1102 Corp Edition. All went fine. It took my Corp key during the install. The only fnacy footwork I had to do was to rename/replace a few files in the i386 directory after I slipstreamed, and before I burned it.

Slightly OT: After I installed I set the date ahead 4 years in the BIOS and rebooted. Everything went fine, booted up with no trouble and all apps worked. I don't think there is any type of time-bomb in 1102.

Eran - PM me for more details about the slipstream process.


Here's a pic of my sysprops with the date set 4 years ahead:

Default Post Windows Explorer Crash with 1102

Hello all! I've been following DriverHeaven for just a little while now and I finally managed to actually register to the forums. Why? Well, because of a slight problem with Windows XP SP1 build 1102 :P

Since installing, which occured without a hitch mind you, I've been getting frequent messages popping up on the desktop stating that Windows Explorer has encountered a problem, much like any other Windows XP error message, and must shut down.

Of course, Explorer then relaunches itself without a problem, but there still remains this issue, at least for myself. Has anyone else encountered this problem with 1102? The previous nine or so builds before did not encounter this kind of error before.

I'm not sure what is causing it, I'm really only switching between the Internet or closing My Computer, something normal, that causes Windows Explorer, the shell, not the file and folder browser, to shut down, start bar and all, and to restart, like it should anyway.

Oh well, no bother really, I'm sure a future build will address some of these things and more. I've enjoyed these forums a lot in the past few months. Thanks to everyone who contributed in some way so we could all enjoy the tweaks and fixes for the operating system of choice.

An article appeard on the http://www.tweakxp.com/tweakxp/ that stated the following: (snip)

So the question is this: Will MS force all legal Corp users to change their CDKEY in order to install SP1? Does anyone think that large companies like IBM, Motorolla etc. can afford to waste time to change the key on every PC they have XP on? IMHO this is a breach of contract. Companies who bought thousends of Corp licences will not accept this, and it's not their interest if MS wants to blacklist pirated copies of XP. They PAID for their licences.
I doubt that MS will take such a chance. But perhaps MS found a flaw in Blue's XP-KEY that can allow it to differentiate between original and Blue CD-KEYS? In that case only illegal keys will be bannd. For example, all legal Corp CD keys I saw had an ID of xxxxx-640-xxxxxxx-xxxxx while most Blue keys have 644, 645, 647 etc.
The article above claims that slipstreaming SP1 Betas on XP Corp will trigger the new key algorithms, while others say it reverts the corp version to a retail pro version.
Has anyone else tried to install a slipstreamed version of XP Corp? Can you share your experince? This is even more intersting if someone was to try it with a legal corp key.
I was at an MS Technet convention a few days ago, and the speaker boasted that SP1 will not install on pirated XP. Is he correct?
The answer?

Unlikely. Corp users would be more likely to simply not install SP1 if required to change the cd keys on every workstation. That's thousands of lost man-hours, something reserved for deployments only.

As for the speaker - no, he's incorrect. It won't install on a copy which uses one of many known pirated corporate keys; however, a key that doesn't appear in the blacklist will update without any problems whatsoever.

OK. I managed to slipstream 1102, and make it a bootable CD. Didn't have to change any files. I found an old drive and performed a fresh install. No problem with a "blue" key. Windows is properly installed and WPA says Windows already Activated.
So if MS is planning something else for us - we'll only see it on the final version.
By the way, the fresh install has "Windows XP Professional" on the left side of the Start menu. I don't have that on my other instalation. Anyone know why and how to get it back?

MS published a FAQ page for SP1 and has a part on the CD key subject http://www.microsoft.com/piracy/basi...faq.asp#wxpsp1

Among other things stated is this:

What are the product keys that are affected by this?
We are not publishing the product keys themselves, however the product IDs generated from these product keys are (where X may be any numeric value):

XXXXX-640-0000356-23XXX
XXXXX-640-2001765-23XXX

Now this is strange, because most of of the Blue keys are not with 640 in them, rather 644, 645, etc.

I guess we'll know soon enough

Default Post Slipstreaming WXP SP1

There are 2 steps:
1) Slipstreaming - extract the sp1.exe (or whatever you called it) file to a directory on your windows root (say C:\SP1) using winzip, winrar or the command "sp1.exe -x" (go to where the sp1.exe is saved, open a command prompt and type sp1.exe -x, press enter, windows will verify the file and than prompt you to where to extract it).
Than, extract the entire WXP CD to a folder on the root (say C:\CD).
Now click Sart>Run and type:
C:\SP1\i386\UPDATE\UPDATE.EXE -S:C:\CD
Windows will now update your instalation folder.
2) Burning a bootable CD - go to http://www.windowsxp.nu/bootcd/default.htm
for the complete instructions.
Note that if you use Nero you have to adapt the instrucions to Nero, and you need to DL and run a small registry fix from the same page (nero.reg)

I checked services, and that service is running. I have the corporate edition of XP, and I'm not using the FCKGW... key.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

TIA.

it's perfect build!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
first SP with wich work my Settlers 4 (and even Settlers 3) without Exeption Error was 1090 build, with 1097 build I again see Error. 1102 - wauuuuuuuuuu - ALL WORK AND PLAY - I'm satisfaction.

I think the final build may be 1111 (Microsoft like "round" numbers)
remember:
Windows 98SE - 4.10.2222
Windows Me - 4.10.3000
Windows XP - 5.1.2600

in my mind Windows XP SP1 - 5.1.2600.1111

You don't use the registry fix if you use Nero 5.5.9.0 or above. Nero now has checkbox option instead. Look for ISO Tab in Nero then check "Do not add the ';1' ISO file version extension."

You might be correct with that insight, especially when you consider
microsoft seems to be releasing a build a day. 1102 shows 08/19/2002.
which is 9 days from expected release add 9 to 1102 & you get 1111.

Yeah it just depends what day the final is released, all these leaks were were daily internal builds, so if the 28th is correct it may be 1111 - but SP1 may go gold before this date and leak which means it will have a slightly lower number. It is likely it is going to leak early, I think you should look for final sometime around Tuesday, or Wednesday at the latest, which is 1109 or 1110. I think the thing about even build numbers is probably just superstion, but if you are into numeroligy and believe that MS is the spawn of the devil etc. a 1110 build number would make more sense, as even numbers as seen as more productive and lucky than odd ones. But as I said, it probably just depends more on what day it is when the build goes gold.

Regards,

Hi!.. I just slipstreamed my XP CD with the 1102 SP and I can't install it with any of the many keys I have generated and that have already worked when doing an update on an already installed copy. Are there some files that need to be replaced? I keep getting and Invalid Key message.

Thanks for your help

You could try using a legit key, instead of steeling stuff!

Default Post Slipstreaming...

I think you (we) should all wait for the official SP1 release. Then someone with all the appropriate knowledge should post a DEFINITIVE guide for making a bootable slipsteamed copy of XP Corp.

This should also include details on how to revert a Corp. installation that SP1 beta has turned into a Pro. installation, back into a proper Corp. installation!

Just 2 files were changed everything else is the same.

Here is the correct files for corp

Sp1 Files | Files in slipstream

ipseldpc.dl_ | dpcdll.dl_
ipselpid.dll | pidgen.dll

This works for Legit versions I've tested.
