theoretically not as you just need to replace the hotfix file in the .\i386\svcpack - folder. the name is a false friend here as it does not work the same way it does on service packs. sorrowly. practically there is the problem (or can lead to a problem) i mentioned above, that there in fact are hotfixes that replace some files. anyway, with /integrate on hotfixes the source is not up2date, but the installation will be.

/integrate on hotfixes basically does nothing more than adding them to svcpack.inf so that they're executed during setup. practically they are replacing (call it "messing up" if you want ) some files in i386/AMD64 and adding a bunch of cat-files and that is the problem with /integrate.

did anyone manage to download the critical internet explorer update via the download center? it returns me that the download is not available.

why dont you use a for loop for the hotfixes? so you wouldnt have to add them manually to your .cmd

extract the driver and try running CTZAPXX.exe /q /o /r or CTZAPXX.exe /S instead

you cannot disable it because internet explorer is deeply "wired" into windows and a lot of functions deserve internet explorer to be present. what you can do is removing IE using nlite which disables copying of IE itself but not of the shared components windows needs. but i would not recommend this as you may need IE for windows & office update. if you use "IEAccess = No" under [Components] in your winnt.sif you can disable all visible entries to IE. maybe this fits your needs best.

of course exactly this part is not unique. it is created with random values for the different users you have configured on your system. apply them to HKEY_CURRENT_USER at T12 and you wont have problems.

make sure you have OemPreinstall=Yes UnattendSwitch=Yes set in the [unattended] section. and be aware that OEAccess=No just disables all visible entries to Outlook Express in Start Menu, Quick Launch and so an, but does not disable the installation of it.

just execute firefox.exe -silent -nosplash -setDefaultBrowser

the problem is not runonceex i think. but the problem might be the command shell executing the batch file that adds the information to the registry during setup. try to get the encoding of the letter by testing in batchfiles with echo commands and a ascii table.

just open it in notepad and change the first line to REGEDIT4

yes, before the hotfixes if you have hotfixes for IE6

download the webinstaller an start it with the following command: ie6setup.exe /c:"ie6wzd.exe /D:1 /s:""#E""" this will give you the possibility to download all installation files for a specific operating system. you can silently install IE by launching ie6setup.exe /Q:A /R:N then. and of course you can package everything and install it together with windows.

place the file there if you use e.g. /qb or /qn in an windows installer installation and it reaches an errorlevel like the one you posted, it will rollback and quit the setup. i guess it is the same with other installation systems.

with such kiddie-1337-stuff unattended windows-installs finally reach a point they never were meant to reach. :-P

none. the topic is hot since a few days.

the first one disables the welcome screen in the new logon and the second one switches to the classic logon look.

thats nothing that is not standing in "for /?"

I have no idea of what the mbsa is. Anywhere I can download hfnetcheck from? Have been Googling around but nothing leads me to Microsoft or another downloading source. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> microsoft baseline security analyzer. google for that @Astalavista: nice idea but i could be done much better. btw the list of installed hotfixes also available in the windows uninstall dialog - just in case you didnt know. and if you want to add it to the oembranding get the values from the registry, thats cleaner and less error-prone.

check out hfnetcheck which is a microsoft tool that does the same and is available with the mbsa.

have you used any tools like nlite or batchfiles that removed components from your windows cd?

if you use the 7zip sfx you need a hacked version of the 7zS.sfx file that has all gui elements removed. i attached the one i used. 7zS_NoGUI.zip

first of all you need to know that /integrate does nothing more than automating the process of adding a hotfix to svcpack.inf nothing more, nothing less. i guess you already checked if KB893066.exe is inside the SVCPACK folder, didnt you?

use regsvr32 /s /u mydocs.dll in a unattended batch file
