The package for the .Net Framework in on the CD but you still need to do the
install yourself the autorun on the CD only applies the SP2 package.
I'm not sure what other information you need - the tools etc are the same as
the ones on the regular XP CD as are most of the other components - just
some may have been updated to later versions.
The developer components (symbol files) are common knowledge to developers
who use them if they need them.
The third-party and Microsoft components in the VALUEADD folder are again
common to the base XP CD and contain the appropriate readme files or are
self explanatory.
