Jazz Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Well so finally whats the answer ? i'm using nlite for removing junk outta my sources..Bye,Jazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 i would say use XPCreate first. One of teh hotfixes might add something back in, that you had already taken out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swampy Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 I tested running nlite before and after XPCREATE, both ended up the same, missing KB828741, KB835732 & Update Rollup 1 KB826939.Forget it.As GreenMachine keeps saying, always use a clean source for XPCREATE.I haven't said thanks yet, but thanks GM, XPCREATE is phantasmagorical!The only bugs I've seen have been XPCREATED by me:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimSage Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 I suggest reduce then xpcreate. that way hotfixes dont get accidentally removed...The big question is... Why does windows update think the hotfixes are needed but MBSA does not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarquel Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Maybe Microsoft need to update the engine behind Windows Update ...just a thought when msba was updated alot more recently than WU...N. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 I suggest reduce then xpcreate. that way hotfixes dont get accidentally removed...The big question is... Why does windows update think the hotfixes are needed but MBSA does not?maybe it's just me, but no one bothers to search. I've posted before why a few will show up after reducing source. They rely on components. I've also posted in the nLite thread why WU thinks they aren't there, while MBSA thinks they are.I suggest, XPCREATE then REDUCE. That way you have an updated source, and then it's removed. If the component is removed by REDUCE, then it won't get updated. But if removed first, XPCREATE doesn't know that, so it adds the files back, and then they are registered during setup and errors can arise depending on what it is.

GreenMachine Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 I don't know if anyone has ever looked, but my I386\SVCPACK directory gets pretty heavy. I do also add files from the hotfixes that may be unbeknownst to the various sliming procedures. If anyone is interested, they are listed at the end of the TXTSETUP.SIF file.
