Hi all! Nice site you have oe'r here! I stumbled upon this forum while I was browsing thru unattended.msfn.org I knew bout the svcpack.inf method since a long while but I never actually used it, cause I like to keep all my xp updates on a seperate multisessioned cd. I automate the installation by using a simple batch file I have been developing. Here is the file (as of 8 May 2004): start /WAIT DX9NTopk.exe rem This is not the original MPSetupXP file, its an auto-install packagestart /WAIT MPSetupXP.exe rem Standard SP2 updates... start /WAIT Q322011_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT Q323255_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT Q327696_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT Q327979_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT Q328145_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT Q328310_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT Q329048_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT Q329115_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT Q329170_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT q329256_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT Q329390_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT Q329441_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT Q329604_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT q329623_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT Q329692_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT Q329834_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT Q330909_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT Q331320_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT Q331958_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT Q810032_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT Q810272_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT Q810400_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT Q810833_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT Q814033_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT Q814995_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT Q811114_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT Q811493_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT q812415_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT Q815021_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT Q817606_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT Q819696_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -q start /WAIT WindowsXP-KB821557-x86-ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT WindowsXP-KB823980-x86-ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT WindowsXP-KB823559-x86-ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT WindowsXP-KB821253-x86-ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT WindowsXP-KB282010-x86-ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT WindowsXP-KB820291-x86-ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT WindowsXP-KB820291-x86-ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT WindowsXP-KB817778-x86-ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT WindowsXP-KB824105-x86-ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -q rem Some other type of updates.. start /WAIT WindowsMedia8-KB817787-x86-ENU.exe /Q:A /R:Nstart /WAIT q818529.exe /Q:A /R:Nstart /WAIT q822925.exe /Q:A /R:N rem Updates arranged CHRONOLOGICALLY: start /WAIT q818857.exe /Q:A /R:Nstart /WAIT q331488.exe /Q:A /R:Nstart /WAIT WindowsMedia9-KB827560-x86-ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT q828750.exe /Q:A /R:Nstart /WAIT WindowsMedia-KB828026-x86-ENU.exe /quiet /passive /norestart /o /nstart /WAIT q827667.exe /Q:A /R:Nstart /WAIT WindowsXP-KB826939-x86-ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT WindowsXP-KB826942-x86-ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT q826940.exe /Q:A /R:Nstart /WAIT q827057.exe /Q:A /R:Nstart /WAIT q824145.exe /Q:A /R:Nstart /WAIT mm20enu.exe /Q:A /R:Nstart /WAIT setup.exe /Q:A /R:Nstart /WAIT js56nen.exe /Q:A /R:Nstart /WAIT msjavwu_8073687b82d41db93f4c2a04af2b34d.exe /Q:A /R:Nstart /WAIT dotnetfx.exe /Q:A /R:Nstart /WAIT q330994.exe /Q:A /R:Nstart /WAIT WindowsXP-KB822603-x86-ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT HMTCDWizard_enu.exe /Qstart /WAIT WindowsMedia-KB828026-x86-ENU.exe /Q:A /R:Nstart /WAIT WindowsXP-KB825119-x86-ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT WindowsXP-KB823182-x86-ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT WindowsXP-KB829558-x86-ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT WindowsXP-KB828035-x86-ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT WindowsXP-KB824141-x86-ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT hu1002_pro_D3ADFECA5D27B538BFB5243DBF39A9034F2A5019.exe /Q:A /R:Nstart /WAIT ENU_Q832483_MDAC_x86.EXE /C:"dahotfix.exe /q /n" /qstart /WAIT WindowsXP-KB810243-x86-ENU_f9221252ff64f016a59490bfacdd617.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT Q832894_a56d1a98d775e1031c72934a0baa9d7.exe /Q:A /R:Nstart /WAIT WindowsXP-KB828028-x86-ENU.exe -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT vbrun60sp6.exestart /WAIT WindowsXP-KB833998-x86-ENU.EXE -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT WindowsXP-KB837001-x86-ENU.EXE -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT WindowsXP-KB828741-x86-ENU.EXE -u -n -o -z -qstart /WAIT OE6.0sp1-KB837009-x86-ENU.exe /Q:A /R:Nstart /WAIT Q831167.exe /Q:A /R:Nstart /WAIT WindowsXP-KB835732-x86-ENU.EXE /quiet /passive /norestart /o /nstart /WAIT WindowsMedia-KB832353-ENU.exe /quiet /passive /norestart /o /nstart /WAIT WindowsMedia9-KB837272-ENU.exe /quiet /passive /norestart /o /nstart /WAIT Q837251.exe /Q:A /R:NMy queries are: 1) Do I need qchain.exe in this case? I've been using, developing and deploying this file since a long time and have never faced any problems related to file or version incompatibilities... 2) As you can see, I had initially started off by arranging the updates numerically. But since 818857 onwards, I have been following MS's update releases closely and have also been maintaing a document containing the updates, release dates and so forth. Since then I've arranged all the updates in the order they were released. Should I rearrange the rest of the updates chronologically too or let it be as it is? Which way is better in your opinion- Numerically or Chronologically?
