Nice find. Is there an equivalent for Microsoft Update?

i believe the regsvr thingy is to enable "automatic update" to be added as a service. still have to confirm if this is applicable all the time... RyanVM may have the answer

as for the update agent app, it seems a very attractive option, that is unless you're lacking cd space, then the recompressed 1.3mb wu6 update may still be a viable option.

Shark007's method worked fine for me, I just used the regsvr in my cleanup cmd run

from the hive and works perfect............

But I am going to try the silent install as well........

Windows Update v6 Client installed (on XP french) silenlty with " /wuforce /quiet /norestart"

and no popup for install when going to WindowsUpdate.com !

Great !

The regsvr is to register the DLL with Windows.

I'm a bit confused, is there any downside to using Shark007's method of integrating?

Im using WPI, should i run the regsrv before or after WPI, or does it matter?

the update agent works very well also, after removing unneeded files and making

a SFX, it's 1.65mb and installs silently, then defaults to windows update v6...........

thanks brosy for the heads up............

@BoardBabe

Shark007's method :

Copy/paste the file into your I386 cd directly, copy the Wusp2.dll in x:\$OEM$\$$\system32\

and in your cmdlines.txt run the regsvr32 command ...

I have prepared my cd but not yet tested ...

Goodbye.

@sonic: Ah ofcourse cmdlines.txt is the best place to run the regsrv. How do I run it from there? Do I need to make a .cmd file that I call from cmdlines.txt or can i run the command directly from cmdlines.txt somehow?

in your cmdlines.txt call a batch file which have the regsvr .. it's more effective I think ...

Hmm the shark007 method did not work for me. Just did a real format. The windows update site asked me to update to v6... followed all your steps...

followed all your steps

oh?

how can you possibly have followed my steps when you dont even know

what cmdlines.txt is?

Ah ofcourse cmdlines.txt is the best place to run the regsrv. How do I run it from there?

during the runoncex installation proccess i execute

regsvr32 /s %windir%\system32\wups2.dll

cmdlines.txt executes @ -t12.

runouncex.cmd is usually executed by cmdlines.txt which in turn loads

commands into the registry to run on next boot.

i apologize for being blunt.

editted to insert the apology

@Shark007

Uh... ohkey... That's just rude...

Despite your doubt of my skills I did infact do exactly as you described and it did not work. Windows Update website asked me to update to V6.

Could it be different on my Norwegian system?

Running WindowsUpdateAgent20-x86 with /quiet /noreboot works good, but your integrating method is still of my interest.

I have compressed and replaced all files in i386 dir, verified that wups2.dll was copied to system32 dir, and tried to register it from both cmdlines.txt and at cleanup after WPI completion. Note that all tests were run at clean & real format...

Keep up the good work...

i apologize again. from your posts it seemed you ran regsvr32

frpm cmdlines.txt / this i have not tested and assumed it

was at fault for your failure.

as stated at the beginning of my post, it works for me.

i'm sorry it doesnt for you.

Shark

Guess it was'nt ment to be then ;-)

Well thanks for a nice guide anyway
