Dear all,
I'm newbie here. Currently i'm using Win2k Pro SP4 then i need to download the hotfix.
My question is, do i need to request those hotfix from Microsoft via phone?
If is it, where do i get the "support id" that needed by Microsoft ?
Or there is other way to download the hotfix ?
Thank you.
Four questions, four answers... kinda...
1) Which Hotifx?
2) Which Hotfix?
3) The Support ID would be a number associated with a Support account that you have already established with Microsoft. There is no generic Support ID that someone could share with you.
4) Which Hotfix?

hi everyone there is a new Internet Explorer Version 7.0.5730.13 I wonder if this new version removes some IE hotfixes !!
Well... according to the Internet Explorer Blog, it doesn't seem to include any patches, and they're not pushing it to people who already have it installed, so it's certainly not critical:
From http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2007/10/0...r-7-update.aspx"With today’s “Installation and Availability Update,” Internet Explorer 7 installation will no longer require Windows Genuine Advantage validation and will be available to all Windows XP users. If you are not already running IE7, you can get it now from the Internet Explorer home page on Microsoft.com, get a customized version from a third-party site, or, if you haven’t already received it via Automatic Updates, this version will be delivered to you as we described previously. If you are already running IE7, you will not be offered IE7 again by Automatic Updates.
Additionally, we’ve made minor changes to IE7 for Windows XP based on customer feedback:
* The menu bar is now visible by default.
* The Internet Explorer 7 online tour has updated how-to’s. Also, the “first-run” experience includes a new overview.
* We’ve included a new MSI installer that simplifies deployment for IT administrators in enterprises. Learn more about it here."
It's hard to tell if it removes any patches, though. MS has been pretty good with not replacing newer files with older ones in their patches and some other installers. I'll try to test this tomorrow and let everyone know (unless someone else tests it first).

Can someone tell me why Windows Update is telling me to install .Net Framework 2.0 security updates even though I have .NET Framework 3.0 installed. Do I have to install these updates?
The .NET Framework versions (1.1, 2.0, 3.0) aren't upgrades... they're different versions that can all exist on a single PC simultaneously. While you may indeed have .NET Framework 3.0 installed, you likely have .NET Framework 2.0 and .NET Framework 1.1 installed as well.
Also, why is Windows Update now telling me to install the following updates even though this list doesn't list them:Security Update for Microsoft XML Core Services 6.0 and Microsoft XML Core Services 6.0 Service Pack 1 (KB933579), Update for Windows XP (KB934238), and February 2007 CardSpace Update for Windows XP (KB925720).
KB933579 - Looks like this one may have been missed... was released August 14, 2007
KB934238 - This only applies to non-English versions of Windows XP
KB925720 - This only applies to Windows XP with .NET 3.0 installed. I don't know what the list assumes as far as your .NET versions.

Why is it that even after I installed this update, KB905474 Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications application (v1.7.0018.1), I still have to install Windows Genuine Advantage when I want to do updates? I thought the whole point of installing this update was to quickly go and get Windows update without installing the utility again?
WGA != WGA Notifications... they're two different things, and MS doesn't have a "normal" download for WGA. You have to get it from the web site (or your browser cache, which I'm trying now...)
Also, why does Windows Update tell me to install this update, Security Update for Windows XP (KB901190), even though it's not on the list?The KB article states that this patch will show up if you have the "Korean language Input Method Editor (IME)" on the Koreal Language edition of Windows, or if you have installed Microsoft Office Proofing Tools 2003 (English version) or Korean language versions of the Microsoft Office 2003 products. In either case, this list is based on the English version of Windows and doesn't include Office-based patches.

List will be updated ASAP!
Guy,
Thanks for the quick update for these two new patches. Why no correction of the "KB905474.exe /q:a /r:n" command at the same time?

hi everyone

I think you have to unpack the KB905474 (with WinRAR for example) and you'll get a file named: WGANOT~1.EXE
This file can be used with /quiet /norestart /nobackup just like any "regular" hotfixes...
No... the downloaded file works great with "/quiet /norestart /nobackup" without any unpacking. The issue is that the oft-updated first post of this thread instructs the user to use "/q:a /r:n" which doesn't work.

I downloaded it and ran /? and it gave me the correct switches. I guess I will have to do more tests. Are you guys extracting the downloaded file or not?
I am using the downloaded file, renamed "KB905474.exe". No other changes.

