Len,

If you've already downloaded this package (and not via AU), search for the
installer package file named "WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe" in your hard
disk. Autostreamer does not read the .exe package directly, but it extracts
them to a temporary folder (perhaps using the command-line /integrate).
Just automates the entire task, that's it.

Ramesh, am doing the (2 hour) download now. As a back-up I've also ordered
the CD. BUT - I already downloaded and installed SP2. So why can't I find
the downloaded SP2 on my hdd? Did it delete itself in the extended tidy-up
process, after it installed?
I looked in Add/Remove programs. The option to uninstall SP2 is there, but
there is no program size (as with all the other progs listed) which seems to
indicate the answer to last question is "yes".
So, what am I to do with the exe file currently downloading?
The intention is to create a "slipstream" CD, but can/will Autostream be
able to "see" inside the exe file to get the data it needs? I'm loathe to
execute the exe file, since I don't want a double loading of SP2 .... how
did you create your slipstream disk? It's certainly not as straightforward
as with SP1, per the manual previously mentioned! ...
Finally - would you take a look at my first posting today (SP2, Catch22)
please ?
Thanks, Len
