Please GM, could you change one typo error :

what's wrong :

IE6.0sp1-KB867801-x86-ENU.EXE (OE Cumulative Update) 2,914,048 Bytes

should be

IE6.0sp1-KB867801-x86-ENU.EXE (IE Cumulative Update) 2,914,048 Bytes

Another question :

why should we keep Q832894.EXE in SVC-HF2.

M$ says :

MS04-025 (Q867801)

Security Update Replacement: This update replaces the one that is provided in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-004, which is itself a cumulative update.

MS04-004 (Q832894)

My latest 2KCREATE build include both Q823353.EXE (OE update) & Q867801.EXE (IE update) and exclude Q832894.EXE (old IE update).

Windows Update Automatic Update Service do not claims for Q832894.

Only one listed : 814078 Jscript 5.6 (problem with this one already mentionned in 2KCreate topic)

On M$ Windows Update webpage, only 814078 is listed as missing critical update.

with the help of the JSscript by krismark , i've got 0 critical update.

@Bilou_Gateux

Thanks for the info.

I'll try removing Q832894.EXE and test it out.

as for 814078 Jscript 5.6 i am aware of the problem, but i don't have the problem with my version so looking into it might prove difficult.

@GM

Could you add some coding to XPCREATE to rename the Hotfixes in various SVC-??? folders according to their short filename.

it can be done during "Sort Hotfixes ..." i presume

below sample code i use to rename them (name of the folder is passed as argument)

@echo off
setlocal
:: list all HF in specified folder
FOR /F "usebackq delims==" %%a IN (`DIR /A-D /OGN /B "%HFfolder%\*.exe"`) DO CALL :RENAME %%a
goto :EOF
:RENAME
set filename=%1
::SVC-POS folder
FOR /F "delims=- tokens=2" %%J IN ("%~n1") DO REN %HFfolder%\%1 %%J%~x1
::SVC-DAH folder
FOR /F "delims=_ tokens=2" %%J IN ("%~n1") DO REN %HFfolder%\%1 %%J%~x1
::SVC-HF2 folder
FOR /F "delims=- tokens=2" %%J IN ("%~n1") DO REN %HFfolder%\%1 %%J%~x1
FOR /F "delims=_ tokens=1" %%b IN ("%~n1") DO REN %HFfolder%\%1 %%b%~x1

SVC-POS folder old ---> new filename

IE6.0sp1-KB823353-x86-ENU.exe ---> KB823353.exe

IE6.0sp1-KB867801-x86-ENU.exe ---> KB867801.exe

are more friendly than (in SVCPACK)

IE60SP~1.EXE

IE60SP~2.EXE

in SVC-HF2

i do the same for renaming Windows-KB870669-x86-ENU.exe ---> KB870669.exe

i do the same for renaming rootsupd_afc57447f7caadd3253333e35777fcd.exe ---> rootsupd.exe

in SVC-DAH folder

i do the same for renaming FRN_Q832483_MDAC_x86.EXE ---> Q832483.EXE

I have just a problem with the DirectX90-KB839643-x86-ENU.EXE cat file

the name is KB8396~1.cat and should be KB839643.cat

According to the EULA, i haven't modified the XPCreate code nor published some parts of the code on this board.

When i run XPCreate, i don't create the ISO and burn it.

I apply first my modifications with my small bad written scripts to the CDROOT subfolders and edit the dosnet.inf or svcpack.inf files in NEWFILES before put them back in CDROOT\I386 subfolder.

But it's time consuming and not errorless...

P.S. : i hate the ~ because i don't remember witch key on a french keyboard to obtain the char on command line with the regional options set to English... and i love 8.3 naming convention !

Sorry, Bilou ... I know you aren't going to like this one ...

Renaming the files as you suggest requires to much "special case" handling on my part. I really try to keep XPCREATE generic. However, I was having name conflicts using the generated 8.3 names from similarly named files in different directories. My solution has been to rename ALL the hotfixes, using a prefix and a sequential counter. While this works fine for my purposes, it makes the files unrecognizable for subsequent modifications.

I told you that you would not like that one. I will, however, consider doing something different for the NEXT release (not the current test release). God only knows when that will be ...

Thanks again Bilou, and sorry ...

EDIT:: I wanted to add ... Thanks, Bilou_Gateux, for respecting the EULA.

[Hestranho]

Please, include an option to cancel the new automatic renaming!!

I've also ran into the conficting names problem and like Bilou_Gateux I prefer the short names, so I simply rename all the files by hand. It's not really much work and I like to keep the files recognizable.

[GreenMachine]

OK. I have added that option. I'll leave it until it causes me problems ...