In Win XP:KB905474 -› Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications application (v1.7.0018.1)
Download -› 1.26 MB (February 27, 2007)
Switches: KB905474.exe /q:a /r:n (cannot use the /integrate; option)
The switches are wrong. The "/?" dialog box pops up listing all valid switches, indicating that this should be "/quiet /norestart" instead of "/q:a /r:n"
- John
Crap... it could also be that I actually had left the "(cannot use the /integrate; option)" on my command line. Crap.
Well... I fixed that, but the error still stands. The switches are wrong and need to be changed to "/quiet /norestart".

Hey there...
Very first item in the XPSP2 list has an error
KB939373 -› Vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Information Services Could Allow Remote Code ExecutionDownload -› 621 KB (July 9, 2007)
Switches: KB99373.exe /q /n /z
The exe in the "Switches" line is missing a character; should be KB939... not KB99...
(edit)
Last-ish item too:
KB936357 -› A microcode reliability update is available that improves the reliability of systems that use Intel processorsDownload -› 692 KB (June 11, 2007)
Switches: KB885626.exe /q /n /z
Wrong exe.

Nope. Slipstreaming is only possible with the Enterprise version of the Office System 2003. Sorry.

Possibly a stoopid (or already asked) question, but...
Why is the list of patches in reverse chronological order? I'd love to simply copy and paste the contents of the first post into my svcpack.inf, but aren't you supposed to apply them in chronological order? If so, you have to shuffle the entire list around from top to bottom in order to get them in the right order.
Hopefully, I'm wrong, the existing list works great, and nobody needs to change a thing... but I don't think so...

All,
Is there anything I can download or hack in the registry to pre-load the "latest Windows Update software." After running my latest XP Unattended CD, everything woks great, but going to Windows Update gives me: "Get the latest Windows Update software." I could simply click on Okay and load it, but I'd like to *preload* it (y'know, the whole point of an unattended install
)Anyone have any ideas? I've watched for the files that are DLed for this install, but IE deletes them immediately after installing & DLing. There's no time to grab a copy (like I did for the Root Certs Update for 2000 B) )

Just the cookie stuff? That's what I can't get. All the others (empty temp int files, passive ftp, etc.) are working fine for me tho...

All,
I have a randomly-named no-rights-for-admin directory at the root of C: on any machine I build with my XP CD. It only contains an SP2\UPDATE directory with a sigle file (update.exe) in it. You can't delete it -- even as admin! -- until you assign rights to it to admin. There's nothing else left to look at to tell which patch it is.
Anyone have any ideas?- John

Hey all...
Just had this one show up on a PC based on the info in this thread:
Q839643 (8th June 2004)
Vulnerability in DirectPlay Could Allow Denial of Service
I'm using the following switches: KB839643.EXE /quiet /passive /norestart /n
Why is this one not listed before now? Am I missing something?
Is it assumed that we are all upgrading DirectX? (We're not.)(I'm not complaining... I just don't think we *all* could have missed this...)

oh my....
well glad to know you actuall type /? , unfortunately, this has been around since before SP2. And all it does....
adds the fiels to DOSNET.INF and TXTSETUP.SIF (i think) and then adds it to SVCPACK.INF
Veeeeeeery niiiiice.
Oh well... I was worried about older patches stomping on the integrated files anyway.0 -
Hey there,
I just entered "KB824151.EXE /?" to check out the switches myself (because that's just the way I am
) and saw a switch I don't remember seeing:/integrate:<fullpath> Integrate this software update into <fullpath>Should we use this to integrate these patches into the CD instead of putting them into svcpack.inf?

However, the most common users are moving to SP2, so it seemed appropriate to move on to SP2.
I beg to differ here... most of the corporate and educational people I know (myself included) are avoiding SP2 until vendors have a chance to update the software that it breaks. We probably will not be installing SP2 until some time in 2005.
I'll post what I can in the way of hotfixes necessary for "XP SP1 Post-SP2"... maybe today...

Well, if you have MS Windows XP Pro SP2 along with IE7, WMP11, Windows Live Messenger 8.1 installed, then, if you install all of the (currently 90) patches listed in the first post in this thread, your computer will be fully patched according to what Microsoft serves out in Windows Updates. If you do not have all of the add-ons listed (IE7, WMP11, Windows Live Messenger 8.1), you may need other patches as well.
Is this for building an automated install CD or patching an existing installation? If the later (which it kinda sounds like), you'll likely want to use Windows Update instead.
