Selecting what Hotfixes

[i3ulldog]

How do I select what updates I want integrated? I don't want every single one integrated since some of the stuff I don't use.

There are two possibilities:

1) Just install XPCREATE and go through the process of automatic downloading one time and then set DLAUTO=NO in XPCREATE.INI

Then look into the various subdirectories SVC* and just delete the hotfixes you do not want to be installed/integrated into your cd.

2) Just install XPCREATE and download all your desired hotfixes and sort them according to Greenmachine's instructions on his website and set DLAUTO=NO in XPCREATE.INI

Then run XPCREATE to create your cd.

So in short terms: The key for controlling auto downloading is

DLAUTO=NO

in XPCREATE.INI

If set to NO you have to download and sort in every hotfix by your own.

HINT:

I recommand to integrate all hotfixes as listed in Greenmachine's "Fail Safe List" as without them your system may be not protected against all possible attacs.

Isn't the web site's fail-safe list out of date now that SP2 is out?

[Wraith]

Not when there are people that stay with SP1 until they know SP2 is working with all their programs.

Sometimes it's better to be safe than sorry.

Besides, the "failsafe" list for SP2 should be pretty much the same, minus all the hotfixes.

And after I say it, I check GM's site.

Well, whaddya know.

Surprise, surprise! Current Hotfixes has been updated on the site!

Hiya Wraith!
