Majoram Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Hey all, Other than the work involved in installing and collecting the fixes, what is the difference between RyanVMs stuff and manual integration? i.e. Size difference? File difference? Any details are welcome! I'm just curious. Thanks Majoram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 (edited) By manual, do you mean /integrate? If so:# Direct integration means that all hotfixed files are integrated into your CD from the start. No need to worry about your computer being insecure in the time prior to the installation of hotfixes.# This pack requires little extra space on the CD, especially when compared to other integration methods.From the very top of http://ryanvm.msfn.org/updatepack.html Edited June 29, 2005 by RyanVM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majoram Posted June 29, 2005 Author Share Posted June 29, 2005 D - O - H - ! Thanks again RyanVM!Guess I should learn to read huh?!From what I've figured out, in simple terms, your packs are the result of extracting all the hotfixes and replacing the the equivalent files in the install CD?i.e. no CABs or CATs or whatever it is that /integrate puts in /svcpack dirThanks again!(Where in the world do you get the time to answer all these posts???)

RyanVM Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 (edited) You've got the basic idea. I actually do put the CAT files in the svcpack directory as well, though. Putting them there and adding their entries to svcpack.inf allows the updated files to be protected by Windows File Protection.It saves a ton of time and space, though, since it doesn't require any EXEs to be on the CD and run during Windows setup, which /integrate does still.
