color 0f is white on black background

0 = black

f = white

go into a cmd prompt and type it and you'll see the difference.

play around with the command to have "fun" Don't know where you can get a listing of colors.

@WwTIPPYwW: To get back on target ... I have only managed successfly post install, i.e. RunOnceEx in my case (GuiRunOnce, RunOnce, are also fine). Both SVCPACK.INF and CMDLINES.TXT seem to not work,

so i did the install like bonedaddy say's and it workt

put the update in $OEM$\$1\install\hotfixes

edit in my case this:

@echo off

ECHO.

color 1e

ECHO Installing Q817787 for Windows Media Player 8

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\hotfixes\Q817787.EXE /Q:A /R:N

ECHO.

ECHO Installing Q832483 MDAC function could allow code execution

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\hotfixes\NLD_Q832483_MDAC_x86.EXE /C:"dahotfix.exe /q /n" /q

ECHO.

ECHO Installing Q817778 Advanced Networking Pack

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\hotfixes\Q817778.exe /Q /O /N /Z

ECHO.

ECHO Installing DirectX 90 Security Update

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\hotfixes\DirectX90-KB839643-x86-NLD.exe /quiet /norestart

ECHO.

ECHO PC Herstarten over 5 minuten

shutdown.exe -r -f -t 300 -c "Systeem zal afsluiten na 5 minuten om de updates bij te werken"

EXIT

and edit this in winnt.sif:

[GuiRunOnce]

%systemdrive%\install\hotfixes\hotfixes.cmd

i cant confirm for windows updates(dunno how to virtualy make a network in vmware )

so if someone would post it if this way works please do

btw nice color bonedaddy 1e

I think Bonedaddy already confirmed that method ... however, if anyone get's it running from either SVCPACK.INF, or CMDLINES.TXT, in otherwords BEFORE setup finishes and reboots, I would like to know how ...

maybe this is something like the mdac update and cant be installed from

SVCPACK.INF, or CMDLINES.TXT

btw i try'd everything to, this is the only way it works(for now)

i got time tomorrow i believe.....

perhaps tonight, maybe not....

I shall do some testing.....

Verifying Update Installation

You may be able to verify the files that this security update has installed by reviewing the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\DirectX\DX9\SP1\KB839643-DirectX9

Note This registry key may not be created correctly when an administrator or an OEM integrates or slipstreams the 839643 security update into the Windows installation source files.

From microsoft technet

or here

You may also be able to verify the files that this security update has installed by reviewing the following registry keys:

For Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 1, Windows XP Professional Service Pack 1, Windows XP 64-Bit Edition Service Pack 1, Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, and Windows XP Media Center Edition:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows XP\SP2\KB839643\Filelist

So much for taking security seriously.

Adding q839643 to win2000 works without a problem, adding this to svcpack.inf:

[ProductCatalogsToInstall]
Q839643.cat

[SetupHotfixesToRun]
Q839643.EXE /Q /O /N /Z

and compressing/adding dplayx.dl_ and dpwsockx.dl_ to the i386 folder, so it should work without a problem with xpcreate, greenmachine... This is with directx9 installed unattended via svcpack. I used the DirectX90-KB839643-x86-.....exe

Using the same method for winXP does not work however, niether does the "normal" method, just adding Q839643.EXE /Q /O /N /Z to svcpack.inf.

OK, you caught me: I didn't specify my OS!

So, if anyone get's it running from either SVCPACK.INF, or CMDLINES.TXT in WINDOWS XP, in otherwords BEFORE setup finishes and reboots, I would like to know how ...

Strange thing, in both instances I install DX9, then the CORRECT update. 2K is fine, XP isn't. I'll try 2K3 tonight.

OK, you caught me: I didn't specify my OS!

hehe.. can't be to clear about anything....

I'll try 2K3 tonight.

I've tried 2k3 with WindowsServer2003-KB839643-x86-XXX.EXE and it works great using Q839643.EXE /Q /O /N /Z in svcpack.inf. For me there is no point installing directx9 on a server...
