Posted January 28, 201213 yr Hi, I'm trying to fix a system with a malfunctioning TCP/IP stack. The original MCE install CD is slipstreamed with SP2 so I have created a c:\xp folder containing a copy of the install CD with SP3 slipstreamed from the SP3 standalone updater on top of it. I changed HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup SourcePath to point to C:\XP but now the SFC is specifically looking for the "XP Professional Service Pack 3 CD" to be inserted. The files fp40ext.inf and ims.inf in c:\windows\inf have strings indicating that XP Professional is required but it seems that the slipstreamed folder isn't recognised as a valid XP Professional install CD. I also tried using subst e: c:\xp and setting the c: and resulting e: label to that of the XP MCE install CD but it did not work either. Do you have any suggestions on how to accomplish a successful SFC run? Should fp40ext.inf and ims.inf be modified for MCE and if so, what should the strings be? Continue reading...
