cartman02au Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 The security fixes pre-SP4 are in Service Pack 4!!!The security fixes POST SP4 (which is what I assume you meant) will need to be downloaded individually. Here is a site which may help with a list: http://www.vorck.com/wu.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2it Posted November 7, 2004 Author Share Posted November 7, 2004 yes, I am aware that SP4 are all of the updates, but I am not looking to install them all at once... I have this problem when I integrate the sp4 into my windows 2000 unnattended image that cause IE to remain as version 5 even tho I go and update it to 6.1..... I notice that if I install the IE 6.1 updates before I install sp4 then everything seems to work.. So, I would like to go and download that file and a few others, integrate them into my image and then put sp4 on it.... Does that make any sense..?n2it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cartman02au Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Hi,I know what you mean now. Have you looked at the coporate site for downloads? (just choose Windows 2000 SP3 and ignore any post SP4).I have a slipstreamed SP4 but I do not have IE 6 built into that, I install it and it's patches afterwards.Cheers,Cartman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyp Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 It IS possible to have IE6 in w2k's i386 folder (with lots of tweaks). I have just finished a cd that has all the hotfixes (except MDAC), ie5, oe6 without ever running a hotfix executable. Installation time was shaved by about 25%. Before anyone asks... I think it's about 100 meg of updated files. Ouch. It's sort of a slipstreamed W2KSP5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilou_Gateux Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 @tommypCould you describe how you achieve that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyp Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 It was a long and tedious process that took about 4 solid working days. Basically I started this effort after many failed XPCreate attempts with the October 12th hotfixes. XPCreate is a great program, but it wasn't really cutting it for me with that last go around of hotfixes. I don't have all the details in front of me now, but here's basically what I did. Some of the file names listed below may not be correct. But you can get the jist of what I did. To slipstream the IE6 into your w2k installation, you need modded XP files (ie.in_, wab50.in_ and msoe.in_), several extracted files from the IE6 installer cabs, a modification to the txtsetup.sif file to add in some additional files, and SFC.dll & SETUPAPI.DLL files located on FDV's website. I then ran XPcreate with a round of hotfixes that I knew worked to get a working source and tested it with a virual pc. Then I copied the files from my IE6 modded installer over (a series of DLLs, infs, exe's and the new txtsetup.sif) to the working source directory. I found out that modding the syssetup.in_ file cannot be modded. The only issue I had with integrating IE6 was that there was no IE icon on the desktop or the quicklaunch area. The quicklaunch block was there, but IE wasn't. IE gets installed and remains a hidden file. The icon can be turned on with a regedit though. Once that was done, I had two or three more hotfixes to further integrate. So I expanded the remaining hotfixes and assembled them all into a work folder overwriting old versions. Once that was done, I began preparing a load of inf files that accompany each of the hotfixes applied, and once w2k is installed, it runs the INFs to put in the registry changes that are needed by each hotfix. Last nite I integrated the MDAC into my source. Directx9 will remain as a stand alone installer for now. The HFNETCHK program says all hotfixes are applied as far as file revisions go, however, windowsupdate said I was missing 5. One was ironed out (some msxml issue). So for now, I'm working on the last of the 4 critical updates to report correctly. I believe my w2k i386 folder was somewhere around 250 meg with all the updates applied. That does NOT include WMP9 series as I hate that program. Total install time of W2k less programs is a whopping 15 minutes. I'm sure it will be less once I nlite it. If you need more details, let me know. I'll start a new thread on how I did it. TommyP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilou_Gateux Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 It's one of my next purpose to integrates IE and MDAC in my 2K source.At the moment, i'm on the study of MDAC_TYP.EXE 2.71 Service Pack 1 Refresh (2.71.9040.2) and IE6SP1 IE6SETUP.EXE and CAB's to compare the content with the previous versions IE5.01 and MDAC2.53 included in W2K.Your idea to use the XP versions of the inf's files is interesting because that's the same versions i want to slipstream.If you start a new thread, i will be one of the first to experiment further.Just want not to loose time with problems already solved by others.About XPCreate and latest W2K HotFixes, i achieve a working 2K CD with some little modifications.
