Will I have problems if I integrate Windows Updates that already exist

[The Lone Programmer]

I am fairly new to nLite, and I did a little bit of asking around. I did not ask around here, but to people I know who are good with computers.

I do not know which hotfixes, updates, or drivers I have already integrated into my windows disc. I am affraid to download all the windows updates and just re integrate them, because i am un-certain whether or not I will run into problems along the way.

My question is:

> If I already have the hotfixes, drivers, and updates integrated into my disc, is it bad if I try to integrate them again?

> If I tried to re integrate them, would it skip over the file, replace the old file with the new, or create a new slot in a library for it and screw up my windows for trying to install it twice?

If I am able to re integrate stuff I would just like to download all the windows xp updates and integrate them in without worrying about corrupting my windows or something.

Any help is appreciated.

Yes it is bad trying to integrate them again. It doesn't make a difference if u've already integrated them though, does it?

For cumulative updates, ie a hotfix pack w/more than one update, generally, u can integrate them, but i'd use the svcpack.inf method.

Use RyanVM Update Pack

UpdatePacks no good on an install w/already at least one hotfix in it
