MS GDI+ Detection Tool Alert

[PlayWithFire]

Hello, this is the first problem that i ran into, and i know the answer is simple. I've done a search, but nothing came up, maybe i am not formulating it the right way.

I am using a SVCPACK method to install all the hotfixes, and here's the INI

;Windows XP

[Version]

Signature="$Windows NT$"

MajorVersion=5

MinorVersion=1

BuildNumber=2600

[setupData]

CatalogSubDir="\i386\SVCPACK"

[ProductCatalogsToInstall]

[setupHotfixesToRun]

MP10Setup.exe

KB903235.exe /q /n /z

KB901214.exe /q /n /z

KB898461.exe /q /n /z

KB896428.exe /q /n /z

KB886185.exe /q /n /z

KB885836.exe /q /n /z

KB885835.exe /q /n /z

KB885626.exe /q /n /z

KB885250.exe /q /n /z

KB883939.exe /q /n /z

KB873374.exe /Q:A /R:N

REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\GdiDetectionTool" /v "GDITool" /t REG_DWORD /d "00000001" /f

KB873339.exe /q /n /z

KB873333.exe /q /n /z

the two lines that are highlighted, i am sure are problematic, but i am not sure what to do

The thread containing all the hot fixes that's linked from the guide says this

KB873374 -› Microsoft GDI+ Detection Tool

Download -› 216 KB (September 21, 2004)

Switches: KB873374.exe /Q:A /R:N (HALT BOX)

import this registry setting instead:

REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\GdiDetectionTool" /v "GDITool" /t REG_DWORD /d "00000001" /f

During the install i get the following message

Microsoft GDI+ Detection Tool

The software tool did not detect any Microsoft Office, Microsoft Picture It, or Microsoft .Net Framework software on your computer that is vulnerable to the GDI+ Graphics Component Security vulnerability.

What is the correct way to install that hotfix?

And again, sorry if this has been asked, but the search yields nothing

The thread is indicating that you add the "

REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\GdiDetectionTool" /v "GDITool" /t REG_DWORD /d "00000001" /f" in the RunOnceEX after GUI part of the XP Setup.

so does that mean i should get rid of

KB873374.exe /Q:A /R:N

REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\GdiDetectionTool" /v "GDITool" /t REG_DWORD /d "00000001" /f

from the svcpack file and add

REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\GdiDetectionTool" /v "GDITool" /t REG_DWORD /d "00000001" /f

to runonce?

does that mean the hotfix won't get installed? if so, i guess it's not needed?

From my understanding, yes. I believe that is why it says "Halt Box" and "instead use this" but hopefully someone else will reply to this thread to confirm this!

ok, i hope someone can clarify, i spent all of last night combing these forums trying to find out the answer, but can't seem to find anything.

I want what everyone here wants. Create a CD that once it's finished, i can just use the PC and not worry about installing anything.
