XP Hotfix Integrator

[HJW]

Hello everybody,

I've or better I and my Multiboot pal have written a little program that integrates your windows updates into your xp directory. It isnt such a smart code as nlite or Powerpacker. But it doesnt mean it's crap..

It makes use of the integrate switch which most hotfixes carries with them.

It only automates this method:

Windows-KBxxxxx.exe /integrate:<xpcdpath>

Not any revelutionair piece of coding. But it may be handy...who knows?

Anyway I 've been using this prog for a while and I still like it.

it would be great if u would make it direct integrate the hotfixes..........

[HJW]

direct update the oem-files in the i386 directory, you mean? so no svcpack.inf neccesary?

I've been thinking about that... Maybe who knows.

But need to discover how to do it manual first B); then i can automate it

greetz..

nlite does it.....

[HJW]

nlite does it.....

I know, i already mentoined that in the 1# post. But is it also possible to patch those OEM files manually? like you open commandprompt and use some switches ??

Here's the real discussion starter. Either svcpack 'em (I think it's the microsoft way), or directly integrate by replacing the contents of compressed files.

Pro's of direct replacement, faster installs. Of course the cons are you are messing with the installs, and possibly have a bunch of errors in your logs, with inexplicable problems later.

Either way of course requires testing the installer before putting it into production.

Choose wisely grasshopper
