This document provides information about Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Workstation and Windows NT 4.0 Server Service Pack 6 (SP6), as well as answers to questions that you might have. For the most up-to-date list of supported hardware, see the Hardware Compatibility List by visiting the Microsoft Web site at: This release of Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6 is easy to apply while Windows NT is running.

SP6 updates all files that are older than those included in this Windows NT Service Pack. Service Pack releases are cumulative, containing all previous Service Pack fixes and any new fixes created after Service Pack 5 (SP5). Important: You should stop running any critical services before you apply Windows NT 4.0 SP6.

For more preinstallation recommendations, see, later in this document. SP6 is a collection of current updates and enhancements to Windows NT Server 4.0 and Windows NT Workstation 4.0 since their releases. SP6 is not a required upgrade. If you have deployed or are in the process of deploying a previous Service Pack, you probably need not change your plans. To accommodate customers in this situation, Microsoft provides software updates for critical issues to previous Service Packs. For example, you can continue to obtain year 2000 (Y2K) software updates if you're using Service Pack 4 (SP4).

SP6 content is focused on: • Demonstrated customer impact SP6 contains many of the recent updates to Windows NT 4.0. In addition, SP6 has undergone extensive regression testing.

• Year 2000 fixes SP6 provides the latest fixes to known year 2000 issues in Windows NT 4.0. For more information about SP6 and year 2000 issues, see, 'Year 2000 Updates,' later in this document. For the latest information on year 2000 and Windows NT 4.0, visit the Microsoft Year 2000 Portal Page Web site at: or call 1-888-MSFT-Y2K (1-888-673-8925) or contact your local Microsoft subsidiary. • Euro issues SP6 includes the existing updates for Windows NT 4.0 euro support. For the most recent information about Windows NT 4.0 and euro, visit the Microsoft Euro Currency Resource Center Web site at: • Security updates SP6 contains current updates for known Windows NT 4.0 security issues. For the most recent information about Windows NT security, visit the Microsoft Security Advisor Web site at: List of Fixes in Service Pack 6 To assist customers who are deciding whether to upgrade to SP6, Microsoft provides extensive documentation of the fixes and updates contained in SP6. This documentation gives customers the opportunity to analyze whether the SP6 contents justify the necessary test and deployment resources.

For the most recent list of affected Service Pack files, visit the Microsoft Windows NT Server Web site at: For a list of fixes contained in Service Packs 1 through 5, visit the Microsoft Personal Online Support Center Web site at: SP6 is not required for year 2000 compliance. Microsoft is committed to maintaining SP4, SP5, and SP6 with fixes for known year 2000 issues. Note: In order to simplify the upgrade process, the SP4 Y2ksetup.exe composite patch is no longer included in the recommended upgrade path. Y2ksetup.exe was used to update the following Windows NT 4.0 components: • Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 • Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) • Site Server Express Important: Do not install Y2ksetup.exe after you install SP6. With SP6, you should install any needed updates to these components individually. The Microsoft Year 2000 Product Analyzer scans a hard disk or network drive to report the year 2000 compliance levels of Microsoft products and, if updates are required, the report provides links to product-specific update information.

To determine which updates you may need, to download the Microsoft Year 2000 Product Analyzer, or to read the latest year 2000 information regarding Microsoft products, visit the Microsoft Year 2000 Portal Page Web site at: You can also call the Microsoft Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure line at 1-888-MSFT-Y2K (1-888-673-8925) or contact your local Microsoft subsidiary. This section contains important information regarding standard and 128-bit encryption. SP6 contains standard encryption. This release isn't supported for installation on an existing North American 128-bit installation of Windows NT 4.0. If you install SP6 on a computer with 128-bit encryption, system services might fail to start. To determine if 128-bit encryption is installed • Double-click My Computer.

• On the View menu, click Folder Options. • On the View tab, select Show all files, and then click OK. • Click Start, point to Find, and then click Files or Folders. • In Named, type Rsaenh.dll. • Select the hard disk to search, and then click Find Now. • Repeat steps 4 and 5 for any additional hard disks you want to check. If the file exists in the system folder in your Windows NT folder, then you have 128-bit encryption support installed.

If the file does not exist, you have standard encryption. Installing the standard encryption version of SP6 on a previously existing 128-bit computer does not downgrade all of the encryption in the operating computer, so it will not necessarily change whether you can export the computer. If your computer has 128-bit encryption, download the 128-bit version of SP6. To do this, visit the Microsoft Windows NT Server Web site at: The 128-bit CD can be ordered from the same Web site.

The Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack CD contains supplemental and support files that you may find useful. To order the CD, visit the Microsoft Windows NT Server Web site at: The Support and ValueAdd folders on this CD contain additional Windows components that can be installed as you need them.

These files are not part of the Service Pack 6 installation, but are included for installation and use at your discretion.

I reopen the removed post request by the admin As you know, stupid setup.exe for nt 6.x (vista/win7/2008/2008 r2) has many limitations: 1. You can't start install vista/win7 under xp based pe (winpe 1.x) and can't install win7 under win2000 2. You can't install win7 directly to USB hard disk 3. The stupid setup.exe may put the boot files to a wrong drive when you boot winpe with USB device and there is even no way to choose the boot partition 4. When you install win7 from winpe, the drive letter of the OS partition will always be C:, no matter which partition you choose. On the other hand, the fastest way to install nt 6.x is imagex+bcdboot, e.g imagex f: sources install.wim 5 c: bcdboot c: windows /s c: bootsect /nt60 c: And no setup.exe is needed. Based on this, I wrote an 'nt 6.x fast installer' which has the following advatages compare to the original M$ setup.exe: 1.

You can install nt 6.x directly from iso file mounted by any kind of virtual drive. And you needn't extract or burn the iso.

You can directly install nt 6.x from any version winpe and win2000 above windows 3. You can install the OS directly onto a USB external hard drive. And no virtual machine, copy tool or complicated 'tutorial' is needed. You can manually choose which partition is the boot partition.

You can decide which letter the OS partition will occupy in Win7/2008 R2. The install speed is very fast. With this installer, you can install win7 in 11-12 min for 5400rpm notebook hdd, and in less than 10min for desktop 7200 hdd (vista needs about 2 min more because of the score evaluation). This installer is a set of cmd batch files.

162.16KB 256309 downloads Download and extract it to a folder. For copyright reason, I can't include the imagex, bcdboot and bootsect. You need to find them by yourself and put them in the folder. Imagex.exe from win7 7600 waik (imagex from vista can't show the wim contents properly) 2. Bcdboot.exe from win7 ( win7 beta 7000 is recommended, higher version may not run in xp based winpe and win 2000 ) 3. Bootsect.exe from vista or win7 (win7 7600 is recommended).

Then, run the installer.cmd. If you install vista or 2008 from the original iso with this installer, the windows partition will occupy d. After installing the OS on a USB hard drive, you should open the write cache of the hard drive in device manager to speedup the system. If you want to plug the usb OS to another PC, please run the command as administrator Windows System32 sysprep sysprep.exe /oobe /generalize /shutdownAfter the shutting down the computer, you can plug the hard disk to another computer.

Very nice work on this. ------- @agni: My experience says no but I am not the op for this topic so he may have had a different experience than I have.

I have used wim2vhd to 'install' directly to an external drive before for a friend. @fujianabc: I have found that sysprep will require you to create a new user again. You can do this as a dummy though since you already have one there. Once you are booted up login to your usual login and delete the dummy. I found that out when I had to switch controller modes. This was how I got to keep the same OS install.

Hello, I was reading this post as I am intrested in install win7 over an Usb-Hdd stick but I don't understand this part: 1. If you install vista or 2008 from the original iso with this installer, the windows partition will occupy d. I have 9 partitions in 4 harddrives so I have letters from C: to M: because it includes 2 extra letters for the CD and the DVD. I need to know if I mount the win7 ISO on a virtual drive, let's day virtual drive L: (using magicIso virtual cd/dvd), then what should I do?

Should I edit any of the *.cmd or *.conf files that are in the 7zip files? And if I have to change any file, after installing this way, would it overwrite any of the files in the drives C: to M: that I have? This is nice idea. One question. Can the new installer, formate/delete partition?This is only an 'installer', which means you should create/format the partition yourself.

Noticed this (maybe language related): occurs after this text: xcopy is missing* Everything is completed* continue the installation* in installer.cmdThank your for your reporting, I have corrected these punctuations in #post2. I have 9 partitions in 4 harddrives so I have letters from C: to M: because it includes 2 extra letters for the CD and the DVD. I need to know if I mount the win7 ISO on a virtual drive, let's day virtual drive L: (using magicIso virtual cd/dvd), then what should I do? Should I edit any of the *.cmd or *.conf files that are in the 7zip files? And if I have to change any file, after installing this way, would it overwrite any of the files in the drives C: to M: that I have?No, you needn't change anything. By default, the os partition of win7 will occupy the letter C: after the installation no matter which partition you choose.

But if you like, you can change the letter as shown in the 3rd picture in #post2.
