I have been around a while, as well – lol.
I started writing assembly language programs in 1975 for the 4004 and 8008 microprocessors.
That was pre-BBS – lol.
I like xp, and i will continue to use it until
I absolutely have to change for some reason.

As XP fades into the sun-set RIP 2011 for final MS updates, Vista (IMHO) was a BETA even for IT pros, never met a user who didn’t have some probs with it. As we look 4-ward to Windows 7!!! [GAG!] Just wondering how many ‘Critical Updates’ that bare-bones OS will need B 4 it even starts acting like a real browser. If it was Bill Gates mission to send the masses over to Firefox, he sure is doing a wonderful job. On system errors MSIE 6, 7 & 8 have plenty, & bugs seem to flock to it as more exploits R invented daily, Firefox is a more stable OS, less system errors, but the exploits come in thru those fancy Yahoo & Google & TWC tool-bars that make our surfing so much fun, until U run a bug-sweep and find a Trojan in your HKEY’s or locals. Google Chrome is a nice plane-Jane lo-RAM, secure OS, but fill it with feeds and U lessen it’s safety. Started off with an Apple IIE (83) on 9,000 baud BBS’s, pre-Internet, so I have been following the trends longer than some who read this may have been alive!

A few other notes about installing dotNET…….

First, I want to mention that Windows Installer ver 3.1 or better is required for the installation of 3.5. Windows Installer ver 3.1 is a pain in the backside. It can cause problems when attempting to uninstall other programs in the future that were installed prior to WI3.1 installation. Sun Java is one that comes to mind. To avoid this problem, I strongly recommend installing Windows Installer ver 4.5 beforehand. In fact, if you are doing a fresh rebuild, I suggest you remove any programs you may not want, then install WI4.5 before continuing with the the rest of the build. This will save you a lot of headaches.

Second, getting dotNET1.1sp1 set up, with it’s updates is a good idea before continuing. This is also true of dotNET1.0, however very few programs use 1.0 and I have opted not to install it.

Third, if you install dotNET3.5sp1, it installs dotNET2.0sp2 and dotNET3.0sp2. No need to install those first.

Forth, these dotNET installers work very differently from how most MS installation packages work. For most KB’s and other MS installer packages, you install, then re-boot to complete installation. The dotNET installation puts the files in place and continues building (or “pre-compiling”) the libraries. This may be observed by opening the Task Manager and noticing a program called “mscoresvw.exe” running. The installation of a specific package is not complete until this program no longer runs after boot. On the plus side, it seems that MS has done a good job creating this installation technique, as you may continue to install updates etc. on top of the core builder and it will complete those tasks in order. It seems to be very well behaved.

Fifth, after installing dotNET3.5sp1, you will want to install KB958481, KB958483, and KB958484, in that order.

Finally, I want to give two scenarios that I have been playing with for those who are creating fresh builds. The first scenario is my XP MCE 2005, and the second is XP Pro SP2. They differ only with respect to dotNET1.1sp1. With my XP MCE CD, several other programs are installed
fter the build. This is a Sony OEM build that includes preinstalled software like adobe reader 7, Sun Java 5 update 0, dotNET1.1sp0, and KB886904 dotNET1.1sp0 hotfix. The OEM build also included many “bloatware” programs that I have removed (goodbye norton).

Note – I prefer to reboot after installing or uninstalling any program – that’s right reboot after each one – this does not apply to dotNET3.5sp1 and it’s updates

XP MCE2005 OEM – After initial installation:
1) remove Sun Java 5 update 0
2) use KB938244 cleanup tool to remove KB886904
(if you have KB928366, KB929729, or KB928367 installed, use
the KB939160 cleanup tool to remove those)
3) remove Adobe Reader 7
4) remove any other software that is not desired
5) install Windows Installer ver 4.5
6) if you have a SATA drive, install KB941715
7) install dotNET 1.1 sp1 (KB867460)
install KB886903
9) install KB928366

XP PRO SP2 – After initial installation:
1) install Windows Installer ver 4.5
2) if you have a SATA drive, install KB941715
3) install dotNET 1.1 sp1 (KB867460)
4) install KB886903
5) install KB928366

Once you have dotNET 1.1 sp1 set up……
1) install MSXML 6.0
2) install XML Paper Specification Essentials Pack
3) install dotNET 3.5 sp1
4) install KB958481 \
5) install KB958483 > aka KB959209
6) install KB958484 /
