I just did an update on my recently installed Windows XP Pro, swedish version, and the url to KB905474 in WindowsUpdate.log is: http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/windowsxp-kb905474-enu-x86_e69cdc796b5c5094328c5cef5374f70948a40446.exe Hope this helps. It says 'enu' in this link too, so I guess it's language independent? EDIT: Just out of curiosity I changed my key to a non-valid one and all the messages about 'not a genuine copy' are in swedish, so I can confirm it's language independent.

Well, I don't know exactly what it does, only that it contains a unique UUIDREF. My guess is that it tells what Windows version it is, but I don't know.... There is no reference to that file in txtsetup.sif, and there is no such file in the Windows folder when setup is complete, so I guess it just tells what cd/os version it is? Only guessing here, though.

Try to add this: [Unattended] UnattendSwitch=Yes And I think you should remove your ProductID from your first post.

Sorry for the late reply. I compared i386 and subfolders with WinDiff.exe located in \support\tools\support.cab of the cd. All the filenames are the same, and all the files are the same except that the eula.txt and the os-marker mdmssys.in_ have different content. Fact is that you could use the Windows Server 2003 SP1 CD with a R2 key, and it would install R2 (ask for CD2 after first login).

Yes, you have some great files RyanVM, thank you. I'm using a localized os, though...

KB886903.exe /Q KB873374 is the only 'Type 2' hotfix I've got.

Noone that have the same problem with KB911565? Anyone managed to succesfully install both WMP10 and KB911565 through svcpack.inf, without using RunOnceEx?

You need to copy the reg.exe found in deploy.cab from the folder support/tools on your Windows 2000 CD to your \winnt or \winnt\system32 directory during install. The syntax REG ADD depends on that (REG.EXE ADD....) and it is not included by default in Win2k. Windows 2000 supports installation through RunOnceEx, don't worry about that. Adding the keys to RunOnceEx via batch files is not supported unless you copy the reg.exe as described above. You cannot use WIN51IP.SP2 as a marker file since it is specific for Win XP Pro SP2, use CDROM_IP.5 or any other Win2k specific file found in the root of the cd. (CDROM_NT.5 or maybe CDROMSP4.TST) Hope this helps you on the way.

Try using one AddReg like this: [DefaultInstall] AddReg = AddReg.Tour,AddReg.SecretLogging and maybe use quotes in your lines: HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Tour","RunCount",0x00010001,"0" Other than that it look ok to me. EDIT: Have a look at this site, it has a lot of good information and samples about inf-files: http://gosh.msfnhosting.com/

I install MP10 with this line as the first [setupHotfixesToRun] in svcpack.inf: "MPSetup.exe /c:""setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /DisallowSystemRestore"" /q:A" and then I install KB911565 at a later stage in the same svcpack.inf. Installing KB911565 during RunOnceEx after first reboot would work I guess, but I would like to avoid that if it is possible. I'm just keeping an updated image of Windows, without installing any programs, only the OS with hotfixes, MP10 and .NET installed through svcpack.inf.

I'm having some issues with Windows Media Player 10 and KB911565 installing via svcpack.inf. After install, KB911565 shows up in add/remove programs, but WU says it is not installed and wmp.dll is the old version 10.00.00.3802. Anyone with the same problem, and possibly a solution? This is on a swedish version of Windows XP.

I think the only files that differs between r2 and sp1 is eula.txt and mdmssys.in_, both located in the i386 folder.

Your syntax is wrong: ----------------------------------- SystemTools: cls print r "\n\cXXPress \c0BF1 \cXXfor Help \n" print c "\n\cXXSystem-Tools \n" print c "& #092;c092ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Ä ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ \n\n" print "1) Hard Disk Utilities \n" print "2) Filesystem Utilities \n" print "3) Memory Utilities \n" print "4) Linux Utilities \n" print "5) Others \n" print c "\n\n" print "Press any key to return to main menu... \n" ST_Key: getkey 20 goto menu if $lastKey == key[1]; then goto SystemTools_HDD if $lastKey == key[2]; then goto SystemTools_Filesystem if $lastKey == key[3]; then goto SystemTools_Memory if $lastKey == key[4]; then goto SystemTools_Linux if $lastKey == key[5]; then goto SystemTools_Others if $lastKey == key[F1]; then goto Help goto menu ----------------------------------- Should be: ----------------------------------- SystemTools: cls print r "\n\cXXPress \c0BF1 \cXXfor Help \n" print c "\n\cXXSystem-Tools \n" print c "& #092;c092ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Ä ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ \n\n" print "1) Hard Disk Utilities \n" print "2) Filesystem Utilities \n" print "3) Memory Utilities \n" print "4) Linux Utilities \n" print "5) Others \n" print c "\n\n" print "Press any key to return to main menu... \n" ST_Key: getkey 20 goto SystemTools if $lastKey == key[1]; then goto SystemTools_HDD if $lastKey == key[2]; then goto SystemTools_Filesystem if $lastKey == key[3]; then goto SystemTools_Memory if $lastKey == key[4]; then goto SystemTools_Linux if $lastKey == key[5]; then goto SystemTools_Others if $lastKey == key[F1]; then goto Help goto SystemTools ----------------------------------- In your goto's your refer to 'menu', but you have no section called 'menu'... Your sections are called SystemTools, SystemTools_HDD, SystemTools_Filesystem, SystemTools_Memory, SystemTools_Linux and SystemTools_Others. Replace goto menu with goto SystemTools, goto SystemTools_HDD and so on and you should be fine.

So there is no way to install the whole suite just using the 'install studio 8.exe' on cd1?

Thank you for answering, hulk. So far I've managed without batchfiles, and I don't install anything through RunOnceEx. I just like to have the OS updated. But I guess I'll have to look into the RunOnceEx thing.

Anyone else having problem with Windows 2000 Servicepack 4 and KB904706? I install DirectX 9.0c, IE6 and all hotfixes, including 904706, through svcpack.inf, but 904706 still shows up in Windows Update? I install the hotfix for 9.0c found here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en Tried changing the order of install in svcpack.inf, before or after rollup1, but no luck... Any help/clues would be appreciated. Thanx.

They are listed now: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/current.aspx

After updating mine is 63C08887-00BE-4C9B-9EFC-4B9407EF0C4C

Nope, that is not possible. Unlike TabletPC there is no vlk for mce. The installation of mce is dependent of the pid, and as there is no vlk pid for mce it will not work. p.s I think it might be against the rules asking for this....

And here is the webpage quoted, with a freeware tool.

They announced an 'important' update a few days ago... turns outs its only for Win2k. No new updates for WinXP, except the updated KB890830.

I don't understand why this would be illegal? If I want to upgrade my preinstalled OEM Home version with a bought Retail Pro version, I'm not allowed to do that?!? Weird.... Or am I missing something here?
