KB905474 integrate into slipstream XPSP3

Is there a way to integrate KB905474 into a slipstream cd of windows XP with
SP3 integrated already ? I have tried the standard method of "kb905474
/integrate c:\xpsp3" but it does not seem to work. Has anyone or does anyone
know how to integrate the WGA into winxpsp3 ?

Fairly certain the answer is, "No, it cannot be done".

Having done the integration thing for years - I'll offer some advice:
- Integrate all you can easily - especially the big stuff (service packs).
- Install as much as you can of what you couldn't integrate in T-13 or
Post-Installation scripts.
- Let the rest go - it's not that big of a deal or worth it to worry over
some of them - particularly the ones that have and will continue to change.

Good luck!

No and why would you want to do such a thing in the first place? KB905474
is very frequently revised/re-released: If you choose to install any version
of it, you will have to choose to install any newer versions, as well.

I think I already posted why I want to. Also If a new version comes out then
I would just integrate that one. My motives are not what I am asking to be
questioned. I simply would like to integrate something that microsoft is
fairly insistent upon having installed.

No matter what your motive, it can't be done.

PS: KB905474 is an Optional update and always has been

I understand your reasoning - without a doubt; however - if the system is
set to automatically update and/or using a WSUS server - this should not be
a problem. If neither of those are true - I cannot see this issue coming up
that often. ;-)

You can peruse two of the better Unattended Instructional sites (IMO) out
there for Windows XP to see what you find - but in my experience (of looking
for myself for this one) - you will find nothing - or a hack that just fools
it(sometimes) and only temporarily.

(The instructions and the forums.)

(The CVS Repository/scripts are good to look through.)
