xpJohnson Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Hi all, I am just learning about this unattended stuff and have been reading all of the post here but cant find a good guide or tutorial on how to manually integrate a hotfix. I have looked at ryanvm, nlite, and even xable but want to know how these are integrated. I can see that you extract the KBxxxxxx.exe, put the .cat in svcpack, but after that then what? I noticed you have to add the registry stuff somewhere and then there is the .dll that seems to go into driver.cab or the root folder. I even looked at the home page of this site but it seems outdated and not detailed. Is there a link or post here that gets into the details?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin H Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Download HFSLIP and read through the source-code(standard CMD-syntax).Also, you can download Ryan or Xable's update-packs and then extract them and check out the contents...The updated binaries of the updates should overwrite the outdated ones in the source.If the binaries aren't allready in the source, then entries should be made for the new binaries in txsetup.sif and layout.inf(dosnet.inf for non-CD installs).The catalog files are moved to SVCPACK folder and referenced in svcpack.inf to be copied over at install time.Each update's inf file should then be analysed, and the relevant AddReg sections should be copied out and either injected into the HIVE files, or into a custom inf file which is set to be installed at install time, and also any relevant post-install commands from the update's inf files should also be run at install time from e.g. a custom inf...

xpJohnson Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 I already did look at Ryan and Xable and needed a little more explanation. I am looking at the HF and that is extensive and think I can go from there. You also seem to sum up what needs to be done. Thanks for you help.
