Slipstream SP2 into 64bit WindowsXP using PC running 32bit Windows?

[Noozer]

I'm getting ready to install Windows XP 64bit. My PC is currently running
32bit Windows XP Pro with SP2.

I want to create a slipstream disc. On this disc I want my Windows XP Pro
64bit OS, SP2 for 64bit XP, and the OEM drivers for my SATA controller.

My PC has no floppy drive, and Windows does not support my SATA controller
natively. There are no IDE drives in this PC.

I'm trying to slipstream SP2, but when I run the update command to add SP2
to my installation files it complains that it is not a valid Win32
application.

C:/XP64 currently contains the files from the 64bit XP installation disk
C:/SP2 currently contains all the files extracted from the 64bix XP SP2
download

The command I'm failing on is "C:\SP2\AMD64\UPDATE\UPDATE.EXE -s:C:\XP64".

I've downloaded SP2 twice in the .EXE version, as well as the .ISO version.
It always does the same thing.

How can I generate a slipstream disc?

Thanks!
