murphy Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 hii saw 2 packs in the addons of nliteboth contains updates after sp2which 1 to chose?thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Trout Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 That's a bit vague. However, I assume you mean RyanVM's pack, and Xable's pack (although there is a third, the WUzero update pack).Anyway, the difference is this: RyanVM's pack contains all updates. Xable's lite pack contains only high prioritiy updates, so it's your choice whether you want to keep your install lite, or include all the updates.Hope that answers your question.

Delprat Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 (edited) What packs did you see ???AFAICT :Booogy's WUZero Pack(s) contains all hotfixes released on WindowsUpdateRyanVM's Update Pack is the same plus non-public hotfixes, and a few more things (safedisc driver, makecab,...)Regarding these two, the second is closer to a pre-SP3, but can contain hotfixes you don't need (look at the changelogs, both authors had listed each included KBxxxxxx with the fixes' descriptions)++ Edited July 12, 2006 by Delprat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphy Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 thanks for your answeri guess i will prefer to use only the critical updates instead of the all packageand have things i dont needi can always use windows update site after finishing the installation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougiefresh Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 i can always use windows update site after finishing the installationExcuse me, I don't mean to be rude. But (at least, for me) the whole point of integrating updates using RyanVM's pack is so that you are completely up-to-date as of the Update Pack's release. (Granted, you have to download everything that came out after the UpdatePack, but that's just the way it goes.......) Critical updates are great, but there are more updates that really should be installed in addition to just critical updates. For more information on RyanVM's Update Pack, go to http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/updatepack.html. Links to information about all of the included patches are present there.
