tomasz86 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 @conductor71There's no simple answer to your question Simply speaking, there exist several different ways how you can update your system. If you don't want to mess around too much then I'd recommend choosing one of the following two methods. I'm assuming that you've already installed everything available from M$ (WU):1) Install Update Rollup 2 + UURollup (ENU). By doing this you will have almost all official updates & hotfixes and almost all unofficial updates installed. The current version of UURollup (ENU) utilises the extended kernel from WildBill although the next one is likely to use the BlackWingCat's version.2) Install Update Rollup 2 + UURollup (Global) + BlackWingCat's kernel. By doing this you will have almost all official updates & hotfixes installed but you will miss most of the unofficial updates which aren't related to the kernel (you can still install them one by one manually). BlackWingCat's kernel is more advanced than the WildBill's one at the moment.Please take into account the fact that this is a very simplified guideline which doesn't cover other packages like .NET Framework, etc. but it may be good for you to begin with.

Yffffonz Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 @tomasz86..Will you will post here when the next version of UURollup (ENU) is released (that uses BlackWingCat's kernel)? I think that will be the breakpoint to take the plunge and install Update Rollup2 + UURollup (ENU). is there any issue in installing those two now and then wanting to use the next updated UURollup (ENU) when you release it? i.e. needing to or the ability to uninstall the current version of UURollup (ENU) in order to use a release with BlackWingCat's kernel (assuming it is in the next version as you suggest). or will the updated version conceivably replace the necessary files such that BWC's kernal is used? Does this make sense?Thanks again for your work on the SP5.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomasz86 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) @Yffffonz1. If nothing unexpected happens then the next version of UURollup with BWC kernel will be probably released on 30th September 2012. A detailed release plan of UURollup is explained in the very beginning of the main USP5.2 topic. Of course, Daily & Weekly versions will be available much earlier.2. At the moment UURollup (ENU) is incompatible with BWC kernel. If you install the two together then the system will likely not start (but safe mode should work). Only UURollup (Global) can be used with BWC kernel, and of course Update Rollup 2 is also compatible with BWC kernel.3. I've always been testing installation over the previous version of UURollup so it shouldn't be a problem to just leave the old one and install the new one over it. Uninstallation is actually pretty risky, especially if you've installed other updates/programs in meantime. When the new version using BWC kernel is ready it should be also possible to install it over BWC kernel but I can't guarantee that yet.

erpdude8 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 same issue with Java 6u33. It did not get fixed.@BlackWingCat et al, is there a workaround for installing the Java 6 updates on Windows 2000?The problem might be that this bug might not even get fixed as Java 6 will hit EOL sometime this November. So far, no one has even voted for that bug. same problem when trying to install Java 6 Update 35, the newest release of Java 6, but I think this one is worse than previous releases.

ppgrainbow Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) Do you have the English language version of the Java 6 Update 37 package that can be installed without the extended kernel or the UURollup? If so, let me know.I'm testing Java 6 Update 37 in a Win2K VMware VM and it still fails to install! Edited October 17, 2012 by ppgrainbow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
