Have you trying booting into safe mode and running MyDefrag from there?

I would like to add this url <update id="KB891861-UR2" category="1" publishdate="2011-07-07" article="http://www.msfn.org/board/?showtopic=152194"> <title>(Unofficial) Update Rollup 2 for Windows 2000 (KB891861-UR2)</title> <description></description> <filename>Windows2000-KB891861-UR2-x86-ENU.exe</filename> <url>http://download94.mediafire.com/qw9qbb3tqcfg/hwrmnlppu31i7bd/Windows2000-KB891861-UR2-x86-ENU.exe</url> but I get this error when trying to download the update. Is there any way to make it work?

I know I'm replying in a topic from 2009 but indeed there seem to be a serious issue with these MDAC updates. KB927779 for MDAC 2.53 installs newer versions of several files than MDAC 2.81. There are two cases 1) Install MDAC 2.53's KB927779 and then install MDAC 2.81 + MDAC 2.81's KB927779. After doing so you'll have the following files in the newest version available which comes from MDAC 2.53's KB927779. odbcji32.dll 4.0.6307.0 odbcjt32.dll 4.0.6307.0 oddbse32.dll 4.0.6307.0 odexl32.dll 4.0.6307.0 odfox32.dll 4.0.6307.0 odpdx32.dll 4.0.6307.0 odtext32.dll 4.0.6307.0 2) Install only MDAC 2.81 + MDAC 2.81's KB927779. The following files are in their default version as MDAC 2.81 doesn't update them. odbcji32.dll 4.0.6200.0 odbcjt32.dll 4.0.6200.0 oddbse32.dll 4.0.6200.0 odexl32.dll 4.0.6200.0 odfox32.dll 4.0.6200.0 odpdx32.dll 4.0.6200.0 odtext32.dll 4.0.6200.0 As you can see, in order to have all of the MDAC related files in their newest versions you have to install both MDAC 2.53's KB927779 and MDAC 2.81 + MDAC 2.81's KB927779. On the other hand, when slipstreaming (HFSLIP) it's impossible to do it as HFSLIP will copy MDAC 2.53 files (other than these listed above) over 2.81's files. I tried to fix this in Update Rollup 2-v2 (which is being tested at the moment) where I did some manual .DLL date modyfing in order to have MDAC 2.81's files copied over the older ones from MDAC 2.53 (UR2-v2 has MDAC 2.53's KB927779 included). After slipstreaming UR2-v2 and MDAC 2.81 + KB927779 for MDAC 2.81 the older 2.53's files will get overwritten but you will still have the newest versions of files listed in 1). Anyway, be careful when installing MDAC 2.81 as it is true that it can't be uninstalled the updates for MDAC can be but the installer itself doesn't make backups as far as I see.

Done but it was much more difficult than I thought it would be. Only adding the .CAT files didn't work because WU apparently checks file versions too. I had to do some work and change file versions manually in order to prevent WU from asking for KB979683. Before doing so I checked KB979683 once more - and got a blue screen after reboot. So no KB979683 in UR2. In case of 908531 I had to add the file Verclsid.exe to the Rollup but didn't add the related registry entries. By doing so it's just a dummy file - it's not used by the system but is still present in %systemroot%\system32 folder. WU doesn't ask for 908531 anymore. EDIT At the end, I think I'll have to make UR2 disable WU :/ something doesn't seem to work properly.

This a really good idea. I haven't thought about it There are several ways to do it but the easiest one is to add catalog files (*.CAT) from these updates to UR2 which will make WU not ask about them.

Windows2000-KB919521-x86-Global.exe (467 KB) I made an update for KB919521 (KB Article). It fixes an issue with dual-core (and HT) CPU abnormal temperature. It's just one registry entry but by having it as an update you can easilty slipstream it through HF folder. Please read this topic if you want more details about this problem. KB919521 is included in Update Rollup 2.

As you've already seen, UR2 is already available to download and I'm working now on the "v2" version of it. The point of it is to add WMP6.4 security updates (they MUST be installed regardless of whether you use WMP or not), a GDI+ update and MDAC 2.53. I had to do some nasty work modyfing the 'date' of MDAC related DLLs in order to make it compatible with HFSLIP. HFSLIP uses xcopy when it copies files which means that only newer files get copied. Newer means 'newer date', not 'file version'. The problem with MDAC is that some of the 2.53 files are newer than those from 2.8... so if both MDAC 2.53 updates and MDAC 2.8 files are present in HF at the same time, HFSLIP will copy those from 2.53. I had to change the date of those files from 2.53 to 'make' them older than the files from 2.8 Of course this problem is related only to a situation when you want to slipstream UR2-v2 (with MDAC2.53 update included) and MDAC 2.8 at the same time. Anyway, I think I managed to fix it - all files of MDAC 2.8 are slipstreamed correctly after having fixed the dates of the 2.53's DLLs. On the other hand, when installing the update normally the date doesn't matter at all because MS update mechanism checks file versions and copies only newer files (generally this is true... although it can be changed in update.inf to force copying specific files even if they are older).

