hi,

apply DX9.0b(OEM-Version works in svcpack.inf) at first, then search the forum for the 832894-"copy the needed dll's workaround-file" and then 832894.

I don't use a newer WMP and no MM2 so i can't help you there.

hope this helps a bit

PS: I'll attach a copy of my XPlode-XML which is run from svcpack.inf and installs all updates that'll work from svcpack.inf

XPlode.xml

far out.... it was so close, media player gave an error...

then i tried a windows udpate, and it said it was still missing:

832894 - far out... I dloaded the wrong version!!!!!!

832483 - still does not work... trying more ""

819696 - dloaded the unattened direct X install and trying it this time

I also have another problem now, it does not seem to prompt for a password taht I have set in my autologon.reg and useraccts.cmd hmmm further investigation is needed..

I also have another problem now, it does not seem to prompt for a password taht I have set in my autologon.reg and useraccts.cmd hmmm further investigation is needed..

That's probably because you defined the password in the autologon.reg? If you want it to prompt, autologon.reg shouldn't be used

i am talking about after its installed and it does a reboot.

it should then promp you for a password.

ah well its only the direct x update that is not applying now, the other seem to be all working.

hi letmein

did u get killerbee's xml to work

-----------------------------------------------

i am also trying to update my unattended windows xp right now.

i want to update all the hotfixes.

hi,

if you want all updates for WinXP SP1, with DX90b, but without MM2, WM9-codecs and WMP9 then go and look here.

Everything installs fine and nothing shows up on WU.

hope this helps a bit

edit: ofcourse you are free to port it to svcpack.inf or a batch if you want...

Letmein,

I'm trying also to get 832483 working. What was the final command line that you used in svcpack.inf to make setup apply this patch? The double-double quotes didn't work for me.

I just found another thread that says 832483 can't be installed directly from svcpack.inf (which sounds logical). However, the top post says that the syntax can be called out with a batch file in svcpack.inf.

If CreateProcess is being used to spawn these patches at the end of GUI setup don't you need to wrap the call to your batch file with "%windir%\system32\cmd.exe /c [batchfile.cmd]" or can you just put "KB832483.CMD" in svcpack.inf and have it work?

guysmiley,

i think 832483 is the mdac one isnt it?!?

if so this is what i ended up doing:

"MDAC.exe /C:""dahotfix.exe /q /n"" /q:a"

I think i renamed the 832482 to MDAC and used the following command in svcpack.inf

Below is my full svcpack.inf, the last time i tested it the DX9 update and the latest download.ject fix was on the WU list.

I added the download.ject fix in this afternoon, but have not had a chance to test it.

I think I will hold off on integrating patches to SP1 now till XPSP2 is RTM and then just check out the /integrate? switch that SP2 has.

Don't bother struggling with it anymore (for now), dudes.

Slip-stream SP2 into your XP CD - and you're done. WU is perfectly happy.

i give it about 1 month... perhaps less before the first critical update/hotfix comes out for SP2... then everyone will be onto integrating fixes again.

Perfectly right!

But I do hope they release the next hotfix/update as far in the future as possible, that way I can put off some bother.
