I'm rolling a Windows 2000 unattended install, but having problems with some updates. For example, one of the first windows-updates installations is an updated version of windows update! Windows Update is a very difficult term to search for on the microsoft.com site as well as this one. Is there a way to pre-download this type of update in a package ready to install?

Another example is the Root Certificates Update (currently dated 2/28/2006). I can't seem to find an installable package.

I don't remember the link on microsoft.com (there is in cabpool, you can find the link in .log of C:\windows\DistributionSofware if I remember)

I have made mirror of the Windows Update v6 client international on my ftp:

You need to install Windows Installer 3.1v2 and its patch too :

(In fact there are basic files to run automatic updates without "pre-patchs" on windows xp, I think it's same for windows 2k, wait confirmation for an user of win2k )

As for the Root Certifacate Update, are looking for this file??
