[silent install of XVID codec (XVID_Install)]

This is sorta late, but I just wanted to thank Rahbas for dropping the 411 on how to include the KaZaA Lite codec pack in the silent install.

THANKS MAN!

[Hotfixes For Windows XP Professional SP1]

Perfect.

I checked it out and my "update.exe" in "common", and it's attributes matched up perfectly with your "update.exe" in "sp2".

I should have thought of doing that a long time ago. Thanks.

[Hotfixes For Windows XP Professional SP1]

Didn't realize you'd already had read through the link - but when I run the patch as implied there, under the "update" folder under SP2, I have the following files :

eula.txt, KB826939.cat, spcustom.dll, update.exe, update.inf, update.ver

Man, that's wierd - under my "update" folder (the one with the wierd name):

In the "sp2/update" folder I have:

• KB826939.cat
  
• update.inf
  
• update.ver
  

In the "common" folder I have:

• spuninst.exe
  
• update.exe
  
• spcustom.dll
  
• spmsg.dll
  
• Eula.txt
  

I wonder how that happened.

Is it ok to use update.exe from the common directory?

[ CAN'T FIND UPDATE.EXE IN "XPCD\i386\Update" ]

I was following the "Creating an Unattended Windows XP CD" guide and got to the section "Installing the Hotfixes" when I noticed that in the sample code for "XPCD\i386\svcpack.inf" (under [setupHotfixesToRun]), a file named "update.exe" is called from "XPCD\i386\Update\".

The only things I have in that directory are the hotfixes I downloaded to be installed - none of which are named update.exe (all file names begin with Q and are followed by a 6-digit number [QXXXXXX.exe])

What is "update.exe" and where can I get it? Did I miss something?

Thanks, but that doesn't help much, as I have already used that guide to slipstream the hotfix rollup. After opening "WindowsXP-KB826939-x86-ENU.exe", within the strangely-named folder that it extracts to, "sp2\update" contains only the following three files:

• KB826939.cat
  
• update.inf
  
• update.ver
  

Are you talking about "update.exe" within the "common" directory?

If not, could someone explicitly answer my question?

[ LISTING UPDATES IN "SVCPACK.INF" IN NUMERICAL ORDER ]

In the same section mentioned above (Installing the Hotfixes) in the 7th paragraph:

The entries shown in [setupHotfixesToRun]are just an example. All the hotfixes you have downloaded, renamed and copied to the Update folder should be added under this section in svcpack.inf, in numerical order.

it stresses that the updates must be listed in numerical order, yet no one else's code for "svcpack.inf" that I saw in the forum, listed them in numerical order. IS IT NECESSARY?

[silent install of XVID codec (XVID_Install)]

Thanks for the advice HexiumVII. It was able to play things I couldn't play before.

Is there any way to add the K-Lite Codec Pack (v2.10) to the unattended install?

[Making custom cd's, windows PE, and unattended ins]

I second that!

All in favor.....

PRELUDE OF APPRECIATION

[What's up, brethren? Being a newbie, i want to first extend my obligatory gratitude for not only the guide on "Creating an Unattended Windows XP CD" but for the MSFN in general (as I am just beginning to appreciate the overall depth of the site).]

ACTUAL QUESTION:

Will slipstreaming the Update Rollup 1 (KB826939) into Windows XP SP1 alleviate the need to install any of the hotfixes mentioned in the main list? If so (which I assume), which ones?
