This is a list of all the critical hotfixes you need for Windows XP Professional SP1 32-bit. Recommended Updates are excluded from this list as they are not always needed for every system, whereas the Critical Updates should be installed for every system. This list will be updated regularly and old ones removed when a newer hotfix supersedes it.

xxx_Q832483_MDAC_X86.EXE /C:"dahotfix.exe /q /n" /q

where xxx is your language version.

WMP9 and MM2 Bundle (no switch needed)

Tip: Make sure Q828026 is queued up after WMP9 in svcpack.inf.

--------------------------------------------------

Updates

21st September 2004 - 2 new Type 1 updates added (833987 and 883357), both can be installed via svcpack.inf.

30th July 2004 - New Cumulative update for Internet Explorer released (867801), this replaces the last cumulative update (832894) and all the ones before that. We stress that you remove all old IE cumulative updates from svcpack.inf to avoid issues.

27th July 2004 - DirectX 9.0c is released, and is listed under Extras. The switch /silent can be used on dxsetup.exe. The DirectX 9.0b Security Update (Q839643) has been removed from the list, this is superceded by DirectX 9.0c which contains all past fixes, so you can remove this from your svcpack.inf file.

13th July 2004 - Good news, all 5 updates marked *NEW* (4 in Type1, and 1 in Type2) can be installed via svcpack.inf without any difficulty. Remove Q837009.exe from both svcpack.inf and your svcpack folder as this is superseded by the newer OE Update.

2nd July 2004 - New Critical Update workaround for Internet Explorer to protect against the Download.Ject exploit. KB870669 under Type 2 Hotfixes. I haven't had time to test this thoroughly, but install this after any MDAC patches you plan to install.

13th June 2004 - DirectX update added Q839643, make sure you download the correct hotfix by reading the notes in brackets in this list.

11th May 2004 - 1 new Windows XP Update today: Q840374 - Vulnerability in Help and Support Center Could Allow Remote Code Execution. You may also want to re-download Q837001, as it's been re-released.

you don't need Q329170 when you install Q817606 (both update the srv.sys, but Q817606 is newer)

you don't need Q810577 when you install Q816073 (not listed here)

you may also want to add Q818857 (IE 6 Patch) - Slow Performance When You Use Internet Explorer 6 SP1 to View MIME Type File Attachments

According to the Knowledge Base article Q817606, it says the following:

Patch Replacement Information

This patch does not replace any other patches.

you don't need Q810577 when you install Q816073 (not listed here)
816073 isn't downloadable :/
you may also want to add Q818857 (IE 6 Patch) - Slow Performance When You Use Internet Explorer 6 SP1 to View MIME Type File Attachments

see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=818857

The urlmon.dll file (6.0.2800.1226) in the August 2003 Cumulative IE6SP1 patch supercedes the version of urlmon.dll (6.0.2800.1216) in the IE6SP1 update released yesterday. I don't know what prompted Microsoft to release this, but this cannot be installed if the August Cumulative patch is installed.

This hotfix list was created from a normal install of XP SP1 I ran yesterday, viewed on WindowsUpdate

816073 isn't downloadable :/

get it at w2s

I could, but I won't. Other people can if they want, but this patch does need to go though additional internal testing before Microsoft choose to make it available to download officially. Non-official patches won't be added to the main list.

Quick question. This is my first time installing hotfixes using the unattended installation for a clean installation. In the past, I have installed hoftixes on an existed Windows XP using Windows Updates that creates so many Uninstalls in the Remove and Install Program list. Will this also do the same that adds Uninstalls into the Remove and Install Program list which I hated it?
