trying to install last 4 updates via a batch file

[clivebuckwheat]

what am i doing wrong ?. They don't seem to be getting installed

Windows-KB890830-V1.17.exe /Q /O /N /Z

windowsxp-kb892130-enu-x86.exe /Q /O /N /Z

windowsxp-kb905474-enu-x86.exe /Q /O /N /Z

Windows-KB913433-x86-ENU.exe /Q:A /R:N

qchain.exe

[Gee]

KB905474 has to be installed at RunOnceEx.cmd

for a start you need to rename to a 8.3 format (kb123456.exe) and then add them into your winnt.sif or another way is nlite but nlite does not support them all

nLite which is only compatible with the newer hotfixes that have been recently released, and again suggested

only for Windows XP SP2.

Copy all your downloaded hotfix files into this directory: C:\XPCD\i386\SVCPACK\

(C:\XPCD\) been your source

All hotfixes must be renamed to an 8.3 naming format (no more than 8 characters in length). For example, filenames such as

Q819696_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe and WindowsXP-KB824146-x86-ENU.exe should be renamed to Q819696.exe and

KB824146.exe in that order respectively.

Below are the necessary SVCPACK.INF entries for Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 2003 respectively.

Open Notepad and copy and paste the following below:

;Windows 2000

[Version]

Signature=" NT$"

MajorVersion=5

MinorVersion=0

BuildNumber=2195

[setupData]

CatalogSubDir="\i386\SVCPACK"

[ProductCatalogsToInstall]

[setupHotfixesToRun]

Q330994.exe /Q:A /R:N

Q819696.exe /Q /O /N /Z

KB824146.exe /Q /O /N /Z

qchain.exe

;Windows XP

[Version]

Signature=" NT$"

MajorVersion=5

MinorVersion=1

BuildNumber=2600

[setupData]

CatalogSubDir="\i386\SVCPACK"

[ProductCatalogsToInstall]

[setupHotfixesToRun]

Q330994.exe /Q:A /R:N

Q819696.exe /Q /O /N /Z

KB824146.exe /Q /O /N /Z

qchain.exe

;Windows 2003

[Version]

Signature=" NT$"

MajorVersion=5

MinorVersion=2

BuildNumber=3790

[setupData]

CatalogSubDir="\i386\SVCPACK"

[ProductCatalogsToInstall]

[setupHotfixesToRun]

Q330994.exe /Q:A /R:N

Q819696.exe /Q /O /N /Z

KB824146.exe /Q /O /N /Z

qchain.exe

Save this as svcpack.inf in C:\XPCD\I386\. You must delete svcpack.in_ in the I386 directory otherwise Windows XP Setup will

not use the svcpack.inf file.

The entries shown in [setupHotfixesToRun] are just an example. All the hotfixes you have downloaded, renamed and copied to the

SVCPACK folder should be added under this section in svcpack.inf in numerical order.

I have done this method. It seems the 4 updates are still needing to be installled.

here is a copy of my svcpack.inf

KB892130.exe /Q /O /N /Z

KB905474.exe /Q /O /N /Z

KB905474.exe /Q:A /R:N

qchain.exe

what am I doing wrong?

[Gee]

Well for starters. The switches for KB905474 are wrong

kb905474.exe /q /n /z

The recent release of this hotfix can be loaded via SVCPack.

Here are what the other switches should be

kb890830.exe /q

kb892130.exe /q /n /z

Still can't get the hotfixes to install via svcpack.inf
