Hotfixes Installation svcpack.inf Method

[vurkonis]

Greetings all,

I'm trying to install these hotfixes via svcpack.inf method. After a full unattended installon the PC, manually I

install MS Baseline Analyser to determine which hotfixes are installed.

The hotfixes with the switches, /Q /O /N /Z, are the previous entries in the svcpack.inf file. Currently, these

hotfixes install fine, like KB901190.exe /Q /O /N /Z and KB923789.exe /Q:A /R:N.

The problem lies with the new entries in my file, the hotfixes with the switches,

/Q /N /Z

/Q

/passive /norestart /quiet

At present these hotfixes do not install at all.

As an example, KB928255.exe /Q /N /Z, and KB928843.exe /passive /norestart /quiet as well as KB941569.exe /Q /N /Z

do not install at all.

For the problematic hotfixes, I used the switches as displayed on:

http://www.msfn.org/board/HOTFIXES-Win2000...SP2-t86450.html

I cant see where my error is. The hotfixes have been named properly and are all present and accounted for in the I386\SVCPACK folder.

Are the switches for the newer entries, case-sensitive at all?

If not, please assist me as to where my error lies.

Content of svcpack.inf file is listed below.

Any threats, flames are welcome as well.

Thanks in advance.

Well I took a look at my SVCPACK.INF and i do see that KB941569.EXE is there

and I also noticed that all the switched are in lower case.

I also saw that I have a .CAT under [ProductCatalogsToInstall] file for every Hotfix that is installed

In my case I did not modified the SVCPAK.INF file myself....

I just did a /integrate for all the Hotfixes

ie. : KB941569.EXE /integrate:C:\WinXP

So I'm not sure if its becasue the switches are case sensitive, or because you need the .CAT files also

[vurkonis]

Much thanks to Buhric for the advice, the integrate/ procedure seemed to work.

It seems that there are some hotfixes like the ones below that should be slipstreamed using the /integrate switch:

KB918118.exe

KB921503.exe

KB924667.exe

KB925902.exe

KB926436.exe

KB927779.exe

KB927802.exe

KB928255.exe

KB928843.exe

KB929123.exe

KB930178.exe

KB931261.exe

KB931784.exe

KB932168.exe

KB933729.exe

KB935839.exe

KB935840.exe

KB936021.exe

KB936782.exe

KB937894.exe

KB938127.exe

KB938829.exe

KB941202.exe

KB941568.exe

KB941569.exe

KB941644.exe

KB942615.exe

KB943460.exe

KB943485.exe

KB944653.exe

Hotfixes before these ones, could be slipstreamed via SVCPACK.INF.

However, this did not slipstream KB936782.exe. Not sure why though, but will try again, and post back.

Some Kb's require some extra work.

How to slipstream hotfixes that replace pre-existing driver files

Nlite does this currently btw.
