I'm getting this error when trying to run the program.

New fixed and improved version of IE / OE Mini Rollup is up. It's possible to make other language versions too so please ask if you would like to have it in your language At this moment English and Polish versions are available.

I uploaded the new fixed & improved version. All bugs are fixed and the update.inf has been slimmed down as I removed all duplicate entries. There are actually two versions now - ver. 1 and ver. 1.1. The difference is that ver. 1 contains only official updates while ver. 1.1 installs both official & unofficial updates. I edited the first two posts so please read the explanation there. I removed the KB number as it's useless and may be confusing for some people. I believe the new filename should be clearer. I also made a Polish language version for ver. 1 and I have a proposition for you I can make other language versions as well but first I need to know if there are ANY people interested in it. Please post here if you would like to have this Rollup in your language. It's very easy to make a localised version of it so even 1 person is enough Of course I'm talking only about localisation of MR 1 as the two unofficial updates are not available in other languages (so can't make localised Rollup 1.1 unfortunately).

Would such program not work under Win2k?

Should I not? Alternatively you can say it's just a one big project called "Let's keep Windows 2000 alive!".

Most of them are in my signature except of these also several unofficial updates for Win2k...

Thank you very much for your interest. Don't worry and just take your time It's better not to be too hasty when doing these things (as I experienced myself when doing some of my projects...).

I think I found a solution. Initially I based the method of adding registry entries according to the IE version on the one that BlackWingCat used in his Security Rollup (JPN only). I thought that if he's used it in his Rollup, then everything would be O.K... but it proved that there is a flaw in that method. While all files were indeed copied properly (IE5 files if IE5 installed, IE6 files if IE6 installed, etc.), the registry entries for each version of IE/OE were not added at all! I had to add one section to the update.inf file which I found out about when analysing the update.inf from Update Rollup 1 (official). This is just technical information for anyone interested in modyfing updates The old one was like this (just a part of update.inf) [ProductInstall.Conditional] FileCondition=IE5.Condition FileCondition=OE5.Condition FileCondition=IE6.Condition FileCondition=OE6.Condition [IE6.Condition] InstallFromSection=IE6.Section Operation=CheckFileVer, browseui.dll, >=, 6.0.0.0 TargetFromSection=System32.Files CopyFlags=SP_COPY_FORCE_NEWER [IE6.Section] AddReg=IE6.AddReg DelReg=IE6.DelReg CopyFiles=IE6.System32.Files, IE6.Cache.Files, IE6.VGX.Files CopyFlags=SP_COPY_NEWER_OR_SAME | SP_COPY_REPLACEONLY but this is not enough to have the "AddReg" and "DelReg" sections properly processed. An another section must be added: [Register.Include] RegCondition=IE5.Condition RegCondition=OE5.Condition RegCondition=IE6.Condition RegCondition=OE6.Condition Only after adding these strings the registry entries are 'activated'.

I found a bug. Some registry entries are not added (while system files are copied properly). I need to do some more tests to find the cause of this behaviour. For now I've blocked the downloading until I fix this problem. If anyone has already installed/slipstreamed this Rollup you should just install the updates listed above over it. I'm very sorry for inconvenience

brutus1234, I'm getting finished with the basic version of Update Rollup 2 for Win2k... would you perhaps be interested in making the Italian version too? The only thing you would have to do its to supply me (upload somewhere) an archive with Italian language updates (official updates only). It's just too time consuming for me to download them one by one. If you do it for me, then it's very easy to make an Italian version of the Rollup. Please answer if you're interested. I'll give you a list of updates that are needed (around 90 files).

