HOTFIXES: Windows XP SP2 & Windows 2000 SP4

[Sonic]

the updates on wu are only critical for windows....so that's why not all from here appear on wu. the others just update files form windows or just add registry entries  but they are not critical.

@sonic

as for windows messenger not to show up on your wu page go expand it and see that it has an option there that says: Don't show this update again. that is it....

Yes, it's the solution, but how can I do this silently ?

Thanks.

You can install the file silently by using the /Q:A /R:N switches.

working good... is there also a tweak to take the "manage add-ons" icon off the status bar when trying to get a WU?

Without arguments, the install runs silenlty.

Seems to work with other languages too (tested on dutch version)

It does not add an entry in the registry under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows XP\SP3\

Still have to find out where it does (I use a script to install hotfixes)

think this reg key has to do with wga, from another thread. however, maybe it's irrelevant but i like the consequences of this one.

how to integreate the following knowledge base article "WindowsXP-KB885884-x86-enu"? Its an update for machines deployed with office xp (sp3).

You have to run it after Office is installed. It updates a file which comes with Office XP, not Windows XP.
