I don't know if this will beat the whole purpose for u, but i was wondering if you could choose which hotfixes, updates u wanted to install. Some things like the journal viewer, i'll never use... there could be a custom option, or simply select all i usually just install service packs but i wouldn't mind installing some hotfixes using xpcreate, but certain updates i just don't want plz tell me if u like this idea or if you don't see that your program should have this option at all
