Quick Question About Post Sp2 Hotfixes

[azaze1]

When you use the /integrate command, does this method slipstream the update into the i386 directory, or does it automate the svcpack.inf method of install?

Depending on the hotfix, it's a combination of both. Do remember the /integrate ONLY works on CORE Windows hotfixes,not IE or WMP or .NET updates.

Ok, is there a list somewhere if which ones are slipstreamed in? It would be best to integrate those to save time for the install and space on the CD. So there is no redundant data.

I tried copying my entire cdroot directory for XP SP2 and integrating the first hotfix, and it just nuked svcpack.in_ and created the .inf file, and the svcpack dir in i386, and added the hotfix with a few other needed files. So that sounds like it is just replacing the runonceex method I currently use. In that case, I'd continue letting runonceex handle it.
