gunsmokingman Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Have you thought of adding the updates by the svcpack.inf method,MFSN Slipstream Update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 When you call your application.cmd ? (T - ? )I think it's best to install updates prior to applications ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 All Windows XP updates post SP2 have the /integrate switch option. Why even bother manually installing them when you can add them to your installation source? For each update (including the SP3 updates), just download (which you've already done) and run the .exe with the /integrate switch, pointing it to your Windows XP installation source. For anything that won't integrate properly (and there is at least one that I know of), you could use nlite to integrate it.If you do it this way, all of the integrated files get checked and updated as necessary at the T-13 stage, which would be before your applications get installed via SetupParams or GUIRunOnce.

Sonic Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Interesting way, I'm not remember this function, it's noted.For me, I use my method because I use for os already installed and not updated ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Sonic, if you've got a domain (or a workgroup with machines to which you can add registry entries) you could always install WSUS to handle Microsoft security updates. But yes, if you're updating an already installed system and you don't have WSUS, you'll have to do it with a batch or some other method. It might not be a bad idea to copy the updates down to the systems and use RunOnce to install the updates on a working system - it's a prettier way than a batch file . If you are able, a WSUS server is the easiest way to get updates to your machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleg_II Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 (edited) Maybe slipstream hotfixes with HFSLIP? It will extract from hotfixes and slipstream all needed files directly to the source before installation (it also reduces the size for unattended CD). It has some limitations (designed mostly for installing from CD) but some gents tried it with networking installations too.

Takeshi Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 From what I understand after reading various threads here, the /integrate method merely adds the updates via the svcpack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martijn Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Try nLite's Hotfix Integration feature, just select the lot, and nLite does the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
