need all post XP sp2 updates

[Zxian]

@maf - If you're looking for just the updates, the ones listed by WUD (which correspond to those needed by a bare XP-SP2 system) as "critical updates" come out to 108MB. AutoPatcher's May Core update alone is over 300MB, and then you need the update packs as well.

I understand that it has pretty much every update under the sun, but most people don't bother with the recommended updates.

i would suggest using

for an update package (8-15-07). Edited August 28, 2007 by Grinchy

I do...

Looks like AutoPatcher has been given a Cease & Desist. Hopefully WUD won't since it actually downloads the updates from Microsoft's site.

I sure as h... hope not,as I'm on a slow Dialup connection.I've been downloading critical updates to a CD/DVD (As time permits) for use later when I re-install my XP Pro Os.Funny,I was under the impression that these WUD's were kept on jsCarles site !

As a test,I tried to install some of the ones I already downloaded on my CD,but it seems to only want to install one at a time(Clicking each one individually) ! that kind of defeats the purpose of saving hours in

my estimation.Can I not do this simply without having to resort to nLite,unattended xp ...and the like?

I think you misunderstand how WUD works. WUD Update Lists have a list of URL's for the actual download locations of the hotfixes from Microsoft's website.

Once you've downloaded them, you can integrate them either using a batch file, or by integrating them with nLite. I use nLite to integrate hotfixes and drivers, but I don't use it to remove anything from Windows. Just because you can doesn't mean you have to.

Hi Zxian,

Thanks for the quick response.

Q:I think you misunderstand how WUD works. WUD Update Lists have a list of URL's for the actual download locations of the hotfixes from Microsoft's website.

Understood,I had thought that jsCarle had downloaded all these fixes and parked them on his Website.

Q:Once you've downloaded them, you can integrate them either using a batch file, or by integrating them with nLite

As I indicated before I'm slowly Downloading all th updates on a CD,for future use when I re-install my Win XP Pro OS (I'm Posting all this on our Win 98 computer,as my Win XP is F...up).So,can you confirm that,once I have them all on a CD,I can then integrate the whole thing with nLite?

I'd love to use nLite to integrate hotfixes,drivers,applications etc...but i've yet to learn how to create a batch file and to use it successfully.Thanks again.

Why waste bandwidth when Microsoft has it to spare.

Yes, you can integrate all* the hotfixes with nLite. It's one of the options actually.

You can integrate the hotfixes by using nLite or using a batch file. You don't need both.

Hope this helps.