Yes and no WMP9, MDAC2.8, .NET Framework etc. are not included in UR2 so if you install WMP9 after UR2, the updates for it will be shown in WU. But generally speaking you're right. No new (released after July 2010) updates appear in WU, even for those system components that are still getting new updates (ex. .NET Framework). If you install newer .NET updates, you should turn WU off as it will still ask for the older, replaced ones. The same case is with the unofficial W2k updates. That's why I didn't include any WU related updates in UR2 - WU doesn't have any real use today. EDIT This is how WU should look like after installing UR2-v2 (WMP9, DX9, newer >2.53 MDAC not installed) Only 5 updates are offered to download. KB908531 - not recommended (Verclsid.exe), see bristols for details KB944338, KB971961, KB981350 - Script 5.6 updates, it's because I installed IE6 with Script 5.6 before UR2 (UR2 installs only a Script 5.1 update) KB979683 - kernel update, buggy (check first post) UR2-v2 is being tested at this moment. I added WMP6.4 security updates, MDAC2.53 SP3 and a GDI+ update.

Just one information - BITS 2.0 is not installed by this Rollup. Other Windows Update related updates are also not installed. If you still want to use WU you should install them manually.

Thanks for letting us know I hope you're back in a short time. There was a lot of useful information at your forum.

2KDNF11SP1.exe is a switchless installer for .NET 1.1 (+updates) only. Did you use the other one for .NET 2.0 too? How does your HFSVCPACK folder look like?

Well, I want to make a new version... but not now I stopped using HBRs myself because of the stability issues. You can say that the development of this Rollup is suspended. I'll probably make a new version in the future but it's more likely to be after a few months than weeks. Sorry

Just to make everything clear - BlackWingCat's Japanese Rollup has no connection with my Update Rollup 2. It's much more comprehensive, apart from MS updates includes also many other components, and CANNOT be slipstreamed.

I added the Italian version.

UR1 is included I fixed the description. If using HFSLIP it should go like this -> SP4 (if not already slipstreamed), UR2, other updates (WMP, DX9, newer Script, MDAC, etc.). As for Kurt_Aust's guide, I know it but it's much more comprehensive than my work now. At the moment I'm concentrated on MS-style updates / update rollups while Kurt includes everything in his guide - from updates to applications. I haven't really thought about including non-MS applications in my projects... yet I'll have to think more about it. Still UR2.0 is going to include only official updates. There will an upgraded version later on - I want to add a MDAC 2.53 update and WMP6.4 security updates. UR2.1 will include more things but it's still in the planning stage now.

Update Rollup 2 for Windows 2000 is ready

DOWNLOAD

This project has been discontinued. Please check the Unofficial SP 5.2 for Windows 2000 thread for more information.

Does anyone know what happened to this site? It doesn't seem to work anymore...

UR2 is practically ready to be 'distributed'. The only work that must be finished is translating the readme files (being done now) for localised versions. There will be three - English, Polish and Italian. As for the topic and Win2k board - I think this is the best sub-forum for this kind of project It's closely connected with the work that Gurgelmeyer did a few years ago, and everything can be kept in one place. To 'kill the time' (not really but I as I've been focused only on UR2 for some time I wanted to try sth different) I tried to unpack the official .NET Framework 3.5 installer and see what the problem with Win2k is. So far it seems that everything is Windows 2000 compatible but MS blocked Win2k intentionally. There is sth like this in it After changing it to 1 the installer seems to work normally... Anyway, I need to do more tests. edit It seems to be more complicated than I thought initially. I think I know what must be done but it shall take a lot of time... I'll just leave it for now.

HFVER 0.0.3 (41.97 KB) There was a bug in all previous versions which caused file versions being reported incorrectly. It's fixed now (getver.exe was changed for filever.exe). The new version looks like this: - - - - - empty.cat W32i DLL ENU 5.0.2195.6882 shp hidclass.sys W32i DLL ENU 5.0.2195.6882 shp openhci.sys W32i DLL PLK 5.4.15.0 shp spmsg.dll W32i APP PLK 5.4.15.0 shp spuninst.exe W32i DLL ENU 5.0.2195.6882 shp uhcd.sys - - - - - [update] - - - - - usb.inf W32i DLL - 5.0.2195.6935 shp usbd.sys W32i DLL ENU 5.0.2195.6882 shp usbehci.sys W32i DLL ENU 5.0.2195.6891 shp usbhub20.sys W32i DLL ENU 5.0.2195.6926 shp usbport.sys // // File Checksum Integrity Verifier version 2.05. // b1035a2e505af840eaaa5ed685d072d6 temp\hf\empty.cat 54d91404ab0c7fc5f0863cec330a9017 temp\hf\hidclass.sys 8cdeeebad20f68a209f433f1293a4d0d temp\hf\openhci.sys 8c10d4f0673ff0ab051bfa8a2b0cc813 temp\hf\spmsg.dll a7591bfe53d21355153fa829e8a7626a temp\hf\spuninst.exe 57dbeec483000d511c6d44e20f3f4c0c temp\hf\uhcd.sys 8130349eaecd2f9fdbecca51b41666e4 temp\hf\usb.inf 9b26fe215d06dbe32f8849de724bf89d temp\hf\usbd.sys 38f3beeb29b93493bda439942a13ad19 temp\hf\usbehci.sys e5ffbc29b394e30cc73a268e2931e5d9 temp\hf\usbhub20.sys 298e3eac4f707798c9f4c993c3dd1a49 temp\hf\usbport.sys

Please read once again which folder you should use

I think it does

Windows2000-KB894395-x86-Global.exe This is an old official update which normally is available only in a few language versions so I made a multilanguage one

Update Rollup 2.0 RTM Windows2000-KB891861-UR2-RTM-x86-ENU.exe (49.06 MB, pass: msfn) UR2.0 will be officially available in a very short time. UR2.1 will include .NET 1.1,2.0 & 3.5. It'll also include MS VC++ 2005, 2008 & 2010.
