Hotfixes For Windows XP Professional SP2

[RyanVM]

edit: okay got it correct now:

cscript.exe is updated from 5.6.0.6626 to 5.6.0.8825

same goes for the rest

still wondering if there is a change log??

SP2 has build 8820, actually.

u're probabaly right

I'm still using 2096 on my current machine (i cannot upgrade the beta so waiting for my new 2.5" 7200rpm hdd and then will be formatting with my new nLite'd sp2 install)

though already installed sp2 rtm on my desktop

right here we go, i have been looking at how to slipstream all the script files and i think i have done it, allthough i cant test it as my cd-rw is broken and my new dvd-rw not delivered yet.

download Windows script 5.6

create this cmd script in the same directory as you downloaded the scripten.exe file and execute it, all being well it should work {i have not found any reference to the cat file anywhere, so without that, just a case of replacing the files

@echo off
echo Please enter the FULL path to your i386 folder
echo example c:\xpcd\i386
set /p LOC=Path:
echo %LOC%
md %systemdrive%\scriptfiles
scripten.exe /q /c /t:%systemdrive%\scriptfiles
pushd %systemdrive%\scriptfiles
::   will only copy files allready at destination   
for %%i in (*.dll) do makecab.exe %%i %%~ni.dl_
for %%i in (*.exe) do makecab.exe %%i %%~ni.ex_
makecab.exe wshom.ocx wshom.oc_
xcopy *.dl_ "%LOC%" /u /y /f
xcopy *.ex_ "%LOC%" /u /y /f
xcopy *.oc_ "%LOC%" /u /y /f
popd
rd %systemdrive%\scriptfiles /s /q
exit

you can either hardcode the destination folder in for your i386 folder or leave as is and enter it when prompted

***BE WARNED THIS HAS NOT BEEN TESTED BY ME***

allthough no reason why it wont work

and if anyone feels like testing it then please let me know if it does work

EDIT: error in script, i missed out wshom.ocx - fixed

[XtremeMaC]

wow that's very interesting the inf nor the cat file don't exist on any xp

(non-sp, sp1, sp2) ???

well okay maybe the inf is done though other inf's but how's the cat get registered? or does it have to?

okay parts of it lies under wsh.inf

[RyanVM]

XtremeMac pointed out the problem I see with that script. Yes, the files will likely be updated, but without at least a cat file, I don't think Windows will actually be aware of them being updated. As a result, WindowsUpdate will likely still prompt the user to install it (assuming that WS 5.6 eventually shows up on there).

EDIT: Also, /D CompressionType=LZX /D CompressionMemory=21 should be added to the makecab command to maximize compression.

How do you install Media Player and Highmat Silently?

[RyanVM]

Extract the MSI from the exe.

start /wait path\to\HMTCDWizard.msi /quiet /norestart

[MAVERICKS CHOICE]

Extract the MSI from the exe.

start /wait path\to\HMTCDWizard.msi /quiet /norestart

Cannot seem to extract the msi from my HMTCD.exe?

[GreenMachine]

I wish I could: anyone know how? I believe you can find it somewhere AFTER installation. Install the .EXE with the /QN (or /QB) switch works fine. Still, if anyone knows of a SCRIPTABLE way to extract the MSI, I'm all ears ...

[RyanVM]

If you start setup, you can pull the MSI file out of the temp folder.

[GreenMachine]

Anything SCRIPTABLE ?

[MAVERICKS CHOICE]

Extract the MSI from the exe.

start /wait path\to\HMTCDWizard.msi /quiet /norestart

Thanks found the msi but complains of incorrect switches when running

HMTCDWizard.msi /quiet /norestart[code]

Hi is it possible to install hotfixes using the batch file and is it recommended and if not

can i specify other folder for the svcpack other than in i386

Thanx in advance

@MAVERICKS CHOICE

it is because it is an exe not msi try using HMTCDWizard.exe /passive /norestart
