Slipstreaming SP1 into Server 2003

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   Copy all of the Win2003 installation files from a CD's i386 
folder to a local folder, so copy D:\i386 to C:\i386. 

Then Extract the SP1 files by running the SP1 executable with the /x switch. Be sure to extract this to a unique folder, like C:\SP1. So run the following from a command prompt C:\ServicePack1.exe /x.

Finally, go into the SP1 update files (in, say, C:\SP1\i386\update) and run update.exe /s:C:\. This will slipstream whatever's in C:\i386. 

Be sure not to specify the i386 subfolder in the /s switch, or you'll end up with C:\Win2003\i386\i386.
