Help! How can you slipstream all 3 into the i386 directory, it doesn't make sense. XP doesn't install the other 2 natively so it would not have all the required files to run! I was trying vista system properties for xp by ~fediafedia but I can't figure out how you'd slipstream it Weird!

Ok.. well if it goes like this, why not just use Vista.
If you have a mid range computer of today, it will run Vista 64-bit in a way that will massacre XP any day now, on all aspects.

Then again, if you can't run Vista, you probably don't need as a web browser is all you use.

Regarding integrating in setup, I have not tried it. You can try it, may be it works? I think it should work.

But, remember you should not overwrite these files with your original XP files.
It can cause system failure and everything you can imagine.
But, great post VG.
