The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

where to find hotfix executable programs for xp install problem

Asked by rngrfan in Operating Systems Miscellaneous, Linux Distributions

Tags: error, system, xp, hotfix

working on a cpu upgrade from xp home to pro and at the 34 min mark the cpu reboots and restarts in an endless loop.

I understand this problem is refered to in MS Article 814847 "How to Slipstream hotfixes hat replace preexisting driver files".

I have looked at the setupact log and found

"""The external program RUNDLL32 shell32,Control_RunDLL intl.cpl,,/f:"C:\WINDOWS\System32\$winnt$.inf" /s:"M:\I386" returned exit code 0.
NetSetup: SetupMode: 0x1, ProductType: 0x0, OperationFlags: 0x800c
Setup encountered an error while trying to set system security.

An extended error has occurred.

C:\WINDOWS\System32\usbhub.sys was not deleted because of the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified."""

This is where I get lost and need help.

1. It says to connect to the cpu you want to make a distribution folders on.  
How do I do this?  Can I use boot disks and do this from a command prompt?

2. next it says to create an i386 distribution folder by typing the following MD E:\i386

What is E: suppose to be my hard drive (C:)?

3. Use the xcopy command-line utility to copy the files and subfolders from the Windows 2000 SP3 CD-ROM (integrated installation) to the E:\i386 folder. For example, if your CD-ROM drive is drive D, type the following:
XCOPY /E /I /V D:\i386 E:\i386

I am installing XP pro sp1 not windows 2000 sp3 so do all the commands stay the same?

4. Create an E:\i386\svcpack folder. For example, to create a svcpack subfolder in the i386 folder, type the following:
MD E:\i386\SVCPACK

This should be easy once I figure out step 2

5. Copy the hotfix executable program (Qnnnnnn_XXX_YYY_ZZZ_LL.exe) to the E:\i386\svcpack folder by using the 8.3 naming format (Qnnnnnn.exe), where nnnnnn represents the actual hotfix number.

Where do I find this hotfix executable program????
