Integrate Windows XP SP2 with Windows XP

April 22nd, 2005 · 2 Comments · Web/Tech

Say you have an original Windows XP installation CD and you also have the Service Pack 2 installer (on some other CD). Now say you have XP SP2 already installed on your machine but you want to (or have to) install IIS. You can’t do it, because the files you need are on two different CDs. You need to integrate your WinXP installer CD and your XPSP2 CD together on your hard drive so you can do the installation. Fortunately, this problem has come up before: this Microsoft knowledge base article describes how to fix it.
