jcarle Posted February 4, 2006 Author Share Posted February 4, 2006 Hey , Whats up with the development. really looking forward to this tool.Right now I'm disecting the XML file that nuhi showed me. I've found a link to a more recent version of it that's still being maintained. If everything goes well, you'll be able to download updates all the way back to windows 98! Though I may simply code support only for Windows 2000/XP/2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radimus Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Not really sure what your point is here - this topic is about a hotfix downloader for XP. My point was that we dont really need another tool to integrate these.... And before anyone says it, if you are in a corporate enviroment and are not using some form of server-based update then have a word with your IT dept....On the contrary, I would love to have a CD-ROM with all of the hofixes on it and an accompanying utility that would install all of the ones not already installed. I sometimes get called to an office where things are obviously FUBAR, and to run 20 workstations through a Windows Update routine would just take too long. Sure it would line my pockets pretty nice with the hourly rate I charge, but I don't operate like that. I like to get in and get out with the customer up, running, and smiling as quickly as possible.The other point. There TONS of smaller outfits where running WSUS is simply not an option. I simply cringe everytime I enter one of these offices, but there are indeed still a lot of small offices running on an NT4 domain. Or a small outfit that has one single server that does everything (usually SBS) and adding one more thing to the server would not be a great idea.I have a kixtart script that I put on a flash drive to apply all hotfixes (XP only) present in a folder that are already not installed.put kix32 and this script (install.kix) on the flashdrivemake a subfolder called winxp and dump all hotfixes therecreate an autorun.inf on the drive to prompt an autorun[autorun] Action=Install All Updates Open=kix32.exe .\install.kixbreak on if ingroup("\\@wksta\Administrators") ;Do not run section if not local admin ;************************************ XP HotFix Updates ***************************************** $arrkey = arrEnumKey('HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows XP\SP3') $arrdir = FileList(@scriptdir+'\WinXP','.exe',1) if not @error $reboot = 0 for each $dir in $arrdir $installed = 0 $parsed = split($dir,'-')[1] for each $key in $arrkey if $key = $parsed $installed = 1 endif next if not $installed $=sendmessage(@wksta,"A CRTICAL upgrade is now starting.

hoak Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Wow jcarle what an outstanding program! My only disapointment is that it's only for Windows XP... Any chance you'll add support for the Windows Server 2003? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
