find a topic called install updates from disc
basically copy all updates to a dvd and update the script and run it
when done it will only install the missing ones and tell you how many
but yes, learn wsus be much easier in long term for you

in winnt.sif set the driversigning to ignore
it then doesn't care if your using unsigned or not::
[unattended]
DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
NonDriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
as noted here:

got it working using this:
START /WAIT %CDROM%\apps\AVG\AVGFreeEdition_v10.0.1388.exe /AppMode=Setup /UILevel=silent /InstallToolbar=0 /DontRestart /InstallSidebar=0 /ChangeBrowserSearchProvider=0 /ParticipateProductImprovement=0 /SelectedLanguage=1033
START /WAIT %windir%\system32\pskill.exe -t avgui.exe

Hello nucleus,
Did you ever find a fix for this as i am now using AVG and find this part rather annoying.
am thinking of using pskill.exe to kill once installed as will run on next login.
[edit]
am currently using these switches and all is ok with install itself

cheers spoiled.
yep, already using the ork to generate the .mst file
i looked through many old threads, and found ref to deleting the error reporting keys.
i also don't slipstream in the ServicePacks, and weirdly these produce a confirmation box at the end even though the command is correct.
will test some more and see what happens.

you need to add a command to the runoncex.cmd window so it will get to the end of list 1 in window and the show a 2nd window with the remaining applications
can't find it on mine, sorry.

Hello All,
Have done a search and couldn't find what i was after.
I recall once that to get Office 2003 installed at runonceex.cmd you needed to add some reg keys to the tweak.reg files so you wouldn't get an error.
I have lost these and can't find them on here.
Does anybody have these please?
Thanks.

Hello,
In xp with notify before download, in the box listing updates available you could select those not to appear again.
In W7 i am unable to see how to do this?
is it possible. I ask as want to hide the gazillion MUI list and also the new browser ballot one; (happy with firefox x64 thanks)

Hello All,
Apologies if no use, and hope you don't mind me using yours as a basis 64ninjas.
The attached file, is based on a search using the MS Security Bulletin Search, using the below criteria:
Website url: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/current.aspx
Product/Technology: windows xp professional x64
Service Pack: sp2
update severity: all checked
Gives a total of 196 updates in total.
This includes all those that have been superseded and also useful extras like IE7 & IE8 & .net ....
[edit]
attached file only worked in IE not Firefox x64. doh!

maxXPsoft,
First I want to say thanks for spending time making and tweaking this app.
On 3rd go it working all fine.
Only thing I don't understand is adding off applications using Add Apps button.
I have the folder Apps at the root and the app sees this, but no idea what I'm supposed to see or do.
it opens the window with tick boxes, but no idea what i should expect to see.
you have some simple steps an id*** can follow please.

I have no need for this and did not select to be used during install, yet the silly icon is still there.
wastes screen space and should;t be there if asked not to be used.
This is how to remove:

basically, stop the x2 services:
# HomeGroup Listener
# HomeGroup Provider

but x64 os isn't exactly new to the market in any form, especially xp form.
yes it did change in vista, and it is better i think - easier to use more than anything
also agree that w7 will probably be last x86 os, which is no bad thing as hardware has been pushing forwards much more

which was developed and released by M$ if i'm not mistaken, and as such why the laziness to make an x64 activex control.
i think it is a case of;
manufacturers: nobody uses x64 so why make suitable apps
end users: we don't use x64 because you don't make suitable apps
chicken and egg situation

Why do M$ think that under the x64 version you would want to use the x86 version by default? as this is the one they put on the start menu.
Seems pretty stupid to me, but they do include an x64 as well.
That is even more stupid. Include both an x86 & x64 version of the same application on x64........
some stupid logic or what
sorry, just a rant.
changed shortcut to point to x64 one and deleted the default taskbar icon for it, again another stupid concept.

Thank you.
