TBCCopy the contents of your DVD onto your server.You should have a directory that looks like this:<pre>dir /L /OG %software%\GIS\ArcDesktop10</pre> In order to slipstream the service packs into the install image it is necessary to create an admin install of just the desktop component (ie the setup which is in the "desktop folder").Because of the length of some of the various filenames in the unpacked ArcGIS installer, I always find it necessary to use the "SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE" option when creating an admin install of ArcGIS. <pre>msiexec /a %software%\GIS\ArcDesktop10\desktop\setup.msi SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE</pre>This is interactive installer will ask you to define a location for the admin install. I've used %software%\GIS\ArcDesktop10\arceditor in the package below. Now download the service packs
