@Gus: Already tested on chinese and english XP,work fine either as addon integrating into XP resource for xp setup or as silent installer on running XP.
1st of all,you should check MD5 of the downlload file,
then what integrator do you use?
i'm nlite user,obviously,entries for nlite,honest,i know a little about Raym Integrator even dont know how to write entrties for it,so not sure it work for Raym integrator.
,you can check svcpack.inf whether command-line has been integrated (see below code SetupHotfixesToRun section and check SVCPACK folder whether vbox.exe file already has been added.
[SetupHotfixesToRun]
VBox.exevbox will be installed at time left 13min during xp setup.
thanks for the report,but i amnot sure what cause the problem for you,ill do my best.

update: installing service pack 2 in silent mode
run cmd
Windows6.0-KB948465-X86.exe /quiet /norestart
base on MS techNet
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library...5037.aspx#Scen2
Command-line options
Use the options, described in the following table, to define the way Windows Vista SP2 is installed. You can precede the following options with either a forward slash (/) or a hyphen (-). Note that the options are not case-sensitive, and XXX stands for either x86 or x64.
Syntax:
windows6.0-kb948465-XXX.exe [/quiet] [/nodialog] [/norestart]
windows6.0-kb948465-XXX.exe [/quiet] [/nodialog] [/forcerestart | /warnrestart[:<Seconds>]] [/promptrestart]
For example, to run the installation file in quiet mode without restarting the computer, type windows6.0-kb948465-x86.exe /quiet /norestart.

Update command line when cpatere installation image,Base on the first link above Mr_Smartepants provided
(Update 11: Also note that the "Business" specified after /flags should be replaced with one of the following if another version of Vista/S2008 is being captured:
HomeBasic
HomePremium
Starter
Ultimate
Enterprise
ServerDatacenter
ServerEnterprise
ServerStandard
The emphasis being there should be no space between the words.)
SO if the installed edtion is Ultimate the flags must be "Ultimate" -
Mr_Smartepants :thanks,i got some usefull information from the fisrt link,audit mode should be the channel MS provide to her OEM parter to deploy OEM system,so this method is reasonable and i think the image generated using this method is clean and minimum.
ricktendo64 and MrNxDmX: now i have to use this method until vlite develop slimstream sp2 button.

Already tested and installed on virtual machine and physical machine,it work fine.
Image file generated use this method still support Vlite ,VUT,GimageX to view and edit,good luck.

DONT MISS "Press any key boot from CD or DVD"

When dispaly PE command prompt window,change to e:\

imagex.exe /compress maximum /flags "Business" /capture C: D:\INSTALL.WIM "Windows Vista Business SP2"
Scanning folders and files...
Begin working... this process spend about 1hour

Close virtual machine when display this line

Now press "Win+R",Insert "compcln.exe"and run ,this is service pack cleanup tool. It locate in the system32 folder.
it'll decrease the installation size,delete unneeded files,delete sp1 files,make sp2 files reside in installation permanently...
i cant find any MS offical explanation about this tool,but it really make the installation image generated nearly 200MB smaller,this tool is cool.
of course

cleanup tool is working...

Forgot one thing ,you should have a full edition Vista SP1 DVD that already created to be an ISO file,i named it VISTASP1.ISO,not a Vlited or some else,now lets begin
Launch VISTASP1.ISO to boot virtual machine...
Accept license,select what edtion to be installed,for example Im VB user,i select VB to be intalled, just follow the prompt step by step,you need not to insert your serial as you dont need an activated installation.
you should create two partitions at partition manager window ,one for hold install image that will generate in next steps,another for install vista sp1
Assign 5GB capcity to first partiton,the left (15GB)to second partition,dont forget give them formatting.

CHOOSE SECOND PARTITION TO INSTALL

now expanding files...,

after restart virtual machine step into OOBE,DONT INSERT ANYTHING at this screen,just press "CTRL+SHIFT+F3",then virtual machine will restart automatically...

i post the process,hope it helpfull to those wanna creating a Vista SP2 DVD.
MUST thanks my friend Qiuping Huang provide this method,
and now I use VMWare to make it work
First of all let's do some preparations
1.Download Windows Vista serice pack 2 pre-beta from here,
Vista Serice Pack 2 pre-beta x86
then create it to be an ISO file,I named it SP2BETA_16497.iso
2.Install VMWare workstation ,create a virtual machine with a 20GB virtual hard disk and allocate all disk space to the virtual harddisk,this will be helpfull to enhance virtual machine performance,Rick has made a good lite edtion,VMWare Workstation Lite,just regiter a trial key from vmware.
3.Create a PE2.0 ISO file must include imagex utility,you need not do this if you already have one
How to create a PE2.0 ISO?
1st dowload MS windows AutoInstallkit(AIK) for Vista sp1 from here
Install WAIK via mount WAIK ISO file to virtual CD
click "Windows PE Tools Command Prompt" shortcut when installation finished
Run below command line at command prompt window,
copype.cmd x86 d:\PE

then copy all the folders/files under "C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\x86" into "d:\pe\ISO" folder

Run below line under "C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\x86" to make a PE2.0 ISO( 218MB),i named it PE.ISO
oscdimg.exe -bd:\PE\etfsboot.com -h -u2 -m -lWINPE d:\PE\ISO d:\PE.iso

[Release] Drive Space Indicator v5.3.7.6

yeah ,cablite.dll file not be included in the inf addon
and i knew what cause the fatal error,just copy cablite.dll to DSI installation folder from silent installer,problem solved.
