I have in my possession a cdrom made by Microsoft back in February 2004

SECURITY UPDATE CD

"Install Important Security Updates for your Microsoft Windows-based PC"

It works on Win 98 /98SE / ME / 2000 / XP

It was designed to automatically update your PC to be up-to-date with all the critical updates up until Feb 2004.

On Windows 98SE for example it installs Internet Explorer 6 SP1, DirectX 9.0b, Windows Media Player 9 and all the Windows Hotfixes. It also automatically restarts the computer when required etc etc. I stress it is fully automated.

This makes me wonder if this would be a good platform to modify to create a newer version of this update that installs IE6, DirectX 9.0c, WMP9 and the official and unofficial hotfixes etc.

I have included a link to a demo package highlighting the contents of the CD, its inf's and setup files etc but with dummy hotfix and update files (0 byte size) so others can use this as a basis for future projects or learn more about Windows inf commands.

This is a beautiful find i hope someone will update it

it would be nice to just have a flawless system on a clean install

one reboot and have your system up to date.

In the Windows 98SE folder the inf file WSEresume.inf lists:

Could these be simply replaced with GAPES Service Pack and Unofficial Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 Component Update or don't these files support Microsofts update process?
