integrating hotfix from extracted package?

[sangwooksohn]

Hi, I recently downloaded a hotfix pacakge that includes a number of hotfixes post to Windows XP Service Pack 2.

However, some of hotfixes were already extracted, and missing the original software update package.

While I can use "/integrate" switch to integrate hotfixes (those of the original software update package files) to my original Windows XP SP2 CD, I cannot find a way to integrate extracted hotfix package to my WXPSP2 CD.

Running "update.exe /integrate" gives me following message:

"Extracted packages cannot be integrated. The /integrate switch must be used with the original software update package"

Is there any way to alter this message and process the update integration from extracted package? I mean other than putting files in "svcpack" folder and editing "Svcpack.inf" file?

Thanks in advance for all your help. :-)

Don't know the answer to your question, but why don't you just download the original packages and use those instead or reinventing the wheel? Here is a list...

The ones I have are unobtainable.

But anyway, here are the list of hotfixes that I cannot find.

[cy.]

are those post SP2 hotfixes?

why so many??

[dman]

Any hotfixes not on the list above are not needed for post-sp2. That is a list of everything since sp2 was released.

[cy.]

his list seems longer than the one in the sticky?

[trickytwista]

way too many there...something aint right

[RyanVM]

He got them from war59312's site. They're unreleased hotfixes that are available by request only.

And no, you can't use /integrate unless you have the original EXE. My suggestion would be to convert each of those to SFX archives which call "update\update.exe /q /o /n/ z" when run and add them to svcpack.inf.

[sangwooksohn]

Thanks for all your help, especially Ryan.

I will try your suggestion.

And by the way, I downloaded the hotfixes from:

hxxp://www.willsdownloads.com

[RyanVM]

Like I said, that's war59312's site.

And of course, you could always just use my update pack if you want them integrated

[tjhart85]

I would suggest Ryan's update pack. Works flawlessly (assuming you follow the instructions) and takes a lot less space on your XP CD than the /integrate method
