    The update.exe program was in a sub-folder of my i386. Ie., I had to go to c:sp2fi386update to run update.exe.

    you don't have to extract the SP2 files. You can just run the SP2 exe with the /integrate:<path> option. This will do the extract to a temp directory, integrate the files into <path> and remove the extracted files.

    When I try to run update /s:cxpcd it tells me
    "This service Pack cannot be integrated into a destination that also has integrated software updates. Consult the service pack documentation for more details about supported integration scenerios"
    I am using a version of XP that has already been slipstreamed with SP1. Is this causing the problem?

    XP SP1 doesn't typically fail with the error you quoted. XP SP1a usually does. Try renaming the svcpack.inf file in your current image.You should then be able to slipstream SP2 to your current image.

    Thanks JMcCoy for directing me to Autostreamer. I have been spent most of the day using guides with dos cmd commands. to integrate SP2 into winxp.
    Ok until it came to running extraction and then it copied into "E" drive. I have an E drive, but it wasn't there. I couldn't find out how to change it to "C''., but it must have found its way somewhere on my PC, anyway the Autostreamer worked a charm.
    Many thanks again
    Regards Jim
