Jamall Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Which method of installing the hotfixes on Windows XP systems are faster?1. The /Integrate switch?2. By installing through svcpack.inf?3. By installing through GUIrunone?4. e.t.c..The title states about using the integrating method or the svcpack.inf method but I added #3 and #4 incase someone should mention it.But as it was said on GreenMachine's homepage, the guirunonce method was slower then svcpack.inf so i think #3 should be out of the question.Thanx!

Incroyable HULK Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I think using the /integrate: feature on the hotfixes will give the fastest results for the installation time matter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I think using the /integrate: feature on the hotfixes will give the fastest results for the installation time matter...Indeed... Because then no installers will have to be executed to apply the hotfixes, they become part of the regular installation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because then no installers will have to be executed to apply the hotfixes, they become part of the regular installation! but doesn't using the /integrate also add entries to SVCPACK.INF so that the hotfix runs during setup and applies the registry entries. The /integrate jsut updates the source files as well incase a file gets deleted and is restored from CD.Fastest is probally RyanVM's driver pack as no EXE is ever executed at all.

eirogge Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 i guess most people dont realize that the /integrate on hotfixes is nothing else than an automation of the SVCPACK.inf method. no files are replaced when using, it just creates the file and folderstructure and copies the kb******.exe file to svcpack folder.the hotfixes are called at T13, you can verify this very easily using shift+f10 and the tasklist command.
