    Patching SFC has no effect, is there a way to disable it with REG, but I'd like to test it.

    Yes, update.exe is trying to check and thus gives an error. Closing SFC has no effect.
    So I updated again, it seems to be my only flaw.
    In KB3126587 it creates duplicates in registry.
    i am fixing
    I found it in RVMI.
    It extracts the Build Date File. for Server 2003

    Just wanted to say thanks for developing this tool - it's really revitalized deploying XP on old systems for me, making the hurdles of getting a 20+ year old OS running smoothly in less time than it would take doing it manually, and making it run on hardware far newer than it was designed for - which comes in handy when deploying to a VM!

    let me wait until vista2esd can release (late 2022) and find out easy deployment of vista (updated so i don’t do a stressful work and installing updates) and modern hardware :D

    It was loaded from Update.exe. I saw something, I had to hack the update.exe file to get it under control.
    I already have the hack file, so does 5eraph.

    The Back button of the XP-styled setup screen I created looks better now than it was before.

    so with this pack is it possible to install windows xp 32-bit on the X99 platform by chance?

    I am waiting till 1.6.3 comes out before I jump on this.

    @George King Here's what the setup design I made looks like overall.

    not bad, well in my case I use that program to at least lighten the burden of going to photoshop and making the alpha channel... I just pass my .png files to transform it into transparent bmp...

    Ikr, anyways, I gave George King the updated icon and the rest of the resources I made for the setup design (like I did with server 2003's gray OOBE), he updated the .res files and they're going to be included anyway into XP2ESD 1.6.3.

    @George King If the MBR/GPT requirement for specific firmware mode can be disabled, then the upgrade button for the XP2ESD setup can be repurposed to create duplicate buttons that can perform different things:
    - The pseudo-upgrade button: a duplicate version of clean install's partition selector that uses 7za to extract OS over existing installed OS based on chosen partition letter while the delete, expand, and format buttons are always disabled (this is a way to substitute the complicated upgrade process), I don't know how to get selected drive letter from installer to add into a batch file, so this pseudo-upgrade suggestion can be ignored.
    But if more buttons are added, then the "Which type of installation do you want?" string needs to be changed to something else.
    - Creating a duplicate button to add a custom partition manager found online: I know the setup has a built-in basic partition panel when choosing a drive letter to install, but maybe it's best if a basic program like partition wizard or partition manager can be added as an extra button to allow users for more advanced HDD configuration that the built-in on doesn't provide (like re-adjusting partition size, I know setup can only extend, add and delete partitions but it can't split partitions, it can't allow you to choose which partition you want to set as active, it can't change disk's partition style from MBR-to-GPT or GPT-to-MBR without erasing data).
    These are ideas that can improve WinPE for an AIO-setup experience.
    If the upgrade function can't work in XP2ESD, at least repurposing the upgrade button, duplicating it, and changing paths can allow the HDD partition tool software to run by clicking the button from the installer instead of upgrading.
