Integrate the new Hot Fixes

[brian873]

As the new hot fixes are out I thought I would try to integrate them in to my WIN XP with SP2 source files and create a new ISO for installation.

I have searched for the answer but the search only returns results for integrating automatically with the tools available on the site.

I used the following to integrate the updates with my source.

Extract the installations files from the download using -C:\xpcd\hotfix\WindowsXP-KB834707-x86-ENU.exe -x

Integrate the installations files with my source using -

C:\xpcd\hotfix\834707\update\update.exe /passive /integrate:C:\xpcd\winxpsp2

I can integrate WindowsXP-KB834707-x86-ENU.exe and it seems to work fine. When I test it with the command [C:\xpcd\hotfix\834707\update\update.exe /l] it looks to have worked ok.

When I follow the process for these updates it does not work.

WindowsXP-KB886185-x86-ENU.exe

WindowsXP-KB885836-x86-ENU.exe

WindowsXP-KB885835-x86-ENU.exe

WindowsXP-KB873339-x86-ENU.exe

I know I can use one of the tools available on MSFN.org to help me do it automatically but I would like to be able to do this myself.

Can anyone shed light on this for me? Thanks

I just wrote a thing about that look abow you

Hummm. I just tested on my Windows XP Pro SP2 English distribution folder and I had no problem using the /integrate: switch...

The proper method to integrate these hotfixes is to download the hotfixes and then go to the command prompt:

KBxxx.exe /integrate: ABSOLUTE PATH TO YOUR INSTALLATION FILES (the root where I386 is located)

There is no need to unpack the hotfixes before doing so.

Thanks guys.... got it working now....

Incroyable HULK:

Does the order in what ones you integrate matter ?

hail hail

[Incroyable HULK]

I don't think so... afterall if you take a look in your svcpack folder (inside I386) you get the hotfixes copied over and some simple entry in svcpack.inf.

If it hadn't worked for you I would have suggested you do it the old fashion way like we use to with Windows XP SP1

Here is the current svcpack.inf

[CatalogHeader]

[Version]
BuildNumber=2600
MinorVersion=1
MajorVersion=5
Signature="$WINDOWS NT$"
[SetupData]
CatalogSubDir="\I386\svcpack"
[SetupHotfixesToRun]
KB886185.exe /q /n /z
KB885836.exe /q /n /z
KB885835.exe /q /n /z
KB873339.exe /q /n /z
KB885626.exe /q /n /z
KB834707.exe /q /n /z

It dosn't matter if they don't depend on each other, no.

I still can't get over just how stupid Microsoft's /integrate command is.

[mimo78]

actualy I think the integrate command makes it alot easyer to update your unattended cd.

You don't have to worry about placing it in an update folder using qchain.exe and updating your svcpack.inf

I think this is a briliant idea and it works for me quick and easy.

[prathapml]

Yeah right, it may not matter what order, as of now.

But for the sake of doing it the right way, always integrate the oldest hot-fix first, and newest one at the last (because some hot-fixes would contain conflicting file-versions in the future).

@prathapml

You mean in the svcpack.inf right? So it would look like this (numerical classification):

[CatalogHeader]

[Version]
BuildNumber=2600
MinorVersion=1
MajorVersion=5
Signature="$WINDOWS NT$"
[SetupData]
CatalogSubDir="\I386\svcpack"
[SetupHotfixesToRun]
KB834707.exe /q /n /z
KB873339.exe /q /n /z
KB885626.exe /q /n /z
KB885835.exe /q /n /z
KB885836.exe /q /n /z
KB886185.exe /q /n /z
[ProductCatalogsToInstall]
KB834707.cat
KB873339.cat
KB885626.cat
KB885835.cat
KB885836.cat
KB886185.cat

does anybody know ,why exactly do i need the catalog files for these hotfixes?

cause i install them without putting anything in

[ProductCatalogsToInstall]

and it works out fine

[prathapml]

You mean in the svcpack.inf right?

No....

Follow the policy, whatever method you use. Have the oldest hotfix "/integrate" ed into I386 source first, and work your way upwards.