Yes, I downloaded and checked all tools mentioned in this topic but I don't really know how I could use FEDIT when merging these files :/ Here is an example (fragments only as full update.inf files are very long) Full update.inf files here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/y4nklybw4mbuog1/update.infs_to_merge.7z 1.inf 2.inf

Actually there was something wrong with my system, not with the script I reinstalled everything any now FILEVER.VBS seems to work as it is. I also found a use for dencorso's yanklines script to remove duplicates from update.ver. The real problem is update.inf. What has to be done is to merge everything according to headings in each update.inf file and then remove duplicates but only under the same heading. I don't know how to do it yet If I use yanklines for the whole update.inf, all duplicates are indeed removed but some identical lines must exist under different headings - yanklines removes all of them At this moment I just use Kdiff3 to merge update.infs as it takes less time than thinking how to prepare a script to do it automatically

Hi everyone I've had this problem for a while and couldn't find any solution for it. At the end I just gave up... but maybe someone knows what to do so I'm asking here for help. The problem is that I want to install and use 2 graphic cards - one integrated (Radeon HD 3000) and one PCI (Matrox G450 Dual-Head). After installing Win2k drivers for both cards (BlackWingCat's unofficial ones for ATI and official ones for Matrox) and restarting the system I am greeted by a message that "the drivers are too old for this system". The point is that they work without any problems under Win2k Professional edition. I also tried using PCI-E Geforce FX 6600 together with the integrated Radeon and it's the same - they both work in Win2k Pro and don't work in Win2k Adv Server. I need to use two cards in order to connect two analog monitors. The integrated one has two connectors but only one analog (the other being DVI-I). GF6600 for PCI-E has D-SUB and DVI-D so I can connect both monitors to it but I have only one PCI-E slot and have a SAS controller plugged in in it. Matrox G450 also has both D-SUB and DVI-D but it's too slow even to play a low quality video I would like to use Matrox for 2D and the integrated one for 3D but the OS won't let me do it :/ Has anyone experienced such a problem?

I've prepared a special folder on MediaFire where I'll upload alpha/beta/RC versions of my projects. Files are password ("msfn") protected. I placed the old UR2-RC2 there and also uploaded the newly-made IE6 Installer for W2K (alpha ver.). Please remember that these files are not finished and (may be) buggy/instable and please read their description before downloading

I want to add one thing about update.ver. As I said before it doesn't seem to play any role but still the file itself MUST be present in the update folder. I also said it could be empty but in reality in MUST have at least the line: [SourceFilesInfo] I hope everything is clear now

I did it. I managed to recompile IE6 cabs to the MS update format For now just IE, not OE. I want to have IE and IE separately and give people a choice (MS doesn't - OE is bundled to IE). New possiblities have been opened: 1. It will be possible to make a fully updated IE6 installer (you can replace the original files with newer ones from IE updates) which means that it's just one .exe file instead of IE6 main .cab files and several updates to it. 2. It should be possible to include such an IE in SP6 or Update Rollup 2.

Really no one has these files saved somewhere? I wanted to use them to integrate IE6 in future UR2 and/or SP6... if no one has them then I'll have to prepare such installers myself :/

You can download any WildBill's update for Windows 2000 and extract update.exe from there. It's the same for 2K/XP. The other way is trying to use updfx021.lzh to patch the update.exe yourself. Update.ver doesn't seem to matter AT ALL. It can be empty and the update still installs/slipstreams fine. The one that matters is update.inf.

I uploaded DirectX 9.0c Full Pack today and I've been slowly analyzing Service Pack's update.inf. It's much more complicated than an update.inf of a normal update or even an update rollup. But before I start doing anything about SP6 I'm going to finish the new Update Rollup 2 - as I already said, this time not cumulative, i.e. it will not include UR1. If I really decide to make an SP6 it will be much easier to add update rollups to it instead of single updates

I made a DirectX 9.0c Full Pack for Windows 2000

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

I've made these switchless installers for .NET 1.1 & 2.0 (including the newest updates) using SNM and haven't experienced any problems

I prepared a Mini Rollup for IE/OE (KB838383). It contains all updates (unofficial too) for IE5/OE5.5 and IE6/OE6 except hotfixes by request.
