Hi everyone, On a Windows XP SP3 i add a script that install updates at T-12. i run all my update at t-12 and for an unknown reason, KB940157 wont run if i run it manually at t-12 (shift-f10 trick) i have an error stating that Terminal Server Service must be enable. Any idea? Stéphane

Thanx for this trick!! realy helpfull! And i find that what i need is not into the registry at T-39, it is created a litle bit latter so, the t-39 is not a good place for my script, thanx again Stéphane

Thanx for your answer it confirm what i was thinking as usual... i will look for hf slip Thanx again

Hi, im researching on th KB947864 update who dont work when ie7 is install at install time (t-13 or t-12) There is a problem with the dllcache folder at install time When the installation of IE7 at t-12 begin the dllcache folder is empty. When IE7 install himself, the .dll (wininet.dll) files are well copied to the dllcache folder. But a first reboot, sometings (WPF) copy files to dllcache folder and dont look a files already present et ovewrite files from the ie7 installation with older one (ie6) So there is two problems, first the dll cache should not overwrite files without first checking for version at first boot and i dont konw why this patch look for a files into dll cache to do validate is prerequist. it shouldnt and base the installation only on present files on the windows / system32 folders. i will do a script who rename all the files from dll cache at T-12 and place information to rename them back at boot time (PendigFileRenameOperations), if the PendigFileRenameOperations take place after the WPF initiation of the dllcache, both problem will be resolve. I test and post the result here. ==== Edit 1 ==== There is the time frame of the DLLCACHE folder T-39: 20 .CAT files are copied to the folder T-13: Update specific files copied to the folder T-12: Update specific files copied to the folder T-9: (AFTER UserExecute from WinNT.SIF ) FullFiled with more than 2000 files from unknown emplacement and overite allready existing files and dont delete existing files! EUREKA I have code a script who rename files frome dllcache i test it and i let you know 2 things, if you execute the KB947864 at T-13 or T-12 it should install ok, beause of the presence of the files from from the IE7 setup done just before, there is a trick seen here: The files into the dllcache folder ARE RESETED TO IE6 VERSION and this could miss lead WU to report incorect installed patch.

What are the advantages to /integrate (svcpack.inf) a patch over launching the installation from cmdline.txt What is the difference between the installation process at T-13 (svcpack.inf) and T-12 (cmdlines.txt)?? What microsoft recommend to be "lauch" at each time? There is also an inconsisctency with the installlation of IE7 and its patch... IE7 cant use the /integrate switch but its patch (KB947864) does What can happen if i integrate the patch and not IE7? I think the patch must be installed AFTER IE7 and if i integrate it, it will be run after ie7.... Why should i use /integrate, and modify svcpack.inf and dosnet.inf, if i must run the update in an order that can be achieve from cmdline.txt and is easier to implement? ---- EDIT 1 ---- There is advantages to integrate big service pack as SP3, it replace the files from the installation folder and dont execute themselve at setup time Is this the same thing for the smaler patch? I dont know why these patch modify the svcpack.inf, just a way to lauch them at install time? If this is the case, there is no advantage to launch them a t-13 (svcpack.inf) over t-12 (cmdlines.txt) Thanx for your help Stéphane

Hi everyone, I try to modify registry at T-39 (DetatchedProgram=) but it dont seem to works, is it a limitation for this time frame? Is it other things we cant do? Thanx for your help Stéphane

Hi everyone, i have search for this information but there is no clear answer... What is the difference between the installation process at T-13 (svcpack.inf) and T-12 (cmdline.txt)?? What microsoft recommend to be "lauch" at each time? Thanx for your help Stéphane
